Embriotoxic effects of Picrosia longifolia Don (ASTERACEAE)

The toxic effects of aquous extract of Picrosia longifolia Don “achicoria” on preimplantational mouse embryo development were evaluated. Aquous extract of P. longifolia to 20%, 10% and 0% (control group) was supplied to pregnant mice to 86 hours post-copula (hpc). When embryonic stage was evaluated, we found that aquous extract of P. longifolia to 10% and 20% causes delay in embryo development. Also the embryonic viability declined in treated groups with achicoria.
