چکیده
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the dose-response relationship between arsenic (As) exposure and markers of oxidative damage in Bangladeshi adults. METHODS We recruited 378 participants drinking water from wells assigned to five water As exposure categories; the distribution of subjects was as follows: (1) less than 10 μg/L (n=76); (2) 10 to 100 μg/L (n=104); (3) 101 to 200 μg/L (n=86); (4) 201 to 300 μg/L (n=67); and (5) more than 300 μg/L (n=45). Arsenic concentrations were measured in well water, as well as in urine and blood. Urinary 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and plasma protein carbonyls were measured to assess oxidative damage. RESULTS None of our measures of As exposure were significantly associated with protein carbonyl or 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine levels. CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence to support a significant relationship between long-term exposure to As-contaminated drinking water and biomarkers of oxidative damage among Bangladeshi adults.

To evaluate the protective effect of Zataria multiflora boiss. (Zm) extract against arsenic-induced oxidative damage in rats. Rats were orally treated with various doses of Zm (200, 400, and 600 mg/kg) and sodium arsenite (5.5 mg/ kg), alone or in combination, once daily for 30 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last dose, rats were euthanized, and biochemical studies were conducted ...
متن کاملDose-response relationship between arsenic exposure and the serum enzymes for liver function tests in the individuals exposed to arsenic: a cross sectional study in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND Chronic arsenic exposure has been shown to cause liver damage. However, serum hepatic enzyme activity as recognized on liver function tests (LFTs) showing a dose-response relationship with arsenic exposure has not yet been clearly documented. The aim of our study was to investigate the dose-response relationship between arsenic exposure and major serum enzyme marker activity associat...

Background and Objective: Chronic arsenic toxicity is a widespread problem; the role of brain oxidative stress has been suggested in the genesis of epilepsy and in the post-seizure neuronal death. However, studies investigating the effects of arsenic on seizure and related mechanisms are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of prolonged exposure to sodium arsenite on oxi...
