|
Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the biological activities of methanol extracts of fermented Camellia japonica leaf and flower.
Methods: Methanol extracts of fermented Camellia japonica leaf and flower were prepared and a dose of 100 and 400mg/kg/day was administered orally into mice. And after appropriate weeks, changes of serum enzyme activities were investigated to confirm its effects on serum glucose, cholesterol and short term administration safety.
Results: Fermented flower extract showed significant decrease of serum level of cholesterol. And showed no toxicity on kidney and liver within the dose of 400mg/kg/day.
Conclusions: Thus above result showed no toxicity on kidney and liver in male and female mice.
