The study investigated, comparatively the effects of plant extracts such as, garlic, ginger and onion on some organs (liver, kidney and heart), x-ray exposed rats, using and assaying for some biochemical enzymes. Twenty albino rats with average weight of (155.00 ± 2.01g), divided into five groups were used for the study. The rats with exception of the control were exposed to x-ray with ionizing radiation at a rate of 525kv/sec. The results indicated, some toxicity conferred on the rats were reversed when fed diet containing garlic, ginger and onion, evidently shown in some of the biochemical parameters examined that includes: body weight gain, plasma and femur alanine aminotransferase (ALP) activity; enzymatic changes in super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) level in the liver, kidney and heart. Feeding ginger, garlic and onions extracts failed to restore the x-ray induced inhibition of aldenylate oxidase (AO) and sulphite oxidase (SO) activities in the liver and heart. Data of...
