Protective effect of onion oil, propyl thiol and cysteine against changes of serum protein and enzyme activity induced by lead poisoning

ABSTRACT

The effect of lead poisoning on alternation of protein fractions and transaminase enzymes activity in serum of male albino rats were studied. Results obtained revealed that levels of serum albumin and globulin and consequently total protein were affected due to lead toxicity. Also, serum transaminases [S-GOT and S-GPT] activity units were decreased significantly due to lead toxicity. While this decrease showed that onion oil and cysteine amino acid behaved as increasing factors to rise the activity of these enzymes
