主 题:Preventive and Therapeutic Role of Vitamin E in Chronic Plumbism ALAD
摘 要:The ability of vitamin E to prevent or treat experimental lead intoxication was investigated in *** ingestion(10 mg/kg,lead as lead acetate,orally fbr 6 weeks)significantly inhibited the activity of blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase(ALAD),reduced the brain dopamine (DA)contents,enhanced the blood zinc protoporphyrin,and enhanced the urinary excretion of δ-aminolevulinic acid(ALA).Lead exposure also elevated brain norepinephrine,homovanillic acid,and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid(5-HIAA)levels and concentration of lead in blood and *** supplementation of vitamin E along with lead significantly reduced the inhibition of blood ALAD activity,brain DA and 5-HIAA levels,and elevation of urinary ALA *** and liver lead concentrations were also significantly reduced by simultaneous supplementation with vitamin *** exposure treatment with vitamin E was ineffective in reducing the lead-induced effects,except that the inhibition of blood ALAD activity was slightly *** present results suggest that vitamin E given simultaneously with lead is effective in reducing the severity of lead intoxication.1989 Academic ***.
