Abstract

This study is concerned by the determination of the toxicity of an Olea europaea L.aqueous leaf extract after repeated administrations. Female and male rats were given 37.5, 75, 150, 300, 600 and 1200 mg/Kg/24h of the extract for 60 days. The results show that the drug studied induces an increase of weight growth, an hypotension, an hypoglycaemia and an hypouricaemia in treated animals.
