We evaluated the possibility of using the urinary concentrations of tryptophan metabolites such as kynurenine (KYN) and kynurenic acid (KYNA) for monitoring cadmium (Cd) exposure and detecting early effects of its action in the kidney. For this purpose, we analyzed correlations between urinary excretion of both metabolites, Cd concentration and the activity of isoenzyme B of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase...
The involvement of some low-molecular thiol compounds in the mechanisms of peroxidative action of cadmium (Cd) and ethanol (EtOH) was studied. Concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH), metallothionein (Mt) and thiol (-SH) groups in protein and non-protein fractions were assessed in the homogenates of the liver and kidney of rats exposed to Cd (50 Cd/dm³ of drinking water) and EtOH (5 g EtOH/kg...
This study investigated the kynurenine metabolism in rats treated with cadmium. We used an animal model at the levels of Cd corresponding to human environmental and occupational exposure to this metal which allows the assessment of its early effect on the structure and function of kidneys. We observed significant decrease in the serum concentration of tryptophan (TRP) and its metabolites: kynurenine...
W pracy oceniano aktywność fagocytarną neutrofllów krwi obwodowej szczura (PMN) w zależności od narażenia na N-nitrozodimetyloaminę (NDMA). Wyniki przeprowadzonych testów w konfrontacji ze stężeniem N-nitrozodimetyloaminy we krwi obwodowej zwierząt sugerują związek pomiędzy narażeniem na NDMA a zdolnością fagocytarną neutroflli.
The aim of our work was to study choosen parameters of iron balance after exposure on low concentration of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Studies were performed on male Wistar rats of body weight 200 g, which were exposured on NDMA in concentration of 10 μg/dm3, 20 μg/dm3, 50 μg/dm3 in drinking water. The assays of choosen parameters of iron balance (iron concentration in serum, liver and spleen,...
