Copper and Cadmium intoxication
Cadmium (Cd) is an industrial and environmental pollutant that was shown to be involved in the development of some diseases. In the study to evaluate the effect of copper of 27 adult female Wistar albino rats divided into three experimental groups. CdCl(2), CdCl(2) plus CuSO(4) and only drinking water was given to different groups for 21 days, found that in all tissues of Cd and Cd + Cu-treated groups, Cd levels were found to be increased significantly when compared to control group. MDA levels and MPO activities were significantly increased whereas GSH levels, activities of SOD and CAT were decreased in Cd groups when compared to control group. Cu supplementation significantly prevented the increment in MDA levels and brought MPO activities back to control levels or below. Cd-induced reductions in GSH levels and SOD activities were also prevented by Cu supplementation. An increase of CAT activity after Cu supplementation was enough to revert to the control levels in some tissues(6).
