ABSTRACT
Habeeb KK, Hussein BF, Mohamed AA, Radhi
MM., Antioxidant effect of papyrus
protein on lead ion toxicity in female rabbits, Onl J
Vet Res., 25 (7):465-472,
2021. We describe effect of papyrus protein
supplement on plasma lead and antioxidants by voltametry
in young rabbits. Groups of 5 rabbits each were injected intraperitoneally
1mg/kg lead acetate 56 days. Controls were injected 1ml saline
intraperitoneally. Compared with lead levels at day 7, lead in blood
accumulated 46% by day 14, 68% at day 35 days and 79% (P <0.0001) by day 56.
In contrast in those given papyrus supplement with lead we found 6 to 27 fold
or 84 to 96% less lead acetate in blood throughout (P < 0.0001) equivalent
to a decline from 12.138 to 0.379 mg/l lead acetate in rabbits gavaged papyrus supplement. Papyrus protein compound
reduced (P<0.05) current oxidation peak of lead ions from 16.8 µA to 2.9 µA
or in average ~83% over the 8 week period. The findings suggest that papyrus
protein may bind strongly to lead acetate.
