AIMS: The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of Emblica officinalis against fluoride-induced alterations in the behavioral and biochemical abnormalities in rats.
DESIGN: The healthy adult albino rats of Wistar strain (Rattus norvegicus) weighed 200-250 g were used for experiments. The animals were divided into three groups. Group I, control rats received only drinking water (F 0.9 ppm). Group II rats were exposed to fluoride (10 ppm) water for 60 days. Group III rats were
Highlights
Rats were exposed during 6 weeks to repeated i.p. injections of lead acetate, sodium fluoride or both in doses 0.05 LD50.
The development of intoxication was estimated quantitatively with 54 functional, biochemical and morphometric indices.
For mathematical description of effects a response surface regression model containing linear and cross terms was used.
10 types of combined action were found thus confirming the result of the similar study on Pb and Cd.
