Abstract
Purpose: As a result of the literature studies, it was seen that boric acid was the subject of many studies, and its effects on living things were investigated and examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of oral boric acid supplementation at pharmacologic doses on physiological and biochemical systems in aged rats.
 Material and methods: A total of 32 Wistar Albino male-aged rats were randomly and equally divided into the following four groups: 1st; Control=1 ml saline; 2nd; Low-dose boric acid (L-BA)=10 mg/kg; 3rd; Medium-dose boric acid (M-BA)=20 mg/kg; 4th; High-dose boric acid (H-BA)=40 mg/kg. Boric acid was given orally to aged rats for 28 days. Blood, liver, and kidney samples of rats were collected on day 29 to be analyzed for oxidants, antioxidants, proinflammatory cytokines, and biochemical changes.
 Result: Boric acid significantly increased albumin, total protein, calcium levels equally in all boric acid groups compared to the control group (p
