The Oroxylum indicumplant is aherbal plant commonly eaten by the locals in Malaysia while the application of herbal remedies from the plant has been inherited and passed down through generations. However, there is a lack of toxicity profiling of the plant, hence this research aimed toinvestigate acute oral toxicity ofethanol extract of O. indicumin C57BL/6 male mice at different concentrations, to determine the LD50of the plant extract. A total of twenty-five mice were randomly assigned into five experimental groups comprising the control (normal saline), vehicle (5% DMSO), low dose (1000 mg/kg bw), medium dose (2000 mg/kg bw) and high dose …
Effectiveness Of Embalming Solutions With Partial Replacement Of Formaldehyde And Phenol With Ethanol And Sodium Chloride On Mice Over 18 Months, Kriengyot Sajjacharoenpong, Pawana Chuesiri
Effectiveness Of Embalming Solutions With Partial Replacement Of Formaldehyde And Phenol With Ethanol And Sodium Chloride On Mice Over 18 Months, Kriengyot Sajjacharoenpong, Pawana Chuesiri
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Animal preservation for anatomy teaching has been required to replace formaldehyde and phenolwhich represent a health hazard to humans. A comparative study of embalming solutions with partial replacement of formaldehyde and phenol with sodium chloride and ethanol was evaluated in mouse cadavers over an 18-month period. Twelve adult mouse carcasses were divided into six groups of two mice each. After openingthe mouse’s skin,the internal organswere removed and preserved with the remaining cadavers by freezing (Group I, control group) or in the respective embalming solution (Groups II to VI) and examined after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. For the embalming …

Preference Testing As Environmental Enrichment Assessment For Laboratory Mice, Navakanit Sachanonta, Waridtha Sa-Ngeunreung, Somchai Sa-Ing-Kaew, Raywadee Butraporn
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
In the field of biomedical research, a wide variety of environmental enrichment items are available for laboratory mice to fulfill its physiological and behavioral needs which influence the outcome of animal experiments. However, to take a decision on the most suitable enrichment, researchers are likely to consider the cost of enrichment item more than animal preference and animal well-being. To develop a suitable environmental enrichment program for mice in Laboratory Animal Center, National Institute of Health (LAC-Thai NIH), we evaluated mouse preference for cages containing different types of nesting material and enrichment device. We carried out a simple preference test …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
This study was conducted to investigate Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection in mammal and avian byusing mice and baby chickens as model animals. Thailand 2010 and Ross/186 strain (reference strain) were used inthis study. 104, 106 and 108 CID50 of CHIKV were inoculated to four- and six-week-old mice. Blood was collected andtested for virus for seven days. 108 CID50 of CHIKV was inoculated to two-week-old mice. Blood was collected andtested for virus for five days. For the baby chickens, 102, 104, 106 and 108 CID50 of CHIKV were inoculated to five-dayoldbaby chickens. Blood was collected and tested for virus for seven …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The safety of ethanolic extract from the seeds of Moringa oleifera was evaluated for its oral toxicity by acute toxicity test and subchronic toxicity study in experimental animals. The acute toxicity test in mice showed that the extract at doses ranging from 5.1 to 10.0 g/kg caused toxic signs and dose dependent mortality. Oral administration of the extract in rats at doses of 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day for 90 consecutive days revealed that male rats treated with the extract at 1000 mg/kg had a significant decrease in RBC but this alteration was within rats reference range. A significant decrease …

Several plants species in the genus Ardisia contained various biologically active compounds. Ram Yai orPilangkasa (Ardisia elliptica Thunb.) has been used in traditional medicines. The objective of this study was to evaluatethe safety of ethanolic extract of A. elliptica fruit in animal models by oral administration. Acute toxicity test in miceby gavage the extract at each dose of 2.5 g/kg twice revealed no abnormal signs, mortality and gross lesion of vitalorgans. Subchronic toxicity study was investigated in one hundred Wistar rats separated into five groups, each oftwenty (ten males and ten females). Two control groups received distilled water and 0.5% …

Moringa oleifera leaves have been reported to possess potential hypotensive and hypocholesterolemic andhypoglycemic activities; nevertheless toxicological data of this herb in animal models have still been scanty. Theobjective of this study was to evaluate both acute and chronic toxicity of the water extract of M. oleifera leaves by oraladministration. Acute toxicity test in mice by gavage with the extract twice, each at the dose of 10 g/kg, revealed thatthe extract produced no acute toxic symptoms and gross lesions of vital organs. Chronic toxicity study wasinvestigated in eighty Wistar rats allocated into four groups, each of ten per sex. Group 1 …
