Lead is having wide application in day to day life such as building materials, , and sea fish are also commonly intoxicated by lead. Direct or edible exposure of lead is the very common cause of lead toxicity. Chronic toxicity associated with lead is more hazardous compared to acute toxicity. Young children are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead and can suffer from permanent adverse health effects, particularly affecting the brain and nervous system development. Lead causes longterm toxicity in adults, including increased risk of hypertension and kidney damage. Exposure to high lead in pregnant women levels can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, low birth weight and minor malformations. Lead is responsible for generation of free radicals which induces a broad range of physiological, biochemical and behavioral dysfunctions. Lead exposure is having detrimental effects on almost all the major organ system which is a major contributory factor for incremental mortality and morbidity. Beneficial effects of polyphenol in lead induced toxicity have been noticed. The probable reason by which it may show the protection is scavenging of reactive oxygen species, generated by lead. Moreover, it is reported that they are also responsible for detoxification by removal of accumulated heavy metals from major organs.

“…Tribulus terrestris L. (Zygophyllaceae) is native to India and is already found in various regions around the world because it is suited to warm regions (Ghanbari et al, 2016;Khairwal & Kumar, 2013). Its fruit has been used in traditional medicine in China and India (Ayurveda) for hundreds of years in the treatment of infertility, impotence, erectile dysfunction, and low libido.…”

Tribulus terrestris fruit has been used as a traditional and popular medicine for the prevention and treatment of several diseases, including sexual dysfunction, atherosclerosis and hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, lipoxygenase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of an ethanol extract from Brazilian T. terrestris and its fractions sequentially partitioned into n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The antioxidant capacities were determined by DPPH and ABTS scavenging free radicals, chelating metal ions, reducing power and total antioxidant activity by using phosphomolybdenum. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) fingerprint analysis and quantitation of total phenolics were performed on the samples. The dichloromethane fraction showed the most complex HPLC-DAD chemical profile. The ethyl acetate and butanol fractions revealed the best phenolic compound and flavonoid recovery from T. terrestris. Concerning antioxidant activity, the ethyl acetate fraction presented better capacity for scavenging DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radicals, reductive power, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the other fractions. These results correlated closely with the levels of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The hexane fraction showed the best metal chelating power and lipoxygenase inhibitory activity. The anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory potential of Brazilian Tribulus terrestris depend on the method of preparation.
