Rambut jagung untuk peluruh air seni, penurun tekanan darah tinggi, dan penurun kadar kolesterol belum diketahui keamanan penggunaannya, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai keamanannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keamanan penggunaan ekstrak air rambut jagung yang ditinjau dari nilai LD50 dan pengaruhnya terhadap fungsi hati dilihat dari dari aktivitas alanin aminotransferase (ALT) dan alkali fosfatase (ALP) plasma serta fungsi ginjal dilihat dari kadar urea dan kreatinin plasma. Hewan uji berupa mencit jantan dan betina galur DDY, sebanyak 50 ekor yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok. Kelompok 1, 2, 3, dan 4 diberi ekstrak air rambut jagung dengan dosis berturut¬turut 3,84; 7,68; 15,36; 30,72 g/kg bb, sedangkan kelompok 5 diberi larutan CMC 0,5%. Nilai LD50 ditentukan dengan menghitung jumlah hewan yang mati selama 24 jam setelah pemberian ekstrak. Pengukuran fungsi hati dan ginjal dilakukan pada 24 jam dan 14 hari setelah perlakuan. Penilaian fungsi hati ditinjau dari aktivitas ALT dan ALP menggunakan metode kolorimetri, penilaian fungsi ginjal ditinjau dari kadar urea menggunakan metode Fearon dan kadar kreatinin menggunakan metode Jaffe yang dimodifikasi. Hasilnya menunjukkan pemberian ekstrak air rambut jagung sampai dosis tertinggi 30,72 gram ekstrak/kg bb tidak menimbulkan kematian dan tidak mempengaruhi fungsi hati dan ginjal mencit.

ABSTRACT
Corn silk for diuretic, antihypertension, and antihyperlipidemia is unknown its safety of use, so that research was needed to find out its safety of use. This study was intended to find out the safety of use of aqueous extract of corn silk reviewed from LD50 and its effect on liver function in terms of alanin aminotransferase (ALT) and alkali phosphatase (ALP) activity and renal function in terms of urea and creatinine level. Fifty DDY male and female mice were used and divided into 5 groups. First to fourth groups were given the aqueous extract of corn silk with dose respectively 3.84; 7.68; 15.36; 30.72 g/kg bw, while fifth group was given 0.5% of CMC solution. LD50 value was determined by calculating dead mice for 24 hours of administration of extract. Measurements of liver and renal function were carried out in 24 hours and 14 days after treatment. Assessment of liver function in terms of ALT and ALP was using colorimetry method, assessment of renal function in terms of urea level was using Fearon method and creatinine level was using modified Jaffe method. Results showed that administration of aqueous extract of corn silk until dose of 30.72 g/kg bw did not cause death and did not affect liver and renal function of mice.

This first comprehensive treatment of the subject for more than a decade includes the latest research on nanoparticle toxicology. The practical handbook addresses all areas where toxic mixtures are encountered, from environmental via occupational to medical settings, giving special consideration to air and water, and to the specific requirements for study design in mixture toxicology. While no extensive prior knowledge or toxicological experience is required, the practice-oriented case studies and examples in the second part make this the ideal companion for the professional toxicologist in industry or healthcare institutions with little time for academic study.

This book aims to fill the gap that exists between theoretical treatments of chromatography, and clinical chemistry and toxicology texts, which focus almost exclusively on clinical relevance and applications. Chromatography has a vast array of clinical applications, and though the chromatographic methods were first introduced decades ago, new applications of this technology are being used to explore previously inaccessible frontiers in clinical diagnostics and toxicological testing.

Forensic professionals, often working through heavy caseloads, require quick and easy access to reliable sources of information to help interpret toxicology results. While several in-depth resources are available, they are often large, cumbersome, and contain more information than is needed. The Handbook of Forensic Toxicology for Medical Examiners is a concise handbook referencing the most common toxic substances and their levels of toxicity, making it an ideal text for quick confirmation in the field or in the lab." "The book begins by explaining the proper selection and submission of specimens for toxicological analysis. It describes the various types of specimens and identifies the cases for which these specimens would be most useful, providing instruction on proper collection. The author then explains the methodology involved in performing the specific tests." "The main section of the text consists of an alphabetical listing of nearly 300 toxic substances, including drugs of -- abuse, poisons, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medications. For each entry, the book provides the common brand names; classification; half life; volume of distribution; usual dosage; tables of toxicity in various samples, including blood, urine, and tissues; and other important information based on the extensive experience of the author. The text is heavily referenced with materials that are useful for preparation of courtroom testimony, and it contains supplemental appendices with information on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, drugs that prolong the QT interval, pharmacogenetics, normal laboratory values, and conversion charts." "The busy forensic professional needs a concise handbook that provides critical information quickly without the need to wade through extraneous and inconsequential material. This volume offers an easy-to-use format that allows quick access to the most pertinent information, saving time and increasing accuracy." --Book Jacket.

In Quantitative Modeling in Toxicology leading experts outline the current state of knowledge on the modeling of dose, tissue interactions and tissue responses. Each chapter describes the mathematical foundation, parameter estimation, challenges and perspectives for development, along with the presentation of a modeling template. Additionally, tools and approaches for conducting uncertainty, sensitivity and variability analyses in these models are described.
