ABSTRACT
Fadil M, Radhi MM, Hussein BF., Effect of gold on serum redox status in male
and female rabbits determined by cyclic voltammetry, Onl
J Vet Res., 24 (1):99-106, 2020. We determined
redox state of rabbit plasma in male and female rabbits given 2, 3 and 4mg/kg gold
(AuIV) by cyclic voltammetry. We detected oxidation–reduction
current peaks of Au(IV) ions before injection at 1 and
0.8 V respectively. The reduction peak was enhanced after dosing with Au(IV). Cyclic voltammogram of
plasma from female rabbits given 3mg/Kg AU at 1 and 12 weeks,
showed that the oxidation current peak declined but reduction peak increased
suggesting an antioxidant effect and/or inhibition of free radicals. In
contrast, in male plasma the oxidation peak appeared enhanced by gold ions but decreased
reduction peak. Results suggest that gold ions may enhance oxidation in male
rabbits.
