The rats in subacute toxicity received repeated doses of EJext
at 1000 mg/kg/day for 14 days. No signs of toxicity and
mortality were observed in the treated group as compared to
the control group. Table 1 shows the effects of EJ-ext on the
body weight. A significant decrease in the body weight gain
of male satellite group was detected at day 14th. For the organ
weights (Table 2), only testis’s weight of male satellite group
was evidently increased when compared to that of the control
group. Although the results showed significant differences of
the body weight gain and the testis weight, the internal organs
did not exhibit any gross morphological lesions. Therefore, the
results otained suggest that EJ-ext is fairly nontoxic
