Detrimental effects of chronic arsenic exposure through daily diet on hepatic and renal health: An animal model study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bangladesh is heavily impacted by arsenic contamination; however, in-depth research regarding the consequences of arsenic exposure through contaminated food remains in its nascent stage.

Objectives

Our study aimed to examine the effects of consuming arsenic-contaminated rice and vegetables on Wistar albino rats.

Methodology

A total of 30 Wistar albino rats were divided into control and experimental groups, receiving diets containing arsenic-contaminated rice and vegetable for 120 days. Arsenic levels in food samples were quantified using FI-HG-AAS. Hematological, biochemical, and histopathological analyses were conducted to assess hepatic and renal toxicity. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, ANOVA, DMART with significance set at p < 0.05
