Abstract

The effect of food supplementation with chromium (CrCl3 · 6H2O) on intensity of peroxide processes and activity of antioxidant enzymes has been investigated in some rat tissues. Food supplementation with 200 μg/kg CrCl3 · 6H2O for 30 days resulted in the increase of tissue chromium. The tissue chromium content of chromium-treated rats decreased in the following order: spleen, heart, kidney, lung, brain, liver, skeletal muscles.

All organs and tissues (except skeletal muscles) of chromium-treated rats were characterized by decreased content of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products: hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). The maximal reduction in LPO products was observed in spleen, kidney, liver, and lung. Treatment with chromium also caused an increase in the activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and calatase in all tissues and organs studied. In the brain and kidney an increase in the content of reduced glutathione was observed. Superoxide dismutase activity was higher in myocardium and skeletal muscles, basically equal in lung and liver, while in other organs (brain, kidney, spleen) of experimental animals it was lower than in control animals. Results of this study suggest that chromium exhibits tissue/organ-specific regulatory effects on enzymes of the antioxidant defense
