Abstract: The present work is conducted to study the effect of papas seeds onreducing the toxic effect of high doses of nitrate and nitrite .Papasisadded to high doses of nitrate and nitrite in rats diet as 20%. Potassiumnitrate used at 0.6 and sodium nitrite used at 0.2% for two months offeeding. Nutritional, immunological parameters and detoxifyingenzyme activities were estimated. The results indicated that present ofnitrate and nitrite in rats diet affected a significant decrease in feedintake, body weight gain and feed efficiency ratio when compared withcontrol group. It can be observed that values of IgG and IgMproduction are significantly decreased as a result of adding nitrate andnitrite. Nitrate and nitrite lowered the activities of hepatic catalase andglutathione peroxidase , whereas it drastically increased Gammaglutamyl transpeptitdase activity in kidney. Addition of papas seeds tohigh doses of nitrate and nitrite affected increased feed intake, bodyweight and feed efficiency ratio. A significant increase of IgG and IgMwere observed when compared with control group. Feeding of dietcontaining papas seeds at level 20% has variable effects on thedifferent antioxidant/bio-transformation enzymes. It can be concludedthat presence of papas seeds in the diet that containing nitrate andnitrite salts is very important. Present study recommends the use ofnitrate and nitrite in food products especially meat production must bemonitored.
