Abstract :
Amaranth is a colorant widely used in food
products, drugs and cosmetics.Swiss albino-mice (Mus
musculus) of age Mice are 6-8weeks old. The current
study evaluates toxic effects of both (1200 mg /kg body
weight) and high dose (2400mg/kg body weight) of
Amaranth ongeneral health and biochemistry( Glucose,
cholesterol, total protein) of Swiss albino mice exposed
for 7,14,21,28 days throughamaranth were dissolved in
ddH2O and administered through oral gavage.
Body weight showed that this change was positive
for Group IIa while negative for Group IIb. It was also
evident that substantial depreciation of body weight
began early in amaranth exposed mice
