The Curative Effect of Olive Oil and Ephedra Extract on Some Biochemical and Haematological Parameters of Domestic Male Rabbits After Administration of Nitrosamine

Abstract

Abstract:The aim of this study was to determine the level of toxicity of nitrosamine on some biochemical and hematological parameters and the curative effect of olive oil and ephedra extract on domestic 24 male rabbits divided into four groups, each with different doses which were applied for 33 days. In the present study, olive oil and ephedra administration with nitrosamine reduced its induced harm in a significant way. These finding suggest that olive oil, effectively, reduces nitrosamine-induced toxicity more than ephedra, and generally, their use concomitantly with nitrosamine have an extremely beneficial role in overcoming the adverse effects occurring due to chronic ingestion of nitrosamines.
