ABSTRACT

Objectives :The aim of this study was to investigate the acute toxicity and safety of fermented deer velvet antler extract in institute for cancer research(ICR) mice. Methods : To evaluate the acute toxicity and safety, fermented deer antler at the respective doses of 0(control group), 2560, 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg were given orally to 25 male ICR mice for 14 days and allocated 5 mice for each group. After a single administration of fermented deer antler extract, we observed survival rates, general toxicity and any changes in body weight. Autopsies were conducted on all 25 mice. Results : Compared with the control group, we did not find any toxic alterations in any of the treated groups. Conclusions : A single dose of 5000 mg/kg of fermented deer antler extract was found to be safe in ICR mice. However, anything beyond this level has the potential to be lethal.
