Abstract
The study was to determine possible pathological changes induced by the consumption of C. icaco and possible health implication. Animal feed tests were carried out using varying amounts of the seed mixed with usual mice meals. The result revealed weight loss, and increase in total bilirubin, protein, albumin, globin, cholesterol level, alkaline phosphate and mean serum glutamic – oxaloacetate transaminase and serum glutamic – pyruvic transaminase activities. Possible health implications are discussed.. Keywords : Chrysobalanus icaco , cholesterol level, alkaline phosphate activity, serum glutamic – oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamic – pyruvic transaminase, health implication Nigerian Journal of Health and Biomedical Science Vol. 6 (1) 2007: pp. 35-37
