ABSTRAK
Kajian
ini menilai empat dos yang berbeza bagi jus Strobilanthes crispa (700, 2100, 3500 dan 4900 mg
kg-1 berat badan) diberikan secara oral kepada tikus betina dan jantan Sprague
Dawley ke atas perubahan dalam pelbagai fizikal, perilaku, morfologi dan
parameter biokimia. Tikus diubati dengan dos tunggal jus dan diperhatikan
selama 14 hari. Tidak ada ketoksikan signifikan yang didapati bagi parameter
klinikal dan morfologi organ. Selain itu, tidak ada perubahan signifikan yang
diamati pada tahap aspartat aminotransferase, alanin aminotransferase, alkali
fosfatase, kreatinin dan albumin. Jus S. crispus didapati selamat pada dos
maksimum yang digunakan dalam kajian ini (4900 mg kg-1 berat badan).
Kata kunci: Jus S. crispus; ketoksikan akut;
morfologi organ; parameter klinikal
ABSTRACT
This
study evaluated four different doses of Strobilanthes crispa juice (700, 2100, 3500 and
4900 mg kg-1 of body weight) administered orally to normal female and male
Sprague dawley rats on possible changes in various physical, behaviour, morphology
and biochemical parameter. The rats were treated with a single dose of juice
and observed for 14 days. No significant toxicity was observed with respect to
clinical parameters and organ morphology. In addition, no significant changes
were observed in the level of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine
aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine and albumin. The S. crispus
juice was found to be safe at the maximum dose used in this study (4900 mg kg-1
of body weight).
Keywords:
Acute toxicity; clinical parameters; organ morphology; S. crispus juice
