Effect of omeprazole on liver functions of laboratory rat (albino) Rattus norvegicus
Abstract
First, the aim of this work was to determine and estimate the effect of Omeprazole drug on liver function in the laboratory rat (Albino) Rattus norvegicus by measuring the concentration of alanin aminotransferase (GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (GOT) enzymes, (18) animals aged (6) weeks and weight of (40-60) g were selected randomly from the animal house of our work place,They were divided into three groups: the first one was administrated (20) mg/kg of drug, second group was given (40) mg/kg and the third group was the control (non treated).The statistical analysis used in this study is the variance analysis test (ANOVA) at (p˂ 0.05) level. After giving medication to animals regularly for three consecutive months without interruption,GPT and GOT enzymes tests were measured and the following results were obtained:Significant increase was observed in the concentration of the GPT enzyme for the second group (40) mg/kg at p˂ 0.05 (43.1167)I u/lcompared with the control group (26.4350) I u/l, while there was no significant difference between the first group (20) mg/kg and the control. As for the GPT test; a significant increase was observed for both dosage groups (20) & (40) mg/kg respectively at p˂ 0.05 (116.7417) (68.9050) I u/l compared with control group (63.5083) I u/l. From the above results it can be confirmed that the long-term use of Omeprazole leads to an imbalance in liver enzymes and this will damage its functions thus this damage will be transmitted to all organs of the body.
