Abstract


The second most common cancer-related cause of death, particularly for women, is breast cancer, which is a serious global health issue. A non-steroidal antiestrogen known as tamoxifen (TAM) is utilized as a chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive medication for breast cancer. This study's objective was to look into how tamoxifen may affect the GOT and GPT liver enzymes., and assessment the related tamoxifen with lipid profile .


Materials and methods: For this experiment, fifty male albino rats were employed. Three equal groups of fifty albino rats were created: group I (control), group II (treated), and group III (treated).  tow groups given the drug tamoxifen , it was orally administered in dose of 20 and 40 mg /day /day through or gastric tube for 28 days .


 Result : The liver enzyme assessment showed significant increased (p>0.05)  in both enzyme GOT and GPT in group two which treated with 20 mg /kg / day and group three which treated with 40 mg/kg/day of tamoxifen drug compared with control group which treated with distil water only.in other hand the lipid profile assessment appeared significant decrease (p≤0.05) of serum triglyceride and cholesterol in both treatment groups compare to control group.
