Arsenic compound are known to induce toxicity in mammalian system. However reproductive toxicity is comparatively less expedited. Arsenic has a long environmental persistence and never loses its toxic potential. Arsenic affects the reproductive systems of female Swiss mice. In the present study, toxic effects of arsenic are observed on histopathology of ovary studied after adssssssministration of low (1mg/kg body weight) dose of arsenic trioxide to the Swiss albino mice; along with this tomato puree on arsenic induced toxicity has also been examined. A significant weight loss of ovary was also observed. Moreover, arsenic was also responsible for ovarian follicular degeneration and vacuolization in follicular cells. The results of the present study indicated a marked effect of recovery of the follicle cells of the ovary after exposure to tomato puree with higher dose as it was dose dependent.
