Nephrotoxicity induced by chlorpyrifos-ethyl (CE) and ameliorating effects of melatonin and vitamin E plus vitamin C were evaluated in rats exposed to CE. Experimental groups were as follows: control (C), CE treated (CE), vitamin E plus vitamin C treated (Vit), melatonin treated (Mel), vitamin E plus vitamin C plus CE treated (Vit+CE), and melatonin plus CE treated (Mel+CE). The rats in the CE, Vit+CE and Mel+CE groups were administered orally with CE in two equal doses of 41 mg/kg body weight (0.25 LD50). Melatonin and vitamins E and C were administrated intramuscularly at the doses of 10, 150 and 200 mg/kg, respectively. The levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and antioxidant potential (AOP), and the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied in the homogenates of kidney tissue. There were no significant differences in the activities of SOD and CAT between the experimental groups. The level of TBARS increased significantly (P<0.05) while AOP decreased significantly (P<0.05) in the CE group compared with the C group. GSH-Px activity was significantly (P<0.05) lower in the CE group and higher in the melatonin group than the control group. Histopathological changes were found in the kidney tissue of rats treated with CE. These were infiltration in mononuclear cells at perivascular and peritubular areas, hydropic degenerations in tubule epithelium and glomerular sclerosis. The severity of the lesions was reduced by administration of vitamins and melatonin. These results suggest that CE increases lipid peroxidation and decreases AOP by increasing oxidative stress, and that high doses of melatonin and a combination of vitamin E plus vitamin C considerably reduce the toxic effect of CE on kidney tissue of rats.

Resistance of erythrocytes from Brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) affected by ulcerative dermal necrosis syndrome In the present work we evaluated the effect of ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN) syndrome on resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents and lipid peroxidation level in the blood from brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.). Results showed that lipid peroxidation increased in erythrocytes, as evidenced by high thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. Compared to control group, the resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents was significantly lower in UDN-positive fish. Besides, UDN increased the percent of hemolysated erythrocytes subjected to the hydrochloric acid, urea and hydrogen peroxide. Results showed that UDN led to an oxidative stress in erythrocytes able to induce enhanced lipid peroxidation level, as suggested by TBARS level and decrease of erythrocytes resistance to haemolytic agents.

Deer blood was hydrolyzed using Alcalase with hydrolysis time ranged form 0 to 6 h, and the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of protein hydrolysates increased with increasing hydrolysis time (P < 0.05). The reducing power, radicals scavenging activities and Cu2+-chelation ability of deer blood hydrolysate (DBH) significantly enhanced with increasing hydrolysis time (P < 0.05). The antioxidant activity of DBH, indicated by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) values in a liposome-oxidizing system, increased with increasing DH (P < 0.05). The results indicated that antioxidant activity of DBH depended on hydrolysis time, and the hydrolyzed deer blood could be a potent food antioxidant.

The Brain

The tissue concentration of lipid hydroperoxides, which was determined by a specific method involving chemical derivatization and HPLC, increased significantly in the heart, liver, kidney and muscle of diabetic rats 8 weeks after the intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin compared with that of the control group. These results demonstrate that an enhanced oxidative stress is caused in these tissues by diabetes. Vitamin C concentrations of the brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney and plasma of the diabetic rats decreased significantly after 8 weeks compared with those of the control group. Vitamin E concentrations of the brain, heart, liver, kidney, muscle and plasma of the diabetic rats increased significantly after 4 weeks compared with the control group. After 8 weeks, an elevation in vitamin E concentration was observed in the heart, liver, muscle and plasma of the diabetic rats.
