The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of vitamin E and/or curcumin against diazinon (DZN) (an organophosphorus insecticide)-induced toxicity of blood, liver and erythrocyte markers of male Wistar rats. The exposure of rats to DZN for 21 days provoked significant changes in red blood cell counts and hemoglobin. Results showed that lipid peroxidation increased significantly in DZN-treated rats, as evidenced by high liver and erythrocyte thiobarbituric acid reactive substance levels. Alteration of the antioxidant system in DZN-treated rats was confirmed by the significant decrease in the activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase, accompanied by a decline in reduced glutathione content in both tissues. On the other hand, a significant increase in the activities of plasma aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase was observed in the rats treated with DZN. However, the administration of vitamin E and curcumin has ameliorated the previous markers. In conclusion, our results indicate that the natural antioxidants like vitamin E and curcumin can effectively lower the erythrocytes and hepatic injuries induced by DZN as monitored by lipid peroxides, antioxidant enzyme activities and sensitive serum enzyme levels.
本研究的目的是评估维生素E和/或姜黄素对二嗪农(DZN,一种有机磷杀虫剂)诱导的雄性Wistar大鼠血液、肝脏和红细胞标志物毒性的保护作用。大鼠暴露于DZN 21天会引起红细胞计数和血红蛋白的显著变化。结果表明,经DZN处理的大鼠脂质过氧化显著增加,肝脏和红细胞硫代巴比妥酸反应性物质水平升高证明了这一点。经DZN处理的大鼠抗氧化系统的改变通过过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶活性的显著降低得到证实,同时两个组织中还原型谷胱甘肽含量下降。另一方面,在经DZN处理的大鼠中观察到血浆天冬氨酸转氨酶、丙氨酸转氨酶、乳酸脱氢酶和碱性磷酸酶活性显著增加。然而,维生素E和姜黄素的给药改善了先前的标志物。总之,我们的结果表明,维生素E和姜黄素等天然抗氧化剂可以有效降低由DZN诱导的红细胞和肝脏损伤,这通过脂质过氧化物、抗氧化酶活性和敏感血清酶水平来监测。
