چکیده

the aim of the present study was to evaluate vitamin c (vc) as a potent natural antioxidant to mitigate the genotoxic effects of arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride in swiss albino mice in vivo. the study was divided into eight groups consisting of control treated with normal saline (group i), group ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii and the vc group with only vitamin c (500 mg/kgbw). arsenic trioxide (4 mg/kgbw) and sodium fluoride (8 mg/kgbw) were administered singly, as well as in combination to swiss albino mice, with and without vc. in this study, the genotoxic effect of arsenic (as) and fluoride (f) in mice using comet, chromosomal aberration and lipid peroxidation assay was investigated. the results revealed that vc efficiently ameliorates the genotoxic effect of as and f by increasing the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and primary dna damage along with increased malondialdehyde (mda) level. in conclusion, vc mitigates the genotoxic effects of the two well-known water contaminants (as and f) effectively and efficiently at the given concentration in vivo.

Arsenic and Oxidative Stress in Pentylenetetrazole-induced Seizures in Mice

Background and Objective: Chronic arsenic toxicity is a widespread problem; the role of brain oxidative stress has been suggested in the genesis of epilepsy and in the post-seizure neuronal death. However, studies investigating the effects of arsenic on seizure and related mechanisms are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of prolonged exposure to sodium arsenite on oxi...

Protective Effects of Vitamin C and Chitosan against Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Stress in the Liver of Common Carp (Cyprinuscarpio)

Background: Cadmium (Cd) intoxication can cause oxidative stress and involve the antioxi-dant defense system in hepatocytes. Administration of vitamin C, chitosan, or a combination of both may prevent Cd-induced oxidative damage. Methods:Cyprinus carpio were distributed into six groups. The control group received normal feed (Group I). Group II was exposed to 0.2 mg.L-1 cadmium chloride. Gr...
