Oral toxicity study of certain plant extracts containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

In conclusion, the administration for 28 days, of the tested extracts, in a dose which correspond to a PAs concentration over the limits imposed in some countries, produced no hepatic and biliary toxic effects. Further studies, extended over a longer period of time, are needed in order to determine the safety of plant extracts containing PAs. PMID: 28002518 [PubMed - in process]
