dc.description.abstractAdrenomedullin (AdM) was originally discovered as a vasorelaxant peptide. The antioxidative properties of AdM have been reported recently. Through its antioxidative effect, adrenomedullin can protect organs from damage induced by stressors. Lead, commonly detected in air, soil, water and food, is a major source of oxidative stress. The effect of AdM in the liver of rats exposed to lead was investigated. Twenty-four female Wistar rats were divided into four groups: a control group (C), adrenomedullin group (AdM), lead (Pb) group and lead + adrenomedullin (Ph + AdM) group. In the Pb-treated groups, the animals were exposed to lead in drinking water containing 250 ppm PbCl2 for 4 weeks. In the AdM-treated group, the animals received an i.p. injection of AdM (3000 ng kg(-1) body weight) in the third week of lead treatment for I week. The activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the level of malondialdehyde (NIDA) were determined in the liver of rats. Histological changes in the liver were examined by light and electron microscopy as well. The NIDA levels were increased significantly in the Pb-treated groups, but in the Ph + AdM group the NIDA levels were decreased significantly when compared with the Ph group. AdM reduced hepatic damage in the Pb + AdM group, but the difference in the total histopathological scores between the Pb and Ph + AdM groups was not significant. When the results are taken together, it can be concluded that AdM may have protective or compensating effects in lead toxicity. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.en_US
