title: [Evaluation of the combined effect of cupric chloride and sodium nitrite on selected biochemical parameters in rat plasma (subchronic exposure)].
abstract: The study was performed on 4 groups of male Wistar rats, receiving p.o. through 3 months every day: 1). Sodium nitrite in dose 30 mg/kg b.w. x day (0.2 LD50); 2). Cupric chloride in dose 4.67 mg/kg b.w. x day (0.03 LD50); 3 ). Cupric chloride and sodium nitrite in amounts as above, and 4). Control group--received dest. water. The activity of alanine aminotransferase (AlAT), aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGTP-ase) and creatinine and urea level in blood plasma were determined 24 hours after the last application of compounds. There was showed, that every day rats' intoxication with sodium nitrate during 90 days caused the significant increase of gamma-glutamyltransferase activity and decrease of urea level in the blood plasma. Subchronic exposure to copper and copper with sodium nitrate causes no effect on biochemical parameters were studied.
