Abstract

Fatal poisoning is widespread upon human exposure to toxic agents such as pesticides, heavy metals and environmental pollutants. In this regards, the application of the natural dietary agents as antidotes has engrossed a substantial attention.

The current study was implemented to demonstrate the protective and nutritional impact of rosemary leaves extract (1% w/w) in experimental rats fed on maize cake containing ethion bound residues (1.6 ppm). Feeding animals with treated cake containing ethion bound residues caused elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase activities (P
