Abstract：
:Potassium dichromate was given to female Swiss mice (25 mg/kg per day) orally in water for 1-3 days. Brain homogenates were prepared to evaluate the occurrence of oxidative stress in this organ through the measurement of the antioxidant defense levels, and the extent of lipid peroxidation. In addition, mitochondrial fractions were isolated from brain homogenates to determine the production of reactive oxygen species in this subcellular fraction. The administration of potassium dichromate for 3 days caused increases of 72 and 74% in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, respectively, in the homogenates. The treatment with this metal for 3 days increased brain homogenate chemiluminescence and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances by 34 and 29%, respectively. The brain contents of the non-enzymatic antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and sulfhydryl groups decreased by 35 and 32%, respectively. Ascorbic acid levels were not modified by the administration of potassium dichromate. Finally, there was a significant increment in the mitochondrial production of oxidants in the brain of treated mice as compared with controls. These results suggest that chromium(VI) produces an increased formation of reactive oxygen species and brain lipid peroxidation. The increase in the antioxidant enzyme activities reflects an adaptive response against oxidative stress, while the reduction in the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants might be due to their reaction with reactive oxygen species generated during the metabolism of chromium(VI).
