The concurrent presence of oxidative stress (OS) and aluminium exposure is an inducer of neurodegenerative changes. Aluminium can augment OS in a pro-oxidant dominant condition. Antioxidative property of α-tocopherol may be useful in restricting these degenerative changes in the brain. OS parameters are tested in frontal cortex (FC), hippocampus (HC), and cerebellum (CL) of α-tocopherol-supplemented (5 IU/day) male Wistar rats exposed to aluminium (10 mg Al/Kg/day; "Al"), ethanol (0.6 g ethanol/Kg/day; "Et"), and both ("Al-Et") and vehicle-treated control ("C") for 4 weeks. The α-tocopherol supplementation restricted regional alterations of reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Accordingly, the regional superoxide and peroxide handling capacities (SPHC) also remain unaltered. Al-Et group demonstrated significant elevation in the lipid peroxidation level in FC and CL regions compared to the group C; similar elevations in lipid peroxidation were noted in all the tested brain regions of Al group. Likewise, declines in glutathione reductase activity were noted in HC (versus Et group) and CL (versus Al and Et groups) of Al-Et group. Interestingly, changes in behavioral patterns of all the treatment groups are comparable while differing from that of the control group. Significant difference with group C is observed during first through fourth weeks, third to fourth weeks, and second to third weeks in terms of spontaneous motor activity, Rota Rod performance, and Hebb-Williams maze performance, respectively. Hence, the current dose and duration of α-tocopherol supplementation failed to provide full protection against the aluminium-induced neurodegeneration; nevertheless, it could provide only partial protection toward aluminium-induced augmentation of OS in specific brain regions.
