Abstract

Kerosene is a liquid mixture of chemicals produced from the distillation of crude oil. It is produced on an industrial scale by distilling crude oil in a process similar to that used to produce diesel or petrol. Kerosene is used as a fuel in cooking stoves and heaters, it also has application as a solvent in paints, cleaners, pesticides and some eye medicines. The study is aimed to determine the ameliorative effect of moringa oleifera leave extract on kerosene induced hematological, serum biochemistry and histological changes in wistar rats. Several households used kerosene stoves as means of cooking which predisposed them to hydrocarbons. Fumes from petroleum products cause environmental pollution, that have resulted into various health challenges. This study has provided information on how kerosene dynamic change in critical values of hematological and serum biochemical indices for clinical applications. It has also provided updated data on leverage of Moringa oleifera in mitigating the damaging effects of kerosene fumes to hematological and serum biochemical indices. An experimental study was conducted and random sampling technique was employed. A total of 20 adult Wister rats were randomly divided into four groups (five each): negative control; exposed to kerosene fume; exposed to kerosene fume later treated with Moringa oleifera and treatment with Moringa only. The results showed polycythemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia and hyperchloremia while the histological findings show no tissue damage. In conclusion, kerosene caused hematological and serum biochemical changes and treatment with Moringa oleifera leaf extract showed promising results as observed in this study.
