Amelioration of Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Damage in Wistar Rats by Vitamin C, Zinc and N-Acetylcysteine

The present study was performed to determine the protective effects of vitamin C, zinc, and N-acetylcysteine, individually or in combination with Cd, to monitor their amelioration capability against Cd-induced oxidative damage in Wistar rats. We investigated and demonstrated that cadmium is a toxic...

description The present study was performed to determine the protective effects of vitamin C, zinc, and N-acetylcysteine, individually or in combination with Cd, to monitor their amelioration capability against Cd-induced oxidative damage in Wistar rats. We investigated and demonstrated that cadmium is a toxic element that damages rat liver and kidney tissues. Vitamin C, zinc, and NAC have been proven to have protective roles against Cd toxic effects. Nine groups of rats were studied as the experimental group. The present experiment was conducted for 45 days. Liver and kidneys were excised for biochemical evaluation by assaying antioxidant enzymes and lipid oxidation products to assess the impact of Cd toxicity and its amelioration by co-administration of vitamin C, zinc, and NAC along with Cd. Basal metabolic rates and tissue respiration rates of liver and kidney were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) during Cd toxicity. Serum biochemical parameters were also found to be significantly altered to cope with Cd toxicity. All the antioxidant enzymes and products were significant inhibited (p < 0.05) or elevated in rat liver and kidney tissues during Cd-induced toxicity. Our results suggest that co-administration of vitamin C, zinc, and NAC to rats ameliorates oxidative damage induced by Cd toxicity. From the results obtained in the present study, all the agents tested had protective effects against Cd-induced oxidative damage.
