Abstract

This study aimed to explain the effect of Senegalia Senegal (Gum Arabic) and Boswellia on some physiological and biochemical parameters of liver and kidney function. Thirty adult male rats were used after induction of arthritis. They were divided into six groups, with five rats for each group. The first group was the negative control group (rats without arthritis induction and treatment), the second group was the positive control group (rats with arthritis induction), the third group was (the group arthritis induction and intubated orally with 250 mg kg B.W Boswellia), the fourth group was (the group arthritis induction and intubated orally 400 mg/kg B.W. gum arabic), and the fifth group was (the group arthritis induction and intubated orally with Boswellia and gum arabic). The sixth group was arthritis induction and intubated 0.75 mg/kg of methotrexate. Blood samples were obtained after two and six weeks. The following tests were performed: liver function tests, glucose, kidney function, and lipid profile. The results showed a decrease in the liver enzymes AST, ALT, and ALP, and kidney functions, Urea, Uric acid, and Creatinine, as well as the glucose level, while there was an increase in the HDL level and a decrease in Triglyceride, cholesterol, VLDL, and LDL in comparison to two weeks and six weeks for one group.
