Abstract

The present work investigate the effect of different levels of herbicide Machete
(1/4 L050, 1/2 L050 and L050) on body weight and liver & kidney weight as well as
total lipid, cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids in serum, liver and kidney of
albino rats.
In serum and liver, most of the tested parameters were significantly decreased
except phospholipid in liver with L050 treatment. In kidney, most of the parameters
were decreased significantly except for the total lipids with L050, triglycerides with 1/4
L050 and L050 and phospholipids with 1/4 L050 and 1/2 L050 oral administration of
Machete herbicide. Also, a significant decrease recorded in body weight and
significant increase in liver and kidney weights
