EFFECT OF ASCORBIC ACID AGAINST LEAD (Pb) TOXICITY
AbstractPresent study deals with effect of Vit. C against lead toxicity animals were divided into three groups of six rats each. One group of served as control which received only vehicle, second group was given lead acetate at a dose level of 0.3mg/ml for 7, 14 days chronically and third group received Vit. C (0.15mg/100ml) along with lead acetate and result were analyzed for hematological parameter i.e. RBC, WBC count and haemoglobin. It was noticed that hematological parameters were reduced due to lead acetate-treatment but when Vit. C was given along with lead the values tend to be normal at 14 days which suggest that Vit. C is a good antioxidant is overcome lead toxicity.
