邻苯二甲酸二丁酯对大鼠睾丸生化酶及脂质过氧化的影响

目的 :探讨邻苯二甲酸二丁酯 (DBP)对睾丸生化酶及脂质过氧化的影响 ,为接触人群早期诊断及生物学监测提供参考评价指标。　方法 :选择 6周龄雄性SD大鼠随机分成 4组 ,每组 16只。灌胃给予DBP ,剂量为 0 (对照组 )、2 5 0、5 0 0、10 0 0mg/ (kg·d)。于染毒 2周和 4周末分别处死 8只大鼠 ,收集睾丸及其他脏器和血清 ,以 1∶3的比例制备睾丸匀浆。测定血清和睾丸匀浆中生化酶及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶 (GSHPx)的活性和谷胱甘肽 (GSH)的含量。　结果 :随DBP染毒剂量的增加 ,肝脏器系数明显上升 ,而睾丸脏器系数显著下降 (P <0 .0 1)。染毒 2周后 ,血清中GSHPx活性和睾丸匀浆中GSH水平下降趋势明显 ,而匀浆中GSHPx活性呈上升趋势 ,10 0 0mg/ (kg·d) 组与对照组相比 ,差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 )。染毒 4周后 ,血清中碱性磷酸酶活性呈上升趋势 ,血清和睾丸匀浆中山梨醇脱氢酶 (SDH )活性受到明显抑制 ,10 0 0mg/ (kg·d) 组与对照组相比差异均有显著性 (P <0 .0 1)。血清GSH水平呈上升趋势 ,10 0 0mg/ (kg·d) 组与对照组比较差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 )。　结论 :DBP可对机体产生明显的毒性作用 ,主要靶器官为肝脏和睾丸。脂质过氧化可能是DBP毒性作用的机制之一 ,SDH是DBP对睾丸毒性作用较为敏感的指标之一。

Effect of Dibutyl Phthalate on the Biochemical Enzymes and Lipid Peroxidation in Rat Testes

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) on the biochemical enzymes and lipid peroxidation in rats. METHODS: Healthy 6-week old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 16 in each. DBP dissolved in peanut oil was administered by gavage at dosages of 0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/(kg x d). After 2- and 4-week DBP exposure, 8 rats in each group were killed, with certain organs selected and weighed. The activities of biochemical enzymes and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the levels of glutathione (GSH) in the serum and testis homogenate were determined respectively. RESULTS: DBP induced a rise in the liver organ body weight ratio, but a fall in the testis organ body weight ratio, and it was significant in the highest exposure group compared with the control after either 2-week or 4-week treatment (P < 0.01). After 2-week DBP exposure, GSHPx activities in the serum and GSH levels in the testis homogenate showed a decreasing tendency, but GSHPx activities increased markedly in the testis homogenate (P < 0.05). After 4-week DBP exposure, while alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in the serum revealed an increasing tendency, sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) activities were inhibited significantly in both the serum and the testis homogenate at the dosage of 1000 mg/(kg x d) compared with the control group (P < 0.01). Furthermore, GSH contents in the serum were also affected at this dose (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that DBP administration strongly affects the liver and the testis organ body weight ratios. Lipid peroxidation is one possible toxic mechanism caused by DBP. SDH may be one of the most sensitive toxic indices when exposed to DBP.
