The Effect of Mercury in Iron Metabolism in Rats
سال
: 2012
چکیده: Chelation therapy has a long history of use in clinical toxicology to remove heavy metal toxicity from the body. The present research aimed to investigate the potential efficiency of Deferasirox and Deferiprone in removing mercury after its administration for 60 days following two dose levels of 40 mg Hg2+/kg body weight (Low dose drinking of mercury) and 80 mg Hg2+/kg body weight (High dose drinking of mercury) to male Wistar rats every day. After mercury administration some abnormal clinical signs observed in animals. Also after acute exposure of rats to mercury, decreased plasma concentration of iron, therefore it can be cause iron deficiency anemia. Our results showed that the effect of mercury on hematological indices was statistically significant and confirmed the iron deficiency anemia in rats. Combination therapy with Deferasirox and Deferiprone cause that the mercury level present in blood serum was significantly reduced and simultaneously, iron concentrations returned to the normal level and the symptoms of toxicity also were reduced. Also iron deficiency anemia that caused by mercury administration obviated.
