α-lipoic acid mitigates arsenic-induced hematological abnormalities in adult male rats

چکیده
background: arsenic toxicity is a major global health problem and exposure via contaminated drinking water has been associated with hematological and other systemic disorders. the present investigation has been conducted in adult male rats to evaluate the protective ability of α-lipoic acid (ala) against such hematological disorders. methods: twenty-four adult male wister rats (b.wt.130±10g) were grouped and accordingly group i (control) received the normal diet, group ii (treated) was given arsenic orally for 28 consecutive days as arsenic trioxide (3 mg/kgbw/rat/day) whereas group iii (supplemented) received the same dose of arsenic along with ala (25 mg/kgbw/rat/day) as oral supplement. hematological profile, plasma oxidant/antioxidant status, and erythrocyte morphology were assessed. statistical analysis was done by one-way anova using spss software (version 16.0). results: arsenic exposure caused reduction of erythrocyte (p=0.021), leucocyte (p<0.001), and hemoglobin (p=0.031) associated with echinocytic transformation as evidenced by light and scanning electron microscopic studies. the other significantly altered parameters include increased mean corpuscular volume (p=0.041) and lymphocytopenia (p<0.001) with insignificant neutropenia and eosinophilia. altered serum oxidative balance as evidenced by decreased tas (p<0.001) and increased tos (p<0.001) with osi (p<0.001) was also noted. the dietary supplementation of ala has a beneficial effect against the observed (p<0.05) arsenic toxicities. it brings about the protection by restoring the hematological redox and inflammatory status near normal in treated rats. arsenic-induced morphological alteration of erythrocytes was also partially attenuated by ala supplementation. conclusion: it is concluded that arsenicosis is associated with hematological alterations and ala co-supplementation can partially alleviate these changes in an experimental male rat model.

Effect of ascorbic acid and anaerobic exercise on PTZ-induced seizure in adult male rats
Introduction: The concentration and action of ascorbic acid in the central nervous system as a vitamin and also a neuromodulator have exercise-induced fluctuations. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of anaerobic exercise alone and associated with the consumption of ascorbic acid as a non pharmacological treatment for reducing seizures and increasing seizure thresholds. ...

α-Lipoic acid (LA) is widely used for nutritional supplements as a racemic mixture, even though the R enantiomer is biologically active. After oral administration of the racemic mixture (R-α-lipoic acid (RLA) and S-α-lipoic acid (SLA) mixed at the ratio of 50:50) to rats, RLA showed higher plasma concentration than SLA, and its area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to th...
