EFFECT OF BENZENE ON BLOOD PARAMETERS OF MALE MICE

Abstract

Super and ordinary benzene were used to examine the effect of benzene
on blood parameters of male mice .Three stages with five treated groups were
used. The first stage was after the end of injection period. The second stage
was after 45 days from the end of injection period. Third stage was after 90
days from the end of injection period. I.P. injection was used. The results of
this study indicate the decline of all blood parameters with more reduction in
the mice that were experimented directly after the third injection ( first stage)
.Such reduction seems to be slight in animals experimented on 45 days after
the last injection (second stage ) and little or absent in these were
experimented 90 days after the last injection (third stage ) .
