Abstract
Severe liver damage can be produced in mice by feeding the seed of I. endecaphylla. The toxicity of seed is not reduced by heating it strongly. Similar liver damage can be produced by feeding the chloroform-extracted residue of the leaf which is free from β-nitropropionic acid. Assessment of the degree and type of histological liver damage produced is a reliable index of the toxicity of the material fed.Keywords
