Yucca schidigera juice in doses of 1.5 g (63 mg sapogenin) and 3.0 g (126 mg sapogenin) per kg live weight was administered intraruminally to 30 lambs for 21 days to investigate whether the saponins in Y. schidigera were toxic to lambs and whether they could cause hepatogenous photosensitisation.
The present study was conducted to explore the toxic effects of lead (Pb) on the physiological responses of Japanese quails and to investigate the potential modulatory role of Yucca schidigera extract (YSE) against these effects. 360 mature Japanese quails (at 2 months of age) were used and the
