This observation was conducted to investigated the anility of leek to prevent liver damage by free radicals formed in CCl4 intoxication. Twenty one rats were devided randomly in three groups of equal numbers. The first group, seved as a normal control group, received no treatment. The second groups was intoxicated with a single dose 0.55 mg CCl4/g body weight. The rats of the third group, after…
A study of the effect of a single dose injection of CdCl2 solution (2.5, and 3.5 mg CdCl2/kg of body weight) on fetal development and histological changes in liver and Kidney of the 7th day pregnant mice (Mus musculus L.) was conducted. Observations were made on the 18th day of pregnancy. Statistical analysis, using Kruskal-Wallis test, indicated that there were no significant differences (y=0.…
We have reported previously that injection of vitamin A could increases the blood antibody titers in rats immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Moreover, the titres remained at a high level during the period 8 weeks of observation. In the following study, we have observed the effect of oral administration of vitamin A on antibody formation in rats immunized with SRBC. A number of male Wi…
Previous report showed that vitamin A increased rats specific anti-sheep red blood cells (SRBC) antibodies titres and maintained the levels for a relatively long period. In the following study, we observed the effects of vitamin A, administered orally, on the kinetics of 7 S and 19 S classes specific antibodies in rats. Twenty males Wistar rats were divided randomly into 4 groups of equal numbe…
We have demonstrated previously the ability of leek in preventing rats liver against free radicals injuries generated by CCI4 intoxication. The liver lipid peroxide contents, which increased markedly in CCI4 intoxication, decreased to the concentration pratically identic to its normal values in rats pretreated with leek water extract and followed by CCI4 administration. This report describes th…
