Objective To study the effects of resveratrol against toxicity induced by arsenic trioxide in rats. Methods Arsenic trioxide was given to SD rats intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. Resveratrol was injected intraperitoneally to the animals 4 h before arsenic trioxide challenge at dose of 30
60
or 120 mg·kg
-1
·d-1. Four weeks later
the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA)
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
nitric oxide (NO)
glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in serum
lung
spleen
liver and brain tissues were measured. Results Compared with the normal control rats
arsenic trioxide challenge resulted in increases of NO and MDA contents in serum
lung
spleen
liver and brain tissues
and decreas
es of GSH-Px and SOD levels in the rats received arsenic trioxide only. Resveratrol significantly inhibited these changes induced by arsenic trioxide in rat serum
lung
spleen
liver and brain tissues in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Resveratrol can protect antiperoxidase activity and inhibit peroxide productions.
