Effects of Arsenic Or/and Fluoride on Mineralized Tissues of the Rat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nuclear proton microprobe and histomorphometry were employed to study arsenic and fluoride distribution and effects on the mineralized tissues (teeth and bone) of rats. The results revealed that 1) fluoride (100 mg/L for 10 weeks) caused typical dental and skeletal fluorosis in rats, similar to those seen in humans; 2) no obvious effects of arsenic (30 mg/L for 10 weeks) on the mineralized tissues in rats were observed; 3) arsenic and fluoride in combination reduced the body weight of the rats significantly, presenting a synergistic effect; 4) arsenic insignificantly reduced fluoride depositions in the mineralized tissues; 5) no significant effects of arsenic were found on fluoride toxicity to the mineralized tissues in rats.

Positive effects of Vitamin C in arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in mice in vivo
The aim of the present study was to evaluate Vitamin C (VC) as a potent natural antioxidant to mitigate the genotoxic effects of Arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride in Swiss albino mice in vivo. The study was divided into eight groups consisting of control treated with normal saline (Group I), Group II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and the VC group with only Vitamin C (500 mg/kgbw). Arsenic trioxide (4...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. A sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. Biochemical parameters [pH, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-...

متن کاملProtective Effects of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Nasturtium officinale on Rat Blood Cells Exposed to Arsenic
Background: Arsenic is one of the most toxic metalloids. Anemia and leukopenia are common results of poisoning with arsenic, which may happen due to a direct hemolytic or cytotoxic effect on blood cells. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Nasturtium officinale on blood cells and antioxidant enzymes in rats exposed to sodium (meta)arsenite. Methods: 32...
