The objective of this investigation was to assess the potential protective effect of the herbal formulation Bronco-T against deleterious biochemical perturbations induced by formaldehyde in the liver and muscle tissues of male albino rats. The study aims to elucidate how formaldehyde exposure influences the equilibrium of protein, carbohydrate, antioxidants, and oxidative processes within the liver and muscle tissues of albino rats.Additionally, we investigated the direct relationship between observed biochemical alterations and the degree of formaldehyde exposure. In response to formaldehyde-induced abnormalities, administration of Bronco-T demonstrates significant promise.Bronco-T effectively mitigated aberrations in oxidative and antioxidant enzymes, restoring a more balanced state.Furthermore, Bronco-T facilitated improvements in protein and carbohydrate metabolism, playing a pivotal role in addressing the cascade of biochemical changes induced by formaldehyde exposure. It is noteworthy that inhALTion-based exposure to formaldehyde was associated with notable modifications in muscle and liver tissues. Through a comprehensive exploration of these dynamics, our study provides valuable insights into the potential protective role of Bronco-T against formaldehyde-induced biochemical disruptions in liver and muscle tissues, shedding light on its broader implications for health and well-being.
