MODIFICATION OF ORPIMENT (AS2S) TOXICITY BY DIETARY PROTEIN STATUS IN RATS

PURNIMA SINGH, RAJESH WAR SHARMA AND RAVI KIRAN

Abstract

Studies on liver and lung MFO enzyme activities show that high dietary protein (30%) protects against orpiment toxicity whereas low dietary protein (8%) potentiates orpiment toxicity in rats. The results imply that protein mal-nourished sections of the population using orpiment as drug might be more vulnerable to its toxic effects.
