Abstract：
:The toxicological literature is replete with studies attempting to explain the mechanism of action of organophosphorus (OP) insecticides to their anticholinesterase activities, but not much is known about the metabolism and detoxification of these compounds. The goal of this study was to ascertain the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos, one of the most widely used OPs, on the liver of male rats and also to evaluate the protective potential of zinc in mediating its toxic effects. It was observed that chlorpyrifos (13.5 mg/kg body weight) treatment resulted in significant inhibition (p < 0.001) of serum and hepatic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities after 8 wk. However, zinc-treated (227 mg/L drinking water) animals resulted in significant normalization of the inhibited AChE activities. Similarly, a significant increase in the levels of various serum and liver marker enzymes (viz. alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) was observed following treatment with chlorpyrifos. However, coadministration of zinc to these animals restored these enzymes to within normal limits, even though some increase in the activity of serum ALT and hepatic alkaline phosphatase still persisted at the end of the study. Chlorpyrifos treatment diminished serum and hepatic zinc levels significantly (p < 0.01 to p < 0.001) compared to normal control animals. Serum iron concentrations also plummeted significantly following chlorpyrifos treatment. On the contrary, serum copper levels were significantly increased (p < 0.01) in chlorpyrifos-treated animals, but they were normalized following zinc supplementation to the rats in this group. Interestingly, chlorpyrifos treatment resulted in elevated hepatic levels of copper, iron, and selenium, but zinc treatment could only partially restore the raised elemental concentrations. These data clearly demonstrate the potential role of zinc in mediating the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos, presumably because of their antioxidant properties and also their possible interaction with other trace elements in maintaining the cellular harmony.
