Abstract

Haematological parameters are considered as promising indicators of the physiological status of the animal.  The present study was carried out on the influence of different solvent extractions of Tribulus terrestris extract on mercuric chloride (1.2 mg/kg body weight) intoxicated mice.  An enhanced level of  aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) activities and bilirubin content were noticed in mercury intoxicated animal. The increased in the enzymatic activity may be due to the damage to the cells of liver caused by the heavy metal. But, the mercury intoxicated mice were treated with different solvent extraction of Tribulus terrestris  showed the restoration of haematological parameters.
