EFFECT OF PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA L. (AMLA) ON HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN LEAD ACETATE INDUCED TOXICITY IN WISTAR RATS S.A. Jaiswal1, M.I. Qureshi2 ABSTRACT The ancient Indian texts on ayurveda has extolled the therapeutic properties of the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Amla). However, there is no reference on its efficacy in heavy metal intoxication. The present study illustrates the effect of the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Amla) on the haematological and biochemical parameters in lead acetate induced changes in Wistar rats. For this experiment, thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups of ten each. The rats in group I were fed on balanced diet of rat pellet (control). The rats in Group II were given lead acetate @ 1000 mg/kg feed/ day mixed with the basic diet. The rats in Group III were given pulverized fruit of Phyllanthus emblica L. mixed with the basic rat feed at the concentration of 50 g/kg (w/w) along with lead acetate @ 1000 mg/kg feed daily. The treatments were continued for sixty consecutive days. The analysis of haematological (Haemoglobin concentration and Total Erythrocyte Count) and biochemical (Blood Urea Nitrogen, Serum aspartate transaminase and Serum alanine transaminase) parameters reflected that Phyllanthus emblica L. protected the haematic, renal and hepatic systems of Wistar rats from lead toxicity.
