L-蛋氨酸驱铅对小鼠体内微量元素的影响

目的　探讨L 蛋氨酸 (L Met)驱铅对小鼠体内微量元素Zn、Cu、Mn、Fe的影响。方法　分别给小鼠蒸馏水 (样本数 =1 0 ,正常对照组 )或 40 0 μg/ml(以Pb2 + 计 )的醋酸铅溶液 (样本数 =2 0 )作为饮用水 ,持续 1 0d,然后 ,停止喂铅 ;将染铅小鼠再随机均分为 2组 ,一组改用蒸馏水 (样本数 =1 0 ,Pb对照组 ) ,另一组改用 0 .5mg/mlL Met溶液 (样本数 =1 0 ,Pb +L Met组 )作为饮用水 ,持续进行 4周。实验开始和结束时 ,分别称取小鼠的体重。 4周后的第 1天 ,杀死所有动物 ,取出各组小鼠的肝、脑、脾、肾 ,用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法 (ICP)测定其中的Pb、Zn、Cu、Mn、Fe含量 ,并与正常对照组和Pb对照组进行比较。结果　Pb对照组小鼠肝、脑、脾、肾中Pb含量 (1 .490± 1 .654)、(3 .470±2 .757)、(4.975± 2 .993)、(0 .0 66± 0 .0 0 1 ) μg/g]明显高于正常对照组 (0 .0 1 5± 0 .0 0 1 )、(0 .0 0 9±0 .0 0 7)、(0 .0 2 7± 0 .0 0 2 )、(0 .0 0 6± 0 .0 1 5) μg/g] ,差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5) ;肝、脑、脾中Zn含量 ,肝、脑、脾、肾中Fe含量及Mn含量均明显低于正常对照组 ,差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5)。L Met组小鼠脑、脾中的Pb含量和肾Cu含量明显高于正常对照组 ,差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5) ;肝、脑、

Effect of L-methionine on trace elements in lead-intoxicated mice

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of L-methionine (L-Met) on the content of Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe in liver, brain, spleen and kidney of lead intoxicated mice. METHODS: Distilled water was given to 10 mice (normal control group) and lead acetate solution of 400 micro g/ml Pb(2+) to 20 mice to serve as drinking water for 10 days. The lead administration was then withdrawn and lead exposed mice were randomly divided into two groups: the lead control group took distilled water as drinking water for 4 weeks to serve as positive control, the other one took L-Met solution (0.5 mg/ml) as drinking water for 4 weeks (Pb + L-Met group) to serve as the treatment group. All the animals were sacrificed on the 1st day after 4 weeks, and the contents of Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb in liver, brain, spleen and kidney were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Emission Spectrometry. RESULTS: Lead contents in liver, brain, spleen and kidney of Pb control group (1.490 +/- 1.654) micro g/g, (3.470 +/- 2.757) micro g/g, (4.975 +/- 2.993) micro g/g, (0.066 +/- 0.001) micro g/g respectively], were higher than those in normal control group (0.015 +/- 0.001) micro g/g, (0.009 +/- 0.007) micro g/g, (0.027 +/- 0.002) micro g/g, (0.006 +/- 0.015) micro g/g, P < 0.05] while Zn contents in liver, brain, spleen and Fe and Mn content in liver, brain, spleen and kidney in Pb control group were lower than those in normal control group (P < 0.05). Pb contents of brain, spleen and Cu content of kidney in Pb + L-Met group were higher than those in normal control group (P < 0.05). Zn contents of liver, brain, spleen, Fe contents of liver, brain, spleen, kidney, and Mn contents of brain, spleen in Pb + L-Met group were lower than those in normal control group (P < 0.05). Fe contents of liver, brain, Zn content of spleen, Cu content of kidney and Mn contents of liver, brain, spleen in the Pb + L-Met group were higher than those in the Pb control group (P < 0.05). The lead levels of four organs in the Pb + L-Met group were lower than those in the Pb control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Lead could be eliminated by L-Met, which may affect the distribution and metabolism of trace elements in mice.
