(T.vulgaris) and their constituents was previously reported. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of T.vulgaris extract toward PQ induced toxicity in male albino rats. The current study was conducted on thirty two male albino rats, they were randomly separated upon four equal groups, all groups were fed standard diet and tap water ad libitum as following; the first group was considered as control. The second group was treated with PQ (0.3ml/rats) orally by needle gavage, the third group as administered with PQ (0.3ml/rats), and 200ml/kg body weight (BW) of T.vulgaris extract orally by needle gavage, the fourth group was administered with 200ml/kg BW of T.vulgaris extract orally by needle gavage. The treatment duration was continued for eight executive days. Paraquat administration showed significant decrease in BW, food intake, liver, kidney weight also PQ increased malondialdehyde (MDA), low density lipoprotein (LDL), uric acid (UA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) Keywords: paraquat, T. vulgaris, malondyaldehyde, low density lipoprotein and alkaline phosphatase.
