Popis: International audience; The protective effects of alpha-Tocopherol (vitamin E) on liver injury induced by hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were investigated in adult male rats of Wistar strain. Animals were randomly divided into six groups of eight rats each. Group 1 and 2 have received HCB, dissolved in olive oil, at a dose of 4 mg or 16 mg/kg b.w., respectively. Group 3 and 4 were treated by the same doses of HCB (4 mg and 16 mg/kg b.w.) after 1 h of pretreatment with alpha-tocopherol at a dose of 100 mg kg(-1) b.w. The other two groups served as controls; which received either olive oil only, a solvent of HCB, or alpha-tocopherol. A significant increase in hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) and GSH activity were observed following HCB administration. The activities of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly decreased while glutathione peroxidase was significantly increased following HCB administration. Similarly, a significant increase in plasma levels of various marker enzymes [aminotransferase (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] and a decrease of total protein level were observed. Pretreatment with vitamin E of HCB treated rats ameliorated all biochemical parameters to near normal values. Liver histological study confirmed biochemical parameters and the beneficial role of vitamin E.
