A Low Dose of Chlorfenvinphos Affects Hepatic Enzymes in Serum and Antioxidant Enzymes in Erythrocytes and Liver of Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chlorfenvinphos administered at a single dose of 0.02 LD50 on the activity of serum of liver damage indicatory enzymes, such as β-glucoronidase (BGR), acid phosphatase (AcP) and alanine and aspartate aminotransferases (ALT and AST), as well as on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in erythrocytes and liver. The animals were divided into two groups: the control group, which received oil, and the experimental groups, which received oil solution of chlorfenvinphos at a dose of 0.02 LD50. After 1, 24 and 48 hours of intoxication with chlorfenvinphos the blood samples were collected and livers were quickly removed. This study indicates that acute intoxication with chlorfenvinphos administered at a dose of 0.02 LD50 leads to liver function disturbances, which is a likely result of increased generation of reactive oxygen

BACKGROUND: Hemolytic anemia is a disorder characterized by the premature erythrocytes destruction. Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which causes hemolytic anemia. Cynara scolymus due to its antioxidant compounds, has been used for various therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to evalua...

Introduction: One of the main mechanisms by which diabetic complications occur is an alteration of the structure and function of proteins due to hyperglycemia. Aspirin (ASA) affects cellular pathways through different mechanisms, including glycation inhibition and antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study, as a follow up to our previous one, is to investigate the effect of long-term, h...
