Abstract The effect of praziquantel on schislosoma mansoni infected mice was studied.The aim of the present work is to :- * Investigate the influence of the threrapeutic dose of praziquantel on some liver functions tests. * To demonsterate whether changes in some of the liver functions (due to schistosomea mansoni ) could be arrested, reversed or increased by praziquantel. * To investigate the role ofpraziquantel as a prophylactic drug. For this study 100 mice were used and divided into (5) groups each contain 20 mice. Group I Included 20 mice and were used as ( normal control ). Group II: Included 20 non infected mice praziquantel was given at one single dose of 200 mglkg body weight orally (Drug control ). Group III: Included 20 mice infected by (100) schistosoma cerecariae for each mouse using partial immersion technique ( Lennox and Beuding, 1972). - 71 - ”.,’” ”:+ t,f>.’ . . -’-’~- I I r Group IV : Included 20 mice infected by (100)s-chistosoma cercariae for each mouse using partial imniersion technique and immediatly one single oral dose of praziquantel was given by a dose of (200) mg/kg body weight (prophylactic group). Group V: included 20 mice infected by (100) schistosoma mansoni cercariae for each mouse using partial immersion technique and after 45 days of infection the animals were teated with praziquantel by a one single oral dose of praziquantel was given by a dose of (200) mglkg body weight (treated group). Sampling ,Blood samples were taken for each as follow: Each mouse was slightly anaesthetized by ether, then its body was fixed on dissecting plate. The left axilla was dissected, then wasserman tube was put under the left axilla away from the far of the mouse. Axillary plexus was cut to left all the blood coming from the heart to get inside the tube. Blood samples of group II (Drug control) were taken after 10 days from given the drug. Blood samples of group (III) and group (IV) were taken after 45 days from infection. - 78 - Blood samples of group (V) were taken after 55 days [ 45 days for infection and 10 day for treatment] The sera were separated and stored at - 20°C for assaye. The sera separated were used for determination of [serum AST, ALT, GGT, total proteins, albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and protein fractionation]. Our results demostrated that there were significant increase in [ serum ALT, ALP, A/G ratio and albumin] while [ alph-l globulin%, alpha- 2 globulin % and beta globulin%] were significant decreased. Our results demostrated that [ serum AST, total proteins and gamma globulin %] were non significant increased while [serum total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin] were non significant decreased (Drug control ). Our results showed that [ serum AST, ALT, GGT, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, total proteins, beta globulin% and gamma globulin %] were significant increased while [ serum albumin, A/G ratio, albumin% and alpha-l globulin%] were significant decrease. Our results demonstrated that [ serum dirct bilirubin and alpha-2 globulin %] were non significant increased (Infected group).
