The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of cold aqueous extract of wheatgrass on the histological structures of the liver in male albino rats as it was taken orally with the extract in three doses (100, 150, 200 mg / kg) (Body Weight) for 30 days, wheatgrass is rich in Vitamin C, Selenium, Phosphorous, Iron, Potassium, Sulfur, Sodium, Cobalt, Zinc, and others. In addition, wheatgrass contains phenols, flavonoids, and tocopherols, which act as antioxidants. After the experiment period ended, the animals were anesthetized, dissected and liver samples were taken, and they were fixed in formalin at a concentration of 10%. The slides were prepared and the results showed that the live tissue of mice treated with aqueous extract of wheatgrass at a concentration of (100.150.200 mg / kg / body weight) for a period of (30) days did not suffer from any change in the histological composition compared to the control group, and the study indicated that eating wheatgrass Important because they contain effective compounds that help the immune system to suppress free radicals that may be generated in the body as a result of consuming a lot of food additives. Therefore, the cold aqueous extract of wheatgrass can be considered safe to handle and does not damage body tissues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
