摘要
The effect of acute exposure of intraperitoneal injection of microcystin-LR (MCLR) on antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation has been studied in liver and kidney of rats. Rats were treated with two doses, i.e. 100 and 150 mu g of pure MCLR/kg body weight or saline solution. The enzyme activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the liver were significantly decreased in MCLR-treated rats. The decrease of GR activity in the liver was 60%, followed by GSH-Px, SOD and CAT. Similarly, a decrease in the antioxidant enzymes was found in the kidney of MCLR-treated rats, such as GSH-Px (27-31%), GR (22%), SOD (42%) and CAT (25-28%). Concomitantly, significant increases in lipid peroxidation levels were recorded in liver (121 and 196% for 100 and 150 mu g/kg, respectively) and kidney (48 and 58% for 100 and 150 mu g/kg, respectively) from MCLR-treated rats. In conclusion, acute exposure to MCLR results in a decrease in the antioxidant enzymes and an increase in lipid peroxidation in liver and kidney rats, suggesting the oxidative stress as an important role in the pathogenesis of MCLR-induced toxicity. Antioxidant enzymes were significantly consumed in the liver and a minor decrease was found in kidney, confirming the organ-specific effects of MCLR. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
