Experimental study on the impact of drinking water in plastic container with exposing to summer heat on animal health
Summary
Researchers experimentally evaluated the health effects of drinking water stored in plastic containers during summer heat conditions, using male rabbits as a model and measuring liver enzymes (ALT, GGT) and redox markers (MDA, GPX) over two months. Elevated enzyme and oxidative stress markers in the plastic-container groups suggested harmful leachate effects from heat-exposed plastic bottles.
This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the expected negative effects of using plastic containers in depicting hot weather on animal health by using some criteria for liver enzymes represented by Alinine transaminase ALT, gama glutamate tranaminase (GGT), as well as redox enzymes manuldehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) . The animal house in agriculture college university of Karbala was used for the purpose of housing the animals of this experiment and the experiment lasted from 4/6/2020 to 4/8/2020 . Thirty local male rabbits ,average weight 1100-1400gm and age 4 months were divided into three groups equally : First group G1 served as controls negative (10 animals) were received water in metallic container at room temperature.Second group G2: Control positive (10 animals) were received water in plastic container at room temperature. Third group G3: also (10 animals) were received water in plastic container at 45ºC temperature. Feeding and water offered ad-libtum. the result reviled that animals received water in plastic container with exposited to summer heat45ºC, recorded increased significantly after 45 days in ALT,GGT and monoldihyd (MDA) , as well as glutathione peroxidase recoded decreased significantly was observed .
