dc.description.abstractThe short-term and long-term effects of two most commonly used brown and black masheri were studied in Swiss mice and Syrian golden hamsters. In short-term studies, both the types of masheri extracts (ME) at 3/4 LD50 dose given ip did not have any effect on either liver or plasma vitamin C levels (both species). However, a decrease in liver vitamin A was observed only in hamsters injected with black ME. Similar effect was not observed in mice injected with both the types of masheri extracts. In long-term studies, when both the types of masheri were fed through diet at 10% level for 20 months, no effect was observed on hepatic or plasma vitamin C levels in mice (both sexes), while an increase in vitamin C levels was observed in black masheri diet fed hamsters. A depletion in liver vitamin A was observed in hamsters fed both the types of masheri. Such an effect was observed only in black masheri diet fed Swiss mice (both sexes) and brown masheri diet fed Swiss females.en_US
