This investigation gives a detailed analysis of oxidative stress conditions generated following chronic aluminum exposure (10 mg Al/kg body weight per day) for a period of 4 weeks. We observed a significant enhancement in the levels of lipid peroxidation at the completion of aluminium treatment. The antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were seen to decrease following aluminum exposure. A significant decrease in the nonprotein sulfhydryl (NPSH) group status was also observed along with a decreased NPSH:disulfide ratio, thus further accentuating the oxidative insult to tissue. In vitro addition of desferrioxamine was shown to reverse aluminum induced lipid peroxidation, suggesting the probable therapeutic role of the drug against aluminum neurotoxicity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
