The Faculty of Education for Pure Sciences at Kerbala University has discussed the M. A. thesis entitled (A Study of the Protective Role of Raspberry Plant Extract on some Blood and Tissue Changes of the Kidney in Rats treated with sodium fluoride). It has been fulfilled online on the Zoom application so as to communicate with a member of the committee.
The thesis, submitted by the student Shatha Jalal Aziz Al-Mousawi, aims at explaining the protective role of raspberry in suppressing the toxic effects of sodium fluoride on the standards in the concentration of blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, urea, creatinine), anti-oxidant criteria in the blood, which include (CAT, SOD ). And the concentration of total blood proteins (Total protein, Albumin, Globulin). The histological structure of the Kidney.
