Abstract

Background: This study was performed to see the effect of chronic administration by gavage of aspartame on kidneys and behavior in Wistar rats.

Methods: In this study, 28 Wistar rats were used, divided into 04 groups including a control group treated with distilled water and three other groups treated with aspartame at different doses (40 mg / kg, 60 mg / kg, 1000 mg / kg body weight) for 90 days orally (gastric gavage).

Results: A highly significant increase (p <0,001) of blood urea level ASP 3 group compared to the ASP1 group (ADI Acceptable Daily Intake) , however we observe a highly significant reduction in blood creatinine level (p <0, 01) as compared to the ASP1 tolerated daily intake group. In the open field test, we notice highly significant decrease (p <0,01) in the ASP3 group treated with the 1000 mg per kg body weight dose ASP 3 compared to the group treated with the 40 mg / kg bw dose or the ADI ( Acceptable Daily Intake) ASP1.

The histopathological study of kidneys showed multiple vascular congestion with inflammatory infiltration in Group ASP3 compared to the control.

Conclusion: The chronic administarion of aspartame by gavage on Wistar rats causes kidney damage and neurobehavioral troubles.
