Abstract
This study was conducted as a trail to abrogates acrylamide induced hepatotoxicity in male rats by administration of copper (I) nicotinic acid complex. Animals were divided into 4 groups ;GI: control kept on balanced diet and tap water , GII: Acrylamide group received acrylamide in drinking water (7.5 mg/kg b.w.) for 30 days. GIII: treated with copper (I)-nicotinate complex (400 μg/kg b.w.) after acrylamide intoxication for 30 days and GIV the complex then acrylamide (prophylactic). Results showed significant increase in serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP, GGT and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in acrylamide group. Moreover a significant increase in tumer markers AFU and TNF-Alpha. while Levels of each of S. total protein and S. albumin were significantly decreased in ACR group compared with control. Histological study showed congestion of central vein in liver section and vacuolation of hepatocytes in ACR group. Anticancer activity using in-vitro cytotoxic assay of Cu (I) Nicotinate complex ; proves the anticancer properties of it comparing with doxorubicin. Treatment with Copper (I)-Nicotinate Complex restored tissue and serological indices concomitantly towards normal levels. These results revealed that Copper (I)-Nicotinate Complex is able to significantly alleviate the hepatotoxicity induced by AA in rats and could be utilized as a potent food additives.
