چکیده مقاله:

Background and Aims: Mercury, with its oxidative activity, causes damage to the antioxidant enzymes thus resulting in physiological disorders. Sodium selenide is an antioxidant that protects antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of sodium selenide on renal toxicity induced by mercuric chloride in rats. Materials and Methods: Animals were divided into 6 groups of 6 each. Control group was treated with mercuric chloride (2.5 mg/kg) subcutaneously. Groups 2, 3 and 4 of the rats were treated with 2.5 mg/kg of mercuric chloride and sodium selenide subcutaneously administered at doses of 0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 mg/kg, respectively. The fifth group received 0.04 mg/kg sodium selenide subcutaneously after 25 days of mercuric chloride (2.5 mg/kg) treatment. The sixth group was treated with 2.5 mg/kg of mercuric chloride subcutaneously and 100 mg/kg of vitamin E by gavage. Results: After data analysis of the activity of the enzyme catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxide, creatinine and urea, there was a significant difference in the activity of these factors compared with the control group in blood and kidney tissue (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study indicated that mercuric chloride has toxic effects in blood and kidney and sodium selenide may be able to reduce its’ blood and renal toxicity.

Effect of Vitamin C and Vitamin E on Mercuric Chloride -Induced Reproductive Toxicity in Male Rats

Mercury is a naturally occurring metal, which can exist in several forms. Metallic mercury is a shiny, silver-white, odorless liquid, which forms a colorless, odorless gas if heated. Mercury combines with other elements such as chlorine, sulfur, or oxygen to form inorganic mercury compounds or salts, which are usually white solids. Mercury also combines with carbon to make organic mercury compo...

Antioxidant effect of sodium selenite on thioacetamide-induced renal toxicity

Thioacetamide is an organosulfur compound and reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenic and toxic effect. Sodium selenite is considered to be an anticarcinogenic and antioxidant, therefore, the aim of study is to evaluate the toxic effect of thioacetamide and the role of sodium selenite on renal tissues by using rat model. 24 Albino wistar rats of male sex (b.w: 200±30gm) were divided i...

Glutathione effects on toxicity and uptake of mercuric chloride and sodium arsenite in rabbit renal cortical slices.

The mechanism of renal uptake of nephrotoxic heavy metals such as HgCl2 and NaAsO2 is not clear. The metals are known to react with endogenous sulfhydryls such as glutathione (GSH), so metal-GSH conjugates may be delivered to the kidney. To study this possibility, renal cortical slices from male New Zealand white rabbits were incubated with 10(-4) M HgCl2 or 10(-3) M NaAsO2 +/- stoichiometric a...
