Abstract:
:The effects of various levels of dietary iron on hepatic lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde [MDA] content), reduced glutathione (GSH) and GSH peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity as well as liver and body weights of female rats following TCDD administration were examined. Rats were fed diets containing deficient (6 ppm), normal (35 ppm) and supplemented (120 ppm) iron for 17, 24 and 31 days. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 40 micrograms/kg/day P.O.) in corn oil or the vehicle was given on days 9, 8 and 7 prior to sacrifice. TCDD treatment produced a 3-fold increase in hepatic MDA content in animals on normal iron diet. TCDD administration failed to increased MDA content in iron deficient animals. In the iron supplemented groups, TCDD resulted in 2.5 fold increases in lipid peroxidation. Dietary iron had no effect on hepatic GSH-PX activity. Animals on the iron deficient diet had 12-21% decreases in hepatic GSH content. TCDD administration resulted in 15-22% decreases in GSH content in animals on the control and iron supplemented diets. TCDD treatment resulted in significant decreases in body weights of animals on all 3 diets. TCDD induced lipid peroxidation appears to be iron dependent. However, the loss in body weight due to TCDD toxicity may not be dependent on lipid peroxidation.
