Abstract

This work evaluated the effects of the consumption of a plant-based beverage (Cyperus esculentus L., Adansonia digitata L., and thermal water) on the physiological parameters of mice over a 28-day period. Thirty-two female FVB/n mice (n = 8) were randomly assigned to one of four groups divided into two experimental protocols: Group 1 drank water and Group 2 drank a plant-based beverage for 24 h; in the second experimental protocol, Group 3 consumed water and Group 4 consumed plant-based beverage for a limited time (4 h). Two experimental protocols were conducted to assess whether the exposure time to the beverage affects the animals' physiological parameters, to determine if there is a possible daily limit for consumption of the product and to analyze their adverse effects. The mice consuming a beverage ingested a larger amount of drink and a smaller amount of food. Histologically there are no pathological changes in collected organs. The consumption of a plant-based beverage has been shown to have a positive effect on oxidative markers and can have a diuretic action. According to results, no behavioral changes or clinical signs of disease were observed throughout both experimental protocols, and no mortality was recorded.

香附植物饮料对 FVB/n 雌性小鼠的影响

本研究评估了在 28 天内饮用植物饮料（香附、猴面包树和温泉水）对小鼠生理参数的影响。32只雌性FVB/n小鼠（n = 8）被随机分配到四个组中的一组，分为两个实验方案：第一组喝水，第二组喝植物饮料，持续 24 小时；在第二个实验方案中，第三组喝水，第四组在有限的时间内（4 小时）喝植物饮料。进行两个实验方案的目的是评估接触饮料的时间是否会影响动物的生理参数，确定每天饮用该产品是否有可能的限制，并分析其不良影响。饮用饮料的小鼠摄入了较多的饮料和较少的食物。从组织学角度看，采集的器官没有发生病理变化。研究表明，饮用植物饮料对氧化指标有积极影响，并有利尿作用。结果表明，在两个实验方案中都没有观察到行为变化或疾病的临床症状，也没有死亡记录。

期刊介绍： Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs. The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following: -Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances -New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology -Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena -Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability. Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
