Effect of selenium pre-treatment on antioxidative enzymes and lipid peroxidation in Cd-exposed suckling rats
Since there are no data about the protective role of selenium (Se) against cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative damage in early life, we studied the effect of Se supplementation on antioxidative enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation (through thiobarbituric acid reactive substances ; TBARS) in suckling Wistar rats exposed to Cd. Treated animals received either Se alone for 9 days (8 mumol, i.e., 0.6 mg Se as Na(2)SeO(3) kg(-1) b.w., daily, orally ; Se group), Cd alone for 5 days (8 mumol, i.e., 0.9 mg Cd as CdCl(2) kg(-1) b.w., daily, orally ; Cd group), or pre-treatment with Se for 4 days and then co-treatment with Cd for the following 5 days (Se + Cd group). Our results showed that selenium supplementation, with and without Cd, increased SOD activity in the brain and kidney, but not in the liver and GSH-Px activity across all tissues compared to control rats receiving distilled water. Relative to the Cd group, Se + Cd group had higher kidney and brain SOD and GSH-Px activity (but not the liver), while in the liver caused increased and in the brain decreased TBARS level. These results suggest that Se stimulates antioxidative enzymes in immature kidney and brain of Cd-exposed rats and could protect against oxidative damage.
