This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the double dose of tomato juice at the various sizes (1,2,3 ml) on the concentration of hemoglobin, packed cells volume and some biochemical characteristics and body weight of white male rats. Body weights of rats which ranged between (300-340)g. (6-7) months old. Rats divided into four groups, (5 group). Oral doses by garage needle the double dose of tomato juice daily with various size as respectively (1, 2, 3) ml/kg body weight. The rats were treated daily for four week. The results show that tomato juice may be the improved the concentration of hemoglobin and packed cells volume. In addition to improvement in biochemical characteristics were it decreases the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood serum of males rats. Accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of malondialdehyde and the rise in the concentration of glutathione. In addition to a reduction in the weight of male rats in all groups drench tomato juice the decrease of weight of rates in the group drenched 3 ml/kg body weight compared with the other groups.In general the study shows that the tomato juice has improved the blood and chemical properties and the status of antioxidants
