The conclusion is that even if this cyanobacterium has been one of the most extensively studied from the chemical, pharmacological and toxicological points of view, it is still necessary to expand the research in order to have more consistent data for its possible use in human beings.

In animal experiments for acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity, reproduction, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity the algae did not cause body or organ toxicity, and the Spirulina administered to the animals were at much higher amounts than those expected for human consumption.

A series of α‐asarone analogues related to clofibrate, containing an acetic acid group at C‐2 of the aromatic ring, has been prepared as the acids or as the ethyl and methyl esters, which were examined in hyperlipidaemic male mice to evaluate their ability to modify serum lipop protein cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, high‐density cholesterol and triglycerides after oral administration.

The data suggest that test animals were probably under significant stress induced by the Sioassay test system and the effects of TBT on juvenile mussel growth may have been overestimated in this and other studies.
