The experiment is to study the toxicity of five varieties of Lantana camara L in rabbits. Twenty four male rabbits were used inthis study. They were divided into 6 groups (A,B,C,D,E,F) of 4 animals each at random. Animals in groups A,B,C,D, and E were given lantana leaf powder (6 g/kg body weight) of the red, pink, dark yellow, bright yellow, and white varieties of lantana respectively. The treatment were given as a single dose (for about 24 hours) and after dosing the animals were fed normal diet (drinking water ad lib). Animals in group F wwere fed normal diet as control. The results showed that all animals fed lantana leaf of the red variety and 3 out of 4 animals fed lantana leaf of the pink variety became icteric 24 hours after treatment, and almost all the rest of animals fed lantana of the dark yellow, bright yellow and white varieties became icteric at 48 hours. The animals fed lantana leaf (especially red and pink varieties) had elevated the levels of bilirubin in the plasma (p less than 0,05). Plasma acid phosphatase activity and plasma glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) activity in animals fed lantana leaf (especially red and pink varities) were also significantly increased (P less than 0,05).  aARTVET24
