摘要:Vitamin E (α-tocopherol), a well known naturally occurring chain breaking antioxidant and a free radical scavenger was found to exacerbate nickel (Ni) toxicity in mice. Vitamin E (Vit. E) mediated enhancement of nickel toxicity was demonstrated by (i) enhanced mortality in mice treated with Ni and Vit. E (ii) increased hepatic lipid peroxidation, (iii) increased rate of benzoate hydroxylation, and (iv) liposomal membrane damage.
