The present study was aimed to investigate the possible biochemical and histopathological effects of benzene on the liver and kidney of male albino rat. Hepatic and renal indices such as alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase, as well as creatinine, urea and uric acid were used as markers of study. Biochemical estimation of hepatic enzymes and renal indices were significantly increased compared to control and confirmed the histopathological results which showed both hepatic and renal damage. It b concluded that the ingestion of benzene-contaminated food showed a deleterious effect the liver and kidney at the employed doses and for the use period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
