The protective effects of vitamin E was investigated on the cardiotoxicity induced by endosulfan administration. Male rats in different groups were given endosulfan (2 mg per kg body weight per day in corn oil through gavage), vitamin E (200 mg per kg body weight twice a week in corn oil through gavage) and endosulfan and vitamin E at the same dose and route, to the control group corn oil is given at the dose rate of 2 mL per rat per day through gavage, for a period of28 days. The animals were sacrificed and heart tissues were collected and subjected to histopathology. The result indicated, sever congestion, haemorrhages with interstitial oedema. In some places there was diapedesis of leukocytes. Myocardium showed different degrees of degeneration, some of the myofibrils were found to be granular with pyknotic nuclei. Thickening of wall of arteries were seen. In the Vitamin E and endosulfan treated group the above mentioned lesions were significantly decreased in their severity. This study brought to light the protective effects of vitamin E on the toxic pathological lesions caused by endosulfan administration. |
