Safety study of extract of medicago sativa sowing grass

Abstract

In this study there was determined the absence of toxic effect after a single intragastric administration of EGMS at a dose of 5000 mg / kg to male and female rats. According to the conventional toxicological classification of substances, under the intragastric administration EGMS belongs to class V of toxicity – practically harmless substances (LD50 >5000 mg / kg). The results of macro- and microscopic studies of internal organs in 14 days after a single intragastric administration of EGMS at a dose of 5000 mg / kg showed the absence of any anatomical and morphological disorders in tissue structures of male and female rats. The calculated value of TI, which lies beyond 200, indicates a high level of safety of EGMS and its prospectivity for medical practice as an effective and safe corrector of protein metabolism with an anabolic action.
