The Effect Of Cassava Cyanide On The Antioxidant (Glutathione) And Some Clinically Important Enzymes Of Rat
ABSTRACT
The effect of cassava cyanide on the
antioxidant (glutathione) status and sonic clinically important efl7vflleS were
investigated chemically and enzymatically in wale albino whistle rats td for 30
days with high cassava diet containing 5.5 mg 1000- I) CN- and 3% and 10%
protein supplement. Urinary cyanide and thiocyanate analysis was carried out in
both treated and control animals. The mean urinary cyanide and thiocyanate
levels were /1 75mg/I and 2.4 I mg/I atIer 30 days respectively. The mean glutathione
levels were 5.4 1 1 .2 for rats on 3%proteinand 3.63+ 1 .09 for those on 10%
protein and 7.4 4- 0.47 for control during the period of investigation showing
depletion in blood glutathione with increase in cassava cyanide intake.
Decreased concentration of both albumin and protein of blood were measured
indicating reduced protein synthesis. The toxicological implication of there
finding are discussed.
