Abstract:
:The effect of copper (Cu) deficiency on antioxidant status of liver and heart and its effect on adriamycin toxicity was assessed. Weanling rats were fed Cu-adequate (+Cu) and Cu-deficient (-Cu) diets for 3 weeks and then injected intraperitoneally once with saline or adriamycin (8 mg/kg). All -Cu rats had increased heart/body weight ratios compared to +Cu rats. Regardless of Cu status, adriamycin decreased body weight and increased heart cytochrome c oxidase, but had no effect on Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) index or liver cytochrome c oxidase activity. -Cu, adriamycin rats had significantly decreased heart weights (0.54 + 0.02 g/kg body wt.) compared to -Cu, saline rats (0.69 +/- 0.05 g/kg body wt.). Four of 6 -Cu rats given adriamycin had abnormal EKGs, with 3 showing extrasystoles and 1 having a severe bradycardia. All +Cu rats given adriamycin had normal EKGs. Pathological changes detected with electron microscopy were most severe in -Cu rats given adriamycin.
