Dose Calculation: 1) Preparation of 1% V/V Tween 80 in Saline: (For 150 ML)

The document describes procedures for preparing different solutions for dose calculations and toxicity testing. It provides steps to calculate doses of diazepam, plant extract, and acetic acid based on average body weight of test subjects. It also outlines a serial dilution process, where a plant extract dissolved in DMSO is sequentially diluted by half in saline and administered to shrimp to achieve concentrations from 800 to 0.7813 μg/ml.

Dose calculation

1) Preparation of 1% v/v Tween 80 in saline: (for 150 mL) 100 mL saline contains 1 mL Tween 80 150 mL saline contains Tween 80 = 1.5 mL Tween 80 So, 1.5 mL Tween 80 takes in a volumetric flask and volume adjust to 150 mL with saline.

2) Preparation of positive control:

Dose: Diazepam 1mg/kg average body weight Let average body weight = 25 g = (25 1000) mg =25000 mg So, for (1000 1000) mg body weight requires 1 mg 25000 mg body mg body weight requires = 0.025 mg mg

0.5 mL contains 0.025 mg Diazepam 10 mL contains mg Diazepam

= 0.5 mg Diazepam = 0.0005 g Diazepam So, 0.0005 g Diazepam takes in a test tube and volume adjust to 10 mL with saline.

3) Preparation of plant extract preparation:

A) Dose: 400 mg/ kg average body weight Let average body weight = 25 g = (25 1000) mg =25000 mg So, for (1000 1000) mg body weight requires 400 mg

25000 mg body mg body weight requires = 10 mg

mg

0.5 mL contains 10 mg plant extract 5 mL contains mg plant extract

= 100 mg plant extract = 0.1 g plant extract So, 0.1 g plant extract takes in a test tube and volume adjust to 5 mL with saline.

B) Dose: 200 mg/ kg average body weight Let average body weight = 25 g = (25 1000) mg =25000 mg So, for (1000 1000) mg body weight requires 200 mg 25000 mg body mg body weight requires = 5 mg mg

0.5 mL contains 5 mg plant extract 5 mL contains mg plant extract = 50 mg plant extract = 0.05 g plant extract So, 0.05 g plant extract takes in a test tube and volume adjust to 5 mL with saline.

4) Calculation for acetic acid: (0.1 mL/ 10g) Let average body weight = 25 g So, for 10 g body weight requires 0.1 mL acetic acid 25 g body mg body weight requires mL acetic acid = 0.25 mL acetic acid

Serial dilution
0.004 g plant extract dissolves in 200 l of DMSO

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 800 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 400 g/ml)

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 400 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 200 g/ml)

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 200 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 100 g/ml)

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 100 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 50 g/ml)

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 50 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 25 g/ml)

Volume adjust to 5 ml by saline (Concentration 25 g/ml)

2.5 ml solution + 2.5 ml saline + shrimp (Concentration 12.5 g/ml)

(Up to 0.7813 5 g/ml)
