Abstract

The current work aimed to study the effects of Ciprofloxacin (80mg/kg body weight) on levels of lipids (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, VLDL, and LDL) and liver enzymes (GOT, GPT, and Alkaline phosphatase) in albino mice for 3, 7 and 14 days using ∆pH/30 min method. The study was conducted by dividing the albino mice into four equal groups. G-I: control group, G-II: animals were treated with ciprofloxacin as one /day orally for 3 days, G-III: animals were treated with ciprofloxacin as one per/day orally for 7 days, and G-IV: animals were treated with ciprofloxacin one per/day orally for 14 days. The results showed that ciprofloxacin therapy raised the blood total cholesterol considerably and serum HDL, LDL, GOT, GPT, and Alkaline phosphatase significantly. There was a substantial decrease in triglyceride levels in the blood.
