Toxic effects of oral administration of extracts of dried calyx of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (Malvaceae)

Abstract: The effects of a 90-day oral administration of water and alcohol extracts of dried calyx of Hibiscus sabdariffa were evaluated in albino rats. Haematological, biochemical and histopathological changes were monitored every 30 days.The death of the animals was preceded by a severe loss in weight, accompanied with diarrhoea in animals on the 2000 mg/kg dose. There was an increase in food intake (g) per kg body weight per day in the aqueous (A) and ethanol (E) 300 mg/kg extract groups. Significant reductions in th… Show more

“…These flavonoid substances are effective free radicals scavenger [16]. Anthocyanin found in the extract ethanol is less than one using water [12] hence the increase of Scr is not found to be significant in this research. If muscular dystrophy occurs, the creatinine production will diminish due to muscle formation inefficiency leading to increase in creatinine in the blood [17].…”

“…Toxic effect occurs at 10,000-66,000 mg/kg body weight H. sabdariffa intake for rats (regular and long period intake). The effects could be muscular dystrophy leading to renal disturbance [12]. The increase in Scr level is due to the content of anthocyanin and quersetin found in H. sabdariffa extract.…”

“…The subchronic effect (12 weeks) of H. sabdariffa calyx aqueous extract at the doses of 1.15, 2.30, and 4.60 g/kg induced testicular toxicity (Orisakwe et al, 2004). Moreover, a 90-day oral administration in albino rats of water and alcohol extracts of dried calyx of H. sabdariffa at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg caused the death of the animals, preceded by a severe loss in weight accompanied with diarrhoea (Fakeye et al, 2009). Although, H. sabdariffa is long used in traditional medicines, the chronic toxicity study of water extract has never been determined.…”
