Abstract

Chromium has been recognized as an environmental pollutant for several years. In the present study, attempts have been made to investigate the biochemical alterations resulted from Cr­induced toxicity on liver. Also, histopathological changes in liver. In addition, histochemical alterations in for different types of carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids were studied. Vitamin E was used as a potent antioxidant against Cr­induced liver toxicity: The present study established that hexavalent chromium in the form of K2Cr2O7 is a toxic heavy metal particularly for liver as confirmed biochemically, histopathologically and histochemically. Also, vit E was found to have an ameliorative effect against K2Cr2O7­induced toxicity owing to its antioxidant property.
