Antioxidative Effect of Zinc on Gasoline Induced Hepatotoxicity

摘要

ABSTRACT Gasoline, an environmental pollutant has demonstrated some hepato-toxicity in excessive acute exposure. This study investigates the protective effect of zinc supplementation on the liver of gasoline poisoned rats.The rats were divided into two experimental groups and each experimental group is further subdivided in to 3 sub-groups of six rats per group. Rats in experiment 1 were exposed to varying duration of gasoline vapour alone while in experiment 2, in addition to the varying durat.
