Abstract Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous environmental and industrial pollutant with worldwide health problems. The present study was designed to investigate the neuronal and reproductive toxicity of Pb in albino rats and to evaluate the ameliorative role of garlic as well as Spirulina maxima against such toxic effects. Forty adult male rats were used in this study (10 rats/group). group I: served as control, group II: rats received lead acetate (100 mg/kg), group III: rats received both lead acetate (100 mg/kg) and garlic (600 mg/kg) and group IV: rats received both lead acetate (100 mg/kg) and spirulina (500 mg/kg) daily by oral gavage for one month |
