Lead toxicity often to various clinical conditions, Batteries, power cables, computer, water pipes, found in petroleum oil, coal and tobacco. Moringa leaves were found to contain antioxidants. (237.1 mg/g) phenols and (141.7 mg/g) flavones. Phenols were found to contain 23 phenolic compounds, vanillic, salicylic, and Catechins phenols are present in large amounts. Exposure to Lead increased the activity of liver enzymes AST, ALT and ALP while the level of albumin was decreased there is a significant increase in the level of urea and creatinine. The addition of the water and acetone extracts reduced the harmful effect of lead poisoning the treatment with Moringa leaf extracts improved the activity of antioxidant parameters (SOD,CAT and MDA),and decrease in the accumulation of lead in both liver and brain in the experimental rats.      }, keywords = {Moringa leaves Poisoned by pb}, url = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174536.html}, eprint = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174536_9f7511b66e01a87e6494b527703a1457.pdf} } @article { author = {Shabana, M.M.D. and Abozid, M.

This study was carried out to determine physical properties of linseed, soybean and walnut oils (Refractive index, color, specific gravity) as well as chemical properties (Acid value, saponification value, ester value, iodine value and peroxide value). The percentage of unsaponifiable matter and stability induction period at 100◦C were also estimated. To determine the nutritional value of these oils, both their fatty acid content (assessed by the gas chromatography apparatus) and sterol content (assessed by GC-MS). Physical properties of linseed, soybean or walnut oils showed that; refractive index were 1.48, 1.47 and 1.84,   respectively, while color (red) intensity were 9.5, 3.5 and 2.6, respectively and specific gravity were 0.93, 0.92 and 0.92, respectively. On the other hand, chemical properties of linseed, soybean or walnut oils showed that; saponification value were 192, 191 and 190.73(mg KOH/g oil), respectively, while acid value were 0.87, 0.27 and 0.79 (mg KOH/g oil), respectively, and iodine value were 175, 128 and 145 (g I2/100 g oil), respectively, finally, peroxide value were 1.95, 0.77 and 1.31 (Meq oxygen/Kg), respectively. Alpha linolenic acid was the major fatty acid in linseed oil (60.21%), while linoleic acid was the main fatty acid in both, soybean oil (52.83%) and walnut oil (61.85%). β-sitosterol was the main sterol in the linseed, soybean or walnut oils (54.72, 40.13 and 76.85%, respectively). As shown by the results, the three studied oils showed high content of essential fatty acids, (both omega-3 and omega-6), making them promising oils to support diets with essential fatty acids.              }, keywords = {Alpha- linolenic acid,Linoleic acid,linseed oil,soybean oil,walnut oil,Physical properties and chemical properties of oils,sterols}, url = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174538.html}, eprint = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174538_72b43c9b0ccf16791e7d475a701abf03.pdf} } @article { author = {El-Shuony, F.
