Oxidative stress with subsequent lipid peroxidation has been postulated as one mechanism for lead toxicity. Hence in assessing the protective effects of lipoic acid (LA) and meso 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) on lead toxicity, they were tested either separately or in combination for their effects on selected indices of hepatic oxidative stress. Elevated levels of lipid peroxides were accompanied by altered antioxidant defense systems. Lead acetate (Pb - 0.2%) was administered in drinking water for five weeks to induce toxicity. LA (25 mg kg(-1) body wt. day(-1) i.p) and DMSA (20 mg kg(-1) body wt. day(-1) i.p) were administered individually and also in combination during the sixth week. Lead damage to the liver was evident in the decreases in hepatic enzymes alanine transaminase (-38%), aspartate transaminase (-42%) and alkaline phosphatase (-43%); increases in lipid peroxidation (+38%); decreases in the antioxidant enzymes catalase (-45%), superoxide dismutase (-40%), glutathione peroxidase (-46%) and decreases in glutathione (-43%) and decreases in glutathione metabolizing enzymes, glutathione reductase (-59%), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (-27%) and glutathione-S-transferase (-42%). In combination LA and DMSA completely ameliorated the lead induced oxidative damage. Either compound alone was however only partially protective against lead damage. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
