Antioxidant Activity of Coated Probiotic Lactobacillus casei on Chromium(VI) Induced Oxidative Stress in Rats

Antioxidant Activity of Coated Probiotic Lactobacillus casei on Chromium(VI) Induced Oxidative... Experimental study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant potential of sodium alginate coated probiotic Lactobacillus casei against chromium (VI)-induced oxidative stress in albino rats. Administration of chromium (Cr) VI significantly (p < 0.05) increased the peroxidation markers such as malondialdehyde and protein carbonyls along with significant (p < 0.05) decrease in antioxidant markers such as super oxide dismutase and reduced glutathione in liver and kidney homogenates. Chromium also caused a significant (p < 0.05) alteration in hepatic and renal functional markers in serum viz., total protein, alanine transaminase, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Prominent pathological changes observed in liver were vascular congestion, degenerative changes, dilatation of sinusoids and mononuclear cell infiltration, while the kidney showed degeneration of tubular epithelial cells, cystic dilatation of tubules and hyaline casts. Co-administration of coated probiotic L. casei strain 17 reversed the Cr-induced changes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section B: Biological Sciences Springer Journals

Abstract

Experimental study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant potential of sodium alginate coated probiotic Lactobacillus casei against chromium (VI)-induced oxidative stress in albino rats. Administration of chromium (Cr) VI significantly (p < 0.05) increased the peroxidation markers such as malondialdehyde and protein carbonyls along with significant (p < 0.05) decrease in antioxidant markers such as super oxide dismutase and reduced glutathione in liver and kidney homogenates. Chromium also caused a significant (p < 0.05) alteration in hepatic and renal functional markers in serum viz., total protein, alanine transaminase, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Prominent pathological changes observed in liver were vascular congestion, degenerative changes, dilatation of sinusoids and mononuclear cell infiltration, while the kidney showed degeneration of tubular epithelial cells, cystic dilatation of tubules and hyaline casts. Co-administration of coated probiotic L. casei strain 17 reversed the Cr-induced changes.
