The present study investigated the effect of varying concentrations of fluoride on hepatic and renal enzyme profile in domestic chicken (n=80). Chicken were distributed into 4 groups. Group A was kept unexposed while group B, C and D were exposed to 10, 20 and 30 &micro;g/g body weight of NaF respectively on weekly basis for four weeks. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine amino-transferase (ALT) and bilirubin were determined as indicators of liver function test (LFT), while uric acid was as a parameter for renal function test (RFT). All LFT and RFT parameters showed high values (P&lt; 0.05) after one, two three and four weeks in all groups. 579.4 &plusmn; 1.55, 355.0 &plusmn; 2.13, 246.2 &plusmn; 2.45 and 0.83 &plusmn; 1.46 were the ALP, AST, ALAT and bilirubin values for LFT and uric acid was 6.74 &plusmn; 2.92 in D group at the end of four weeks. All these results indicate the probability of severe effect on the physiology of the liver and kidneys in the exposed birds.</p> Fluoride intoxication, domestic chicken, LFT, RFT, bilirubin Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum https://thejaps.org.pk/AbstractView.aspx?mid=2014-JAPS-12
