Toxicological Evaluation of Biodiesel Emission Particles (BEP) Using Rat Models
Abstract The present study is an attempt to elucidate the effect of biodiesel emission particles (BEP) on some antioxidant enzymes of selected tissues of rats. Rats were exposed to emission particles (EP) of biodiesel blended with fuel diesel at 100BD, 75BD, 50BD and 25BD as well as fuel diesel (FD) over a period of ten days. Enzyme assays were conducted for superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the liver, lungs, ...
