The present study was conducted on 40 male albino rats to study the effect of combined oral administration of three natural antioxidants [vitamin E, A and C] on different parameters during one month oral lead intoxication. The animals were divided into four groups: Group one and two were considered as controls as they received sodium acetate 400 mg/kg/day in group one or sodium acetate plus 2% gum acacia + 1 ml distilled water in group two, group three received lead acetate and group four received lead acetate plus a combination of the three vitamins. It was observed that administration of the combination of the three vitamins significantly improved the toxic manifestations of lead in group three
