Feeding period, group (1) –ve control, group (2) treated with juice, group (3) treated with paste, group (4) treat with PHZ, + ve control, group (5) treated with combination of PHZ and juice, group (6) treated with combination of Phz and Paste . Results showed that consumption of Tomato juice and paste group showed improvement of hemoglobin values and had significant decrease in serum lipid profile and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Moreover, they showed significant increase in hemoglobin, blood picture and Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione-peroxidase ,catalase and glutathione S-transferase, compared with control +ve group.
