Effect of vitamin b6 to relif copper sulfate toxicity on some phyisological and histological parameters of female rabbits

Abstract EN

The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of vitamin B6 in the improvement of the copper sulfate toxicity on some hematological parameters, biochemical parameters and histopathological changes in some internal organs of female rabbits.

Eighteen female rabbits were divided to three groups (6 rabbit for each group).

The first group treated with normal saline orally daily for10 days (control), the second group treated with 6mg / kg live weight copper sulfate orally, and third group treated with 6mg / kg live weight copper sulfate orally and7mg / kg live weight vitamin B6 intramuscular injection daily for10 days.
