Alleviation of Chlorpyrifos-induced Delayed Neurotoxicity with Vitamin E and Phenytoin in Hens
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of the study was to see if oxidative damage is involved in organophosphorus-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN) and its subsequent alleviation through antioxidants. A total of 72 hens aged 56 weeks were divided into 4 groups (n=18).Group 1 sham, Groups 2, 3 and 4 were administered chlorpyrifos (CPS) @ 350mg/kg BW s.c. in divided doses over a period of 24 hrs. To prevent death due to cholinergic toxicity, atropine and 2-PAM were administered. In group 3, vit. E was administered @ 50mg/kg p.o 10 days prior to administration of CPS and in group 4 phenytoin @ 50mg /kg p.o.was administered for 5 days prior to CPS. Signs of OPIDN were scored. Acetyl cholinesterase (AchE) activity in distal spinal cord served as a biomarker of exposure. Sciatic nerve total calcium was estimated, since Ca 2+ is implicated in generation of ROS and in phosphorylation of proteins. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were estimated to assess lipid peroxidation. CPS produced signs of OPIDN that were reversed on 10th day. There was a decline in AChE activity. Oxidative stress with CPS was manifested by a significant rise in TBARS, increased activity of SOD, catalase and decline in glutathione levels. The above parameters were significantly lowered with prior administration of vitamin E. Phenytoin offered mild protection to the birds. Hence, it is concluded that oxidative stress could be one of the mechanisms of OPIDN and antioxidants might provide a viable therapeutic regimen for alleviation of OPIDN.

متن کاملMitochondrial complex I inhibition as a possible mechanism of chlorpyrifos induced neurotoxicity
BACKGROUND Organophosphates (OPs) represent the most widely used class of pesticides. Although perceived as low toxicity compounds compared to the previous organochlorines, they still possess neurotoxic effects both on acute and delayed levels. Delayed neurotoxic effects of OPs include OPIDN and OPICN. The mechanisms of these delayed effects have not been totally unraveled yet. One possible con...

Protective effects of prednisolone as a synthetic adrenal cortical hormone and complex of vitamin B(1), B(2), B(6) and B (12) on organophosphorus compound-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN) caused by leptophos and tri-o-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) as organophosphates (OPs) were examined. Nine groups of hens (six for each) were used. Eight groups received intravenous injection of 30 mg/kg of lept...

The effects of dietary supplemental vitamin E (VE) and chromium (Cr) on egg production (EP), egg quality, serum concentrations of Cr and insulin and activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were evaluated in Lohmann LSL-Lite laying hens reared under thermoneutral or heat stress (HS) conditions. A total of 144 laying hens were distributed in 24 cages and assigned to feed four diets including ...
متن کاملRelative inhibitory potencies of chlorpyrifos oxon, chlorpyrifos methyl oxon, and mipafox for acetylcholinesterase versus neuropathy target esterase.
The relative inhibitory potency (RIP) of an organophosphorus (OP) inhibitor against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) versus neuropathy target esterase (NTE) may be defined as the ratio [k(i)(AChE)/k(i)(NTE)], where k(i) is the bimolecular rate constant of inhibition for a given inhibitor against each enzyme. RIPs greater than 1 correlate with the inability of ageable OP inhibitors or their parent co...
