Effect of lead acetate on some biochemical factors in blood of rats

Lead is the one of the most ubiquitous biochemical parameters heavy metals and has been detected in virtually all areas of the environments [air, water, and soil] and in biological systems. Lead in the environment occurs both naturally and as a consequence of human activities. The experiments investigated the effect of lead acetate on some blood serum factors in rats. Twenty rates divided to two equal groups of 10 rats, the control and treated group, the control and treated group. The control group drenched drinking Water Without lead acetate, while treated group drenched drinking Water with 300 ppm lead acetate for 45 days. At the end of study blood obtained through heart puncher and tested for effects on biochemical parameters. Total serum protein, albumin, serum globulin, cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase had been estimated. The treatment of Rates with lead acetate cause low levels of blood protein levels, albumin and increase level in globins' concentrations and cholesterol. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme linked with liver function also undergoes increased levels. It can be concluded that the exposure to lead acetate can affect different body organs systems and physiological processes.
