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.
