Abstract

Six groups of five albino rats per group were fed adlibitum with rat diet contaminated with petroleum at concentrations of 3.88, 7.75, 15.51, 31.01, 62.02g/kg and the last group fed only rat diet as control. Another six groups of five albino rats were fed adlibitum with rat diet contaminated with petroleum at the same concentrations mixed with 20% sugar (Granulated) with the last group fed only rat diet as control to determine glucose effect of sugar on petroleum induced toxicity. The hepatic enzymes aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALK PHOS) activities with albumin, Total protein and liver /body weight were monitored in the animals. There was dose dependent decrease in enzymes activities (ALT, AST, GGT
