Protective effect of ascorbic acid against oxidative stress induced by inorganic arsenic in liver and kidney of rat.

چکیده
Ascorbic acid treatment in arsenic trioxide treated rats increased arsenic excretion, inhibited lipid peroxidation, improved GSH status, regulated GSSG turnover and also restored glutathione-S-transferases activity in liver and kidney. Suitable mechanisms leading to ascorbic acid protection have been discussed. Upregulation of GSH dependent enzymes was found to be necessary for a protective effect. Protection is finally attributed to higher GSH levels observed in the liver and kidney of ascorbic acid and inorganic arsenic treated rats. It is also concluded that ascorbic acid protection is influenced by gender dependent factors. Arsenic poisoning is a global problem now. Gender differences need to be considered while applying therapeutic measures.

Deltamethrin is one of the most commonly used Pyrethroid around the world. Oxidative stress is one of the most deltamethrin toxicity mechanisms. According to many studies, it has been shown that the liver, due to its role, is the main source of accumulation of high concentrations of deltamethrin metabolites. Also the kidney plays a very important role in regulating homeostasis of the body and r...
