ABSTRACT
The effect of DEHP [di-(2-ethly hexyl) phthalate] on lipid peroxidation in the liver in rats and in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes incubated with it was studied. The doses of DEHP used in this study corresponded to the low levels of this substance leaching into blood stored in DEHP plasticised PVC bags. Increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, increased concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated dienes and decrease in the concentration of glutathione and vitamin E have been observed in the liver of rats administered DEHP. Primary cultures of rat hepatocytes incubated with DEHP also showed increase in the activity of these enzymes, increase in the concentration of MDA and decrease in vitamin E. These results indicate that DEHP promotes lipid peroxidation. Incorporation of vitamin E along with DEHP into the culture medium containing hepatocytes counteracted these effects.
