Abstract

In vitro evaluation of lipid peroxidation activity on brain tissue of rats treated with lead, alcohol and vitamin E individually and in combination were evaluated at two, four and eight weeks of treatment . In eight weeks of treatment, maximum effect of lead and alcohol was recorded and the MDA(Malondialdehyde) value was58.74nmol/gram of brain tissue in lead, 69.74nmol/gram in alcohol and 86.68nmol/gram in lead with alcohol treated rats. In Vitamin treated rats, the MBA value was 21.32nmol/gram and 28.08nmol/gram in lead with vitamin E treated rats and in alcohol with vitamin E treated rats, the MDA value was 38.06nmol/gram of brain tissue. In combination of lead, alcohol and vitamin E, the MDA value was 39.60nmol/gram tissue
