GONZALES-LLONTOP, Luis et al. Antitoxic effect of Aloe vera L. against piroxicam in Allium cepa L. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.22, pp.164-175.  Epub Jan 20, 2024. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v8i22.256.

The present research evaluated the antitoxic effect of Aloe vera L. against piroxicam in Allium cepa L. under a completely randomized experimental design. One control group and three experimental groups were formed. The toxicological effect of 1% piroxicam was measured through the Mitotic Registry (M.R.). Problem Group 1 showed the highest M.R. value (12.5±0.37%) when roots were immersed in A. vera L. Problem Group 2 presented the lowest value (7.6±0.24%) when roots were exposed to piroxicam. In Problem Group 3, where roots were exposed to both piroxicam and A. vera L., the M.R. value (9.4±0.19%) was not significantly different from the control group (p>0.05). Aloe vero L. demonstrated an antitoxic effect against the exposure of Allium cepa L. roots to 1% piroxicam.
