Protective Effect of Wheat and Barley Grass Against the Acute Toxicological Effects of the Concurrent Administration of Excessive Heavy Metals in Drinking Water on the Rats Liver and Brain

Heavy metal contaminated water is a great concern because of its high toxiciy, non-biodegradability, and bioaccumulation. Therefore, non-contaminated fundamental for healthy life. Special attention paid to the health-promoting ingredients germinated whole cereal products. This study aimed (1) examine potentially harmful effects Cu, Mn, Zn on rat livers brains, (2) protective action wheat barley grasses against expected these metals. The rats were treated with by heavy metals (HMs) 60 days. liver functions histopathological examinations analyzed. Comet assay was evaluated assess damage in DNA brains. results indicated significant alteration exposed HMs; however, at doses decreased effects. An insignificant difference noticed total protein, albumin, globulin HMs compared control. A increase serum levels recorded; they reduced grasses. Rat exhibited severe histological groups showed normal architecture. brains observed HMs, which when Thus, using seeds promising avoid damaging HMs.
