摘要：
The present study was carried out to investigate the protective effect of vitamin C as antioxidant to reduce hepatotoxicity and spleen toxicity induced by lead. Lead acetate administered at 20 mg/kg intake caused severe alterations in liver and spleen manifested by hepatocytes degeneration and leucocytes infiltration and fibrosis in liver, ill-defined architecture and large macrophages in the spleen. Vitamin C administered at 500 mg/kg of vitamin C one hour prior to lead reduced hepatotoxicity but did not affect liver fibrosis. Moreover, Vitamin C reduced the toxicity in spleen characterized by well-defined spleen architecture.
