[Methods] White Wistar rats were infected per os with 25 metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica. Application of (ZnxCu1-x)2(OH)3Cl salt started 6 weeks after the infection and was performed during 10 consecutive days. [Results] During the chronic stage of fasciolosis in the liver, a decrease of concentrations of vitamins C, E, A and of the trace elements Zn and Cu were observed together with a reduction of the Cu,Zn-superoxid dismutase (SOD) activity and an increase of catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Malondialdehyde concentration was elevated. Application of (ZnxCu1-x)2(OH)3Cl salt increased ihe concentrations mainly of vitamin E, but also of vitamin C and of the trace element Zn. On the other hand, only the activity of SOD was enhanced after salt treatrnent. [Conclusions] It seems that antioxidant imbalance was developed in the Fasciola hepatica infected liver rats during the chronic fasciolosis and that Zn-Cu salt improved the antioxidant defense abilities. |
