Boiss. (FASB) extract on mineral(Ca, K, Na) and trace element (Cu, Zn, Se, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, Pb, Ni, Cd) levels were determined in rat heart tissue, whichwas oxidatively stressed with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Experimental period was continued with Wistar-Albinorats (n:60) in 21 days. Rats were treated with NDMA (10 mg/kg) in first seven days. FASB plant extract was given to therats each day of the study. The rats were divided into six groups of ten rats each. The mineral and trace element levels ofheart tissue were analyzed by using ICP-OES. The results show that NDMA group was significantly lower results thancontrol group with regarding to Zn, Co and Na levels (p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.05). On the other hand the NDMA groupwas also significantly lower results than the FASB (300 mg/kg) group regarding Zn and Co levels (p<0.05 and p<0.05),whereas the FASB (150 mg/kg) group had increased level of Na according to NDMA group (p<0.05). In conclusion, dueto the positive effect on significantly alteration in Zn and Co level of heart tissue, it was suggested that the FASB (150, 3 00mg/kg) can be used in preventing hearth damage.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyoloji,Tıbbi Araştırmalar Deneysel,VeterinerlikArticle24211712232640510.5505/ejm.2019.85866
