| dc.description.abstract | Ginkgo biloba is frequently consumed due to its perceived ability to treat a
wide range of illnesses and conditions. Acute toxicity testing was conducted to
evaluate the safety profile of Ginkgo biloba. The study involved 20 female mice
divided into four groups: one control group receiving distilled water and three
treatment groupsreceiving Ginkgo biloba at doses of 5, 10, and 15 g/kg body weight,
respectively. The administration of Ginkgo biloba and distilled water was
performed via gastric tube in a single dose, with observations commencing 14 days
post- treatment. The evaluation of observation are mortality, physiological
responses, and clinical symptoms. Additional parameters examined included body
weight, absolute organ weight, relative organ weight. The results of the acute
toxicity test on Ginkgo biloba revealed no significant differences in clinical
symptoms, body weight, organ weight, or no mortality rates. It was concluded that
Ginkgo biloba is practically harmless substance. | |
