ABSTRACT
The effect of doxorubicin (DXR) on the levels of heart, liver and plasma lipids and plasma lipoproteins were studied in rats. Rats were treated with DXR (2.5 mg/kg body weight weekly for 8 weeks, iv) with or without alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TPL) (400 mg/kg body wt daily for 60 days) co-administration. DXR treated rats showed increase in plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids. The activities of lecithin cholesterol-acyl transferase and hepatic and extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase were lowered significantly with concomitant increase in liver and heart lipid peroxide levels in DXR treatment. HDL cholesterol level was found to be decreased significantly in DXR treated rats as a result of which there was an increase of LDLc/HDLc ratio. alpha-TPL coadministration brought back the enzyme activity to near normal and reduced the level of lipid peroxides. The lipid changes were minimum in rats treated with both alpha-TPL and DXR. This study suggests that the toxicity of DXR is reflected in lipids and lipoprotein profile.
