- Abstract
Experiments were performed on albino male Wistar rats that were treated with three Herbal extracts of Epilobium hirsutum, Epilobium angustifolium and Epilobium parviflorum (Onagraceae), with a rich content in flavonoids. We investigated the possible cytotoxic effects of the hydro-alcoholic extracts on some metabolic - endocrine - immunologic organs (brain, hypophysis, adrenals, liver, kidney, thymus and spleen) with biochemical, histological and histoenzymological methods. There were no cytotoxic effect. Epilobium hirsutum, which has the best content in flavonoids, has had the most favorable effects.
