Abstract :The effects of a sublethal concentration of three plant growth regulators insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PRGs); on serum enzymes in rats were investigated under laboratory conditions. 100-ppm of PRGs, indoleacetic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IAA);, indolebutiric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IBA); and kinetin were administered orally to 8 rats ad libitum for 3 weeks. The hormon treatments caused different effects on the level of serum alanin aminotransferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ALT);, aspartate aminotransferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AST);, lactate dehydrogenase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LDH);, amylase and creatine phosphokinase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CPK); in comparison to those of control rats. According to the results, while the levels of LDH and CPK were increased significantly by IBA, the levels of AST, LDH and CPK were increased significantly by IAA. In addition, the levels of AST, LDH and CPK were increased significantly by kinetin. In conclusion, these chemicals have toxicological effects on the animals in subchronic treatment.
