ABSTRACT
The effect of doxorubicin on glucose metabolism was studied in rats with or without the supplementation of α-tocopherol. Rats were treated with doxorubicin, 2 mg/kg body wt. (intravenously), twice a week, for 6 weeks. α-Tocopherol (400 mg/kg body wt.) was co-administered orally for 2 months. Glycolysis was found to be increased with a significant decrease in the activities of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes. A significant increase in liver glycogen was noted in doxorubicin treated rats. Activities of glycogen Phosphorylase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase were found to be decreased. α-Tocopherol co-administration was found to reduce the alterations in the above mentioned enzyme activities. The results are discussed with reference to the drug metabolism, lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant nature of α-tocopherol.
