Toxicity of chloroform administered to rats at a sublethal dose

ABSTRACT

This study was undertaken to determine some physiological, haematological and biochemical toxic effects of chlorofom in an animal model. Chloroform administered at a sublethal dose resulted in recognizable disturbances in serum alanine aminotransferase and lactic dehydrogenase activities, blood glucose and cholesterol levels, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit value, erythrocyte count as well as Ca[2]+ and Fe[2]+ concentrations in whole blood and liver
