[Studies on toxicity and fertility of escin in the rat (author's transl)].
The DL50 of escin was determined after i.p. application. Juvenile male rats were treated with 2X5 mg/kg escin at age 32 days. After they had reached fertility, kidneys, testes and sperm were examined. The high dose of escin used did not affect fertility and a nephrotoxic activity could not be detected either.
