Ethanol Extract of Fructus Schisandrae Decreases Hepatic Triglyceride Level in Mice Fed with a High Fat/Cholesterol Diet, with Attention to Acute Toxicity

Table 1

Acute toxicity of EtFSC in mice.

Dose (g/kg)	Number of animal	Mortality rate (%)
19.6	10	10
28.0	10	30
40.0	10	40
57.0	10	100

Mice were divided into four groups of 10 animals in each and orally administered with EtFSC at doses of 19.6–57 g/kg. The mortality rate in each group was determined within 24-h post-dosing. LD₅₀ value (35.63 ± 6.46 g/kg) was estimated by Bliss method.
