Abstract

Acrylamide (ACR) is an essential chemical which is extensively used in many industries and also in laboratories such as treatment of drinking water, waste water and soil, production of paper, and polishes, used as an additive in some cosmetics, used in electrophoresis and in dentistry for preparation of alloys; it is known as possible carcinogenic compound. French fries, commercially common chips and all carbohydrate containing diet are rich in acrylamide. In this study when Acrylamide is taken into the body, we investigated its toxic effect on body organs and investigated the protective role of selenium. Aim: The aim of this work is to detect acrylamide effects on liver and kidney of adult male albino rats and assess the protective role of selenium. Material and methods: Acrylamide was administrated orally at dose of (15 mg/kg body weight) (1/10 LD 50) daily for 8 weeks. Biochemical parameters in serum were studied: aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), total protiens, Albumin, Globulin, urea, creatinine, and uric acid. Liver and kidneys will be examined by light microscope to evaluate histopathological changes. Tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) was done. Results: The results after being statistically analyzed and tabulated revealed that oral Acrylamide adminstration showed a highly significant (P<0.001) elevation in aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), a highly significant (P<0.001) decrease in serum total protiens, albumin, globulin and highly significant (P<0.001) decrease in serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid levels comparing to control group. Light microscope examination of the hepatic tissue in acrylamide treated group showed obvious congestion associated with wide spread marked vacuolar degeneration as well as foci of spotty necrosis and kidneys showed marked congestion, marked hydropic degeneration of tubular epithelium and focal prominent tubular necrosis. There was a highly significant (P<0.001) increase in malondialdehyde level in acrylamide treated group comparing to control group. Selenium administration in addition to acrylamide showed significant decrease in aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), significant elevation in serum total protiens, albumin, globulin and significant increase in serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid levels comparing to acrylamide treated group. There was significant decrease in malondialdehyde level in acrylamide+sodium selenite treated group comparing to acrylamide treated group
