Protective effect of curcumin on lead acetate-induced testicular toxicity in Wistar rats

Abstract: In recent years, the use of the antioxidant in reducing heavy metal toxicities has increased worldwide. Curcumin has been reported to have a strong antioxidant activity. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of curcumin on lead acetate-induced testicular damage in rats. The sample used 40 male rats divided into 5 groups: negative control (rats were given daily with corn oil); positive control (rats were given daily with lead acetate 50 mg/kg BW orally once in a day for 35 days); and the treatme… Show more

“…Therefore, the activities of SOD and GPx have been used to assess oxidative stress in cells. [6][7] The cadmium chloride has a high affinity for Sulfhydryl (SH) groups in several enzymes such as SOD and GPx, thus it can alter antioxidant activities by inhibiting functional SH groups in these enzymes. 1,19 In the present study, the activity of SOD and GPx in gastric rats was decreased by cadmium chloride treatment.…”

“…The GPx activity was expressed as μmoles of GPx/mg protein tissue for the gastric tissue. 2,6 Histopathological examination The tissue of gastric was fixed in a 10% neutral buffered formalin solution, embedded in paraffin and used for histopathological examination with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) stain. 3…”

“…Most herbal medicines are well tolerated by the patient, with fewer unintended consequences than synthetic medicine. Herbs typically have fewer side effects than synthetic medicine and may be safer to use over time (Cragg & Newman, 2013;Sudjarwo& Koerniasari;. The findings of the new antibacterial compounds in herbal became one of the remarkable alternatives for treatments since they are rich in numerous varieties of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponin, and phenolic compounds with antibacterial properties (Jyoti & Rajeshwari, 2012).…”

“…Lead is a highly toxic metal whose widespread use has caused extensive environmental pollution and health problems in human and animal. 1,2 Lead acetate is one of a toxic heavy metal which induced damage in most of the body organs as kidney, 3 testis, 4 liver, 5 heart 6 and lung. 7 The oxidative stress is an important mechanisms of lead acetate-induced lung cell damages via Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.…”
