Toxicity evaluation of medicinal plants is useful to know their safety profile. Male infertility arising from administration of drugs of plant origin is a major health concern. In the management of chronic health issues, the adverse effects of these agents are often down-played in favour of the beneficial medicinal values. This encourages repeated administration or consumption of part or whole plant products. Viscum album (mistletoe) is a popular medicinal plants used in the treatment of various chronic diseases. However, there is paucity of research on the effect of mistletoe from different host plants on male fertility. The study investigated the effects of aqueous extracts of Viscum album obtained from three host plants (Cocoa, Kola and Coffee) on semen parameters of Wistar rats. Animals were divided into four groups Control, Cocoa, Kola and Coffee respectively. Group 1 served as control (received distilled water, 10 ml/kg), groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 had four sub-groups each. Each sub-group received 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 mg/kg doses of extract respectively daily for 24 days. Five animals were allotted to each group (control) and sub-group (extracts). Administration of 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 mg/kg doses of extract of Viscum album obtained from three host plants (Cocoa, Kola and Coffee) caused dose-dependent significant (P<0.05, 0.01) decrease in semen quality (count, motility, morphology, concentration and viability) respectively. However, semen volume was not significantly altered (P>0.05). The results suggest that Viscum album obtained from the three host plants adversely affected sperm parameters in male wistar rats. Thus, people who consume the plant extracts should be careful and medical practitioners who prescribe Viscum album in the management of chronic diseases should be cautious.

Antianemc potential of aqueous of Justicia galeopsis leaves was studied using Wistar Albino rats after induction of anemia by phenylhydrazine hydrochloride. Forty rats (20 male and 20 female) subdivided into five groups of eight rats were used. There was a group as control (not anemic) and four other anemic groups which had received by gavage respectively 1 ml/kg of distilled water, 1 ml/kg of body weight of Vitafer (reference drug commonly used to treat anemia), 100 mg/kg of body weight of extract of J. galeopsis leaves cooked during 30 min and 30 mg/kg of body weight of extract of J. galeopsis leaves cooked during 45 min. Hematological parameters (red blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit) were analyzed as indices of anemia and the weights of specific organs (liver, spleen and kidney) were evaluated. The results of this investigation had showed that aqueous extract of J. galeopsis leaves cooked improved red blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. These extracts were not toxic for liver, spleen and kidney. The administration of 100 mg/kg/day of extract of leaves cooked leaves during 30 min promotes a better recovery rate of the number of red blood cells (94.80 %), hemoglobin level (159.53 %) and hematocrit (117.72 %) than Vitafer and the extract of leaves cooked for 45 min. This is suggestive that aqueous extracts of Justicia galeopsis leaves cooked during 30 min may be exploited during 2 weeks in the treatment of anemia.
