英文摘要 |
The present study analyzed the effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim.) Maxim. ethanol extract on long-term (6-week) intoxication induced by intraperitoneal injections of 0.05 LD50 of cadmium chloride solution. The experiments were performed with white laboratory mice. Two groups of mice were injected with ethanol extract of E. senticosus: 0.05 LD50 and 0.10 LD50. Cadmium concentrations were investigated in blood, kidney, liver, spleen, heart, and skeletal muscle by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Long-term injections of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim.) Maxim. ethanol extract combined with CdCl2 led to significant increase of cadmium concentrations in the spleen, skeletal muscle, blood, kidney and liver of experimental mice. E. senticosus also decreased the mitotic activity of liver cells induced by cadmium. |
