Biochemical Screening of The Effect of a Plant Extract on Albino Mice Physiology

Chinmoy Choudhury, Meenakshi Bawari, G. D. Sharma

Abstract :

A plant shows medicinal or toxic property depending upon its active constituents. It is easily acceptable that a plant may show both the property in different combination or concentration. Here in this study a plant having medicinal use has taken for screening its toxicity. It has been found that the plant showed marked toxicity against the nervous system and liver of albino mice. The elevation in the entire three enzyme ie. Brain LPO, SGOT and SGPT by the seed extract of Thevetia peruviana has cleared the fact that the extract affects the physiology of the animal.
