AB  - Cadmium is an ubiquitous environmental and occupational toxic metal concened with a variety of adverse effect. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of <I>Satureja hortensis</I> in alleviating the Cd induced biochemical cghanges in male rat. During the experiment, rats injected with Cd (3 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>) subcutaneously alone or with administration extract at different doses (100 and 200 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>) for 8 weeks. In Cd treated rats, the activities of Aspartate Transminase (AST), Alanine Transaminase (ALT) were significantly increased in serum. Administration of satureja extract along with cadmium significantly decreased the serum. Satureja extract at a dose of 200 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> was highly effective when compared to other dose (100 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>).
