The present work was undertaken to investigate the combined effect of nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide on food consumption, body weight, brain weight, and brain total lipid content in albino rats for 15 and 30 days. Combined gas exposure with nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide resulted in a significant reduction of food consumption (p<0.001), body weight (p<0.01), and brain total lipid (p<0.001) in comparison to control rats. The decrease in food consumption, body weight, brain weight, and brain total lipid content in albino rats after combined exposure to nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide is the result of the inflammatory action of toxic gases.
