Subacute Oral Toxicity of Allyl Isothiocyanate in the Rat

Allyl isothiocyanate (AIT) is a naturally occurring compound in some spices of the Cruciferae family. This study was undertaken to investigate the subacute toxicity. AIT was given in oral doses of 0, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg (5 days/week) to male rats for up to 6 weeks.
