Vanadium intoxication in albino rat based on haematobiochemistry and behaviouristic changes

چکیده
Heavy metals are the source of substantial environmental and health problems. Vanadium pentaoxide (V2O5) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that affects body physiology via the food, drinking water and through the air. Toxicological study of V2O5, following acute (1day) and subacute (7, 14, 21 days) exposure, alter behaviour and serum biochemistry in Wistar rats in terms of significant increase in serum total proteins, serum total lipids, serum phospholipids along with a substantial increase in serum cholesterol, serum albumin, serum globulin and serum albumin-globulin ratio. The Spontaneous and delayed behavioural changes included scratching, thirst, lethargyness, shivering, tremor, piling, crowding and reduction in food intake under vanadium stress.

Background: Exposure to any xenobiotic can disturb the metabolic activities of particular organs. Hence present study is designed to find changes in hepatic biochemistry, histochemistry and histopathology besides serum enzyme levels after acute and sub-acute treatment with mercuric chloride, a heavy metallic compound, in albino rat (Rattus norvegicus). Materials & methods: Thirty albino rat...
