Can someone help me make sense of a study I found?

I'm talking about this study here:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0088617
In the study the most effective dose used for mice was 0.1 mg/kg, which using the HED come out to be 0.008 mg/kg in humans, which then come out to be around 0.5 mg for an average human of weight, 70kg. This doesn't seem right, unless the extract specified in the study is something like 100x. And ideas?

His HED calculation used the average BSA (body surface area), as described here: http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/58082-how-to-convert-dose-from-animal-to-human/
Do you have a reference to where you got the multiplier you used from? Thanks! :)
