The effect of locally manufacture pots on levels of alp &ldh enzymes

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of some toxic elements released from locally made cooking pots made of soft drink cans (i.e. Pepsi cans=Tins=) and Atmonia pots on ALP & LDH. Ninety rats (average body weight 160 -220 gms) were divided into three groups (30 male per group) as follow: Group one (G1) represented control (without treatment), Group two (G2) and Group three (G3) received (Atmonia, Pepsi can) fed into 3gms/day of cooked food using feeding sucker plastic bottle for three months, we sacrificed 10 rats from each group monthly to estimate the level of ALP & LDH enzymes .The results showed that some heavy metals had led to a significant increase (P< 0.01) in ALP and LDH levels.
