Abstract

 

Garlic, renowned as a medicinal herb, possesses the capability to diminish the impact of lead, which is a hazardous heavy metal, on both health and the structure of organs. The main aim of this study was to assess the protective effects of Ly Son garlic juice against lead toxicity in mice by evaluating hematological and structural parameters of their liver, kidney, and spleen. Forty eight male mice were randomly divided into five groups: control (DC), lead (Pb), nitrate (N), garlic (T500), and lead combined with Ly Son garlic juice at a dose of 250 mg/kg/bw (PbT250) and 500 mg/kg/bw (PbT500), for eight weeks. The results showed that Ly Son garlic juice (250 mg/kg body weight) initially maintained stable hematological parameters (red blood cells, platelets, and hematocrit) and histological structure of liver and kidney under the influence of lead. However, this effect has not been demonstrated in the white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, and histological structure of the spleen. To conduct a comprehensive assessment of the protective efficacy of Ly Son garlic juice against lead toxicity, it is essential for the study to include biochemical evaluations of mouse blood and extend the duration of the study.
