Clinically normal eighteen domestic shorthair cats were orally dosed with 0, 1.5, 2.5 g wet weight of homogenate lily flower petals per kg body weight by a nasogastric tube in the study (n=3/sex/dose level). Blood and urine samples were collected before and after dosing. The cats of all treated groups presented anorexia, vomiting, lethargy and depression within 0.5 h after dosing. Serum levels of Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Glutamyl transferase (GGT), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatinine (CREA), Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Creatine kinase (CK) were increased in all treated groups in a dose-dependent manner.
