A study on the antitoxic effects of Herba Taraxaci extracts against Cadmium Chloride Toxicity in Rats. This study was performed to find out the effect of taraxacum platy carpum against Cadmium toxicity. The experimental rats were divided into 5 groups such as control group, Cadmium alone treatment group, three simultaneous treatment groups of taraxacum platy carpum and cadmium. Rat were given pellets administration with three dosage of taraxacum platy carpum such as 4 mg/kg body weight for four weeks. The results were summarized as follows on: 1. The simultaneously administration of taraxacum platy carpum and cadmium significantly more decreased cadmium concentration in liver and kidney tissues compared to the administration of cadmium alone. (p<0.05) 2. The simultaneously administration of taraxacum platy carpum and cadmium significantly more increased metallothionein concentration in liver and kidney tissues compared to administration alone. (p<0.05) 3. When liver and kidney tissues were observed with optical microscope obvious changes were visible in those tissue.
