Abstract

Antioxidant defense were studied in liver and kidney of male albino rats received an aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate (AMV; 0.30 mg V/mL) or/and crude oil (CO; 0.75 ml/kg bw ip)) for 21-day period. AMV or/and CO treatments resulted in a significant (P<0.001) induction in aminotransferases (ALT and AST) activities in serum, as well as lipid peroxidation in liver and kidney. Concomitantly significant (P<0.001) decline in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) content was obtained. In AMV and AMV-CO treatments, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity significantly (P<0.001) reduced in liver and induced in kidney while in CO treatment, GST activity significantly (P<0.01) induced in liver and was unchanged in kidney. Signs of toxicity were observed in all vanadium-treated animals as evidenced by some deaths, decreased weight gain. These data indicated that kidney is more vulnerable to the caused by the AMV or/and CO-induced oxidative stress than liver as well as that the oxidative stress at co-exposure to AMV and CO may be more markedly advanced than at separate exposure.
