Lead Nitrate Induced Toxic Effects on Small Intestine Tissues in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Rats: Role of Sodium Selenite

In this study, diabetic and non-diabetic male rats were given to sodium selenite, lead nitrateinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LN); and sodium selenite plus lead nitrate through gavage. LN led to histopathological changes in small intestine tissue of non-diabetic LN and non-diabetic sodium selenite+LN groups. We observed that supplementation of sodium selenite has protective role on histopathological changes in small intestine tissue when the non-diabetic sodium selenite+LN group compared with non-diabetic LN group. In diabetic control group, histopathological changes in small intestine tissue are detected. Treatment of LN to diabetic rats caused seriously histopathological alterations. Sodium selenite treatment didn’t show preventive effect on LN-induced toxicity in diabetic rat.
