To investigate the effect of the squalene against the lead toxicity. A healthy male of ICR mice were used for experiment. The SOD was observed after the intraperitoneal injection in mice. The ultrastructural changes of the liver were observed after the intraperitoneal injection in mice. The experimental groups were divided into two groups. Group A was control group that squalene was not treated after intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate. Group B was squalene treatment group that squalene solution was injected after intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate. All groups were used to 10 mice. The results were as follow: SOD activity in the liver, Group A was lower than in normal. But, Group B was higher than in Group A (P<0.05). In the histological observation, Group A were showed that the inner cavity of mitochondria swellen and development of cristae weakened. Swelling of lamellae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) was showed. It was concluded that the SQ will be effective for the recovery of hepatic cell at lead intoxication.
