Total protein and albumin concentrations were significantly decreased(Pless than 0.05)in the nitrated treated groupcompared to control and other treated groups (Table 2).The activity of AST ALT as well as cholesterol and glucose concentrations were significantly increased (Pless than 0.05) in the nitrate treatment group compared to a control and other treated groups (table 2).
These results might be due to the decrease number of RBC or due to the conversion of nitrate to nitrite ions which can convert ferrous ions of hemoglobin into ferric form (methaemoglobin) resulting in tissue anoxia which may be responsible for renal and hepatic damage[16].Total protein and albumin concentrations were significantly decreased in the nitrated treated group.
