Silva SVE, Gallia MC, da Luz JRD, de Rezende AA, Bongiovanni GA, Araujo-Silva G, Almeida MDG. Antioxidant Effect of Coenzyme Q10 in the Prevention of Oxidative Stress in Arsenic-Treated CHO-K1 Cells and Possible Participation of Zinc as a Pro-Oxidant Agent. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14163265. [PMID: 36014770 PMCID: PMC9412518 DOI: 10.3390/nu14163265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzymes. Compounds with antioxidant properties, such as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), can reduce cellular imbalance caused by an increase in ROS. CoQ10 participates in modulating redox homeostasis due to its antioxidant activity and its preserving mitochondrial functions. Thus, the present study demonstrated the protective effects of CoQ10 against oxidative stress and cytotoxicity induced by arsenic (As). Antioxidant capacity, formation of hydroperoxides, generation of ROS, and the effect on cellular viability of CoQ10, were investigated to determine the protective effect of CoQ10 against As and pro-oxidant compounds, such as zinc. Cell viability assays showed that CoQ10 is cytoprotective under cellular stress conditions, with potent antioxidant activity, regardless of the concentration tested. Zn, when used at higher concentrations, can increase ROS and show a pro-oxidant effect causing cell damage. The cytotoxic effect observed for As, Zn, or the combination of both could be prevented by CoQ10, without any decrease in its activity at cellular levels when combined with Zn.

Li D, Ma H, Shu Q, Wang T, Li L, Huang P, Lou K, Xu H. Arsenite inhibits M2a polarization of macrophages through downregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2022; 450:116142. [PMID: 35777529 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2022.116142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Arsenite (As+3) is a group one human carcinogen, which has been associated with many diseases. Previous studies indicated that As+3 could inhibit wound healing and repair. M2a cells are known as tissue remodeling macrophages, which play an important role in wound repair process. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), a key regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism, was found to mediate the IL-4-dependent M2a polarization of macrophages. In the present study, As+3 induced dose-dependent inhibition of M2a polarization starting from 0.1 μM in THP-1-derived macrophages stimulated with 20 ng/mL IL-4. Increased lipid accumulation and decreased PPAR-γ expression were also observed in As+3-treated M2a macrophages. Rosiglitazone (RSG), a potent PPAR-γ agonist, alleviated the suppressions of PPAR-γ and M2a polarization induced by 2 μM As+3. Collectively, these results not only demonstrated that As+3 was able to inhibit polarization of M2a cells through PPAR-γ suppression, but also indicated that PPAR-γ could be utilized as a target for the prevention and treatment of As+3-induced immunotoxicity.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 227:112934. [PMID: 34755630 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Long-term consumption of arsenic-contaminated rice has become a public health issue that urgently needs to be addressed. In this study, mice were exposed to arsenic in rice (low dose, 0.91 mg/kg; medium dose, 9.1 mg/kg) for 30 days and 60 days, respectively, and the effects on pathological structures of spleen and skin, as well as the structure of the fecal microbiome were examined. The findings revealed dose/time cumulative effects on pathological changes, with even a low dose exposure for 30 days causing destruction of splenic follicular structure and thickening of dermal keratinized and epidermal layers. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the community and the positive/negative ratio in network links were higher in arsenic groups, suggesting that arsenic resulted in a less healthy and unstable microbiome for the host. Thus lifetime consumption of arsenic in rice may have potential health effects on humans and must be carefully assessed to safeguard human health. Furthermore, in arsenic groups, arsenic-resistant bacteria or arsenic hazards remediation bacteria changed to be the dominant bacteria and acted as the core bacteria in the network modules. Some microbial arsenic transforming genes (arsC, arsR, arsA, ACR3, and aoxB) differed, indicating that the gut microbiome changed to withstand arsenic stress. Furthermore, Faecalibaculum, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Angelakisella, Ruminiclostridium, and Desulfovibrionaceae are positively associated with arsenic dosage and may be useful in the early detection of arsenicals.

Abstract
Oral arsenic trioxide (ATO) has demonstrated a favorable clinical efficiency in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics, tissue bioaccumulation, and toxicity profiles of arsenic metabolites in vivo following oral administration of ATO have not yet been characterized. The present study uses high performance liquid chromatography-hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-HG-AFS) to assess the pharmacokinetics of arsenic metabolites in rat plasma after oral and intravenous administration of 1 mg kg-1 ATO. In addition, the bioaccumulation of arsenic metabolites in blood and selected tissues were evaluated after 28 days oral administration of ATO in rats at a dose of 0, 2, 8, and 20 mg kg-1 d-1. The HPLC-HG-AFS analysis was complemented by a biochemical, hematological, and histopathological evaluation conducted upon completion of ATO treatment. Pharmacokinetic results showed that arsenite (AsIII) reached a maximum plasma concentration rapidly after initial dosing, and the absolute bioavailability of AsIII was 81.03%. Toxicological results showed that the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and white blood cells (WBC) in the 20 mg kg-1 d-1 ATO group were significantly increased compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The distribution trend of total arsenic in the rat was as follows: whole blood > kidney > liver > heart. Dimethylated arsenic (DMA) was the predominant bioaccumulative metabolite in the whole blood, liver, and heart, while monomethylated arsenic (MMA) was the predominant one in the kidney. Collectively, these results revealed that oral ATO was rapidly absorbed, well-tolerated, and showed organ-specific and dose-specific bioaccumulation of arsenic metabolites. The present study provides preliminary evidence for clinical applications and the long-term safety evaluation of oral ATO in the treatment of APL.

Abstract
Introduction: Arsenic is an environmental toxic present worldwide. In men and animals, various organs and tissues are targets of its deleterious effects including those of the immune system.
Objective: To determine acute arsenic toxicity in tissues and target cells of Balb/c mice using an in vivo methodology.
Materials and methods: We injected Balb/c mice intraperitoneally with 9.5 or 19 mg/kg of sodium arsenite (NaAsO2), or an equivalent volume of physiological solution as a control (with 3 per experimental group). After 30 minutes, the animals were sacrificed to obtain spleen, thymus, liver, kidneys, and blood. We determined arsenic, polyphenols, and iron concentrations in each sample and we evaluated the oxidative markers (peroxides, advanced products of protein oxidation, and free sulfhydryl groups). In splenocytes from the spleen, cell viability and mitochondrial potential were also determined.
Results: The exposure to an acute dose of NaAsO2 reduced the mitochondrial function of splenocytes, which resulted in cell death. Simultaneously, the confirmed presence of arsenic in spleen samples and the resulting cytotoxicity occurred with a decrease in polyphenols, free sulfhydryl groups, and an alteration in the content and distribution of iron, but did not increase the production of peroxides.
Conclusion: These findings provide scientific evidence about changes occurring in biomarkers involved in the immunotoxicity of arsenic and offer a methodology for testing possible treatments against the deleterious action of this compound on the immune system.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to arsenite (As+3) is known to induce immunotoxicity. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells act as professional killers of tumor cells. Our previous report indicated that 500 ppb As+3 drinking water exposure induced significant DNA damage in the NK cells of C57BL/6 mice. Myricetin is a plant-derived flavonoid known as a strong antioxidant. In this study, daily administration of myricetin at 20 mg/kg was found to alleviate the cell population decrease and DNA damage in the NK cells of BALB/c mice exposed to 500 and 1000 ppb As+3 via drinking water. Oxidative stress and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibition were induced by As+3 at 1 and 2 μM in isolated mouse NK cells in vitro, which were attenuated by 20 μM myricetin. The mitigatory effect of myricetin on the PARP-1 inhibition in NK cells treated with As+3 was also found to be the result of its prevention of the zinc loss induced by As+3 on PARP-1. Collectively, these results demonstrated, for the first time, that myricetin could protect NK cells from As+3 induced DNA through attenuating oxidative stress and retaining PARP-1 activity, indicating that myricetin may be utilized for the prevention of the immunotoxicity induced by As+3 in NK cells.

Abstract
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant with multiorgan toxicity including immune organs such as spleen. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element in animal nutrition and exerts biological activity to antagonize organ toxicity caused by heavy metals. The objective of this study was to explore the underlying mechanism of the protective effects of Se against spleen damage caused by HgCl2 in chicken. Ninety male Hyline brown chicken were randomly divided into 3 groups namely Cont, HgCl2, and HgCl2+Se group. Chicken were provided with the standard diet and nontreated water, standard diet and HgCl2-treated water (250 ppm), and sodium selenite-treated diet (10 ppm) plus HgCl2-treated water (250 ppm), respectively. After being fed for 7 wk, the spleen tissues were collected, and spleen index, the microstructure of the spleen, and the indicators of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis as well as heat shock proteins (HSP) were detected. First, the results of spleen index and pathological examination confirmed that Se exerted an antagonistic effect on the spleen injury induced by HgCl2. Second, Se ameliorated HgCl2-induced oxidative stress by decreasing the level of malondialdehyde and increasing the levels of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity. Third, Se attenuated HgCl2-induced inflammation by decreasing the protein expression of nuclear factor kappa-B, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2, and the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12β, IL-18 as well as tumor necrosis factor-α. Fourth, Se inhibited HgCl2-induced apoptosis by downregulating the protein expression of BCL2 antagonist/killer 1 and upregulating the protein expression of B-cell lymphoma-2. Finally, Se reversed HgCl2-triggered activation of HSP 60, 70, and 90. In conclusion, Se antagonized HgCl2-induced spleen damage in chicken, partially through the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptotic signaling.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a worldwide immunotoxic agent that is in contaminated waters and consumed by mammals. Phytotherapy may counteract its harmful effects. Lantana grisebachii Stuck (LG, Verbenaceae) and its extract are proposed as protective, given vvits in vitro bioactivity. The aim was to determine the protective capacity of the aqueous LG extract on splenocytes exposed in vivo to arsenic. Splenocytes were obtained from an arsenicosis model (Wistar rats consuming orally 0 [control; C] or 5 mg/Kg/d of As) that received 0-100 mg/Kg/d of LG extract for 30 days. As content (total reflection X-ray fluorescence), fatty acid profile (gas chromatography), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity (Szasz method), peroxides (xylenol orange-based assay), and nitrites (Griess reaction) were then assayed in viable splenocytes. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and the Tukey's test (p < .05). It was observed that the splenocytes contained 2.2 mg/Kg of this elemental arsenic. With γ-glutamyl transpeptidase inhibition and consequent triggering of hydroperoxides (p < .05), it was observed to increase saturated fatty acids and alter lipid profiles. LG treatment avoided damaging effects with values similar to unexposed C (p < .05), and cellular arsenic concentration (p < .0001). In conclusion, the aqueous extract of L. grisebachii counteracted arsenic toxicity in rat splenocytes by preventing its cellular accumulation and induction of lipid and redox disturbances, which may impair immune function.

Abstract
Orlistat is an FDA-approved over-the-counter drug to treat obesity through the inhibition of lipase activity. Macrophages, which express high levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), are important phagocytes in the innate immune system. Our previous studies indicated that environmentally relevant concentrations of arsenite (As+3) could inhibit the major immune functions of macrophages. As the down-regulation of LPL is known to increase the expression of ABCA1, the cholesterol exporter demonstrated to be related to the resistance of arsenic toxicity. We examined if orlistat could reverse the inhibitive effects of As+3 on macrophage functions. The results showed that 50 μM orlistat reversed As+3-induced suppressions on phagocytosis, NO production and cytokine secretion in THP-1 derived macrophages. The expression of ABCA1 was significantly increased by orlistat in As+3 co-treated macrophages, which was associated with decreased intracellular As+3 levels. Collectively, these results indicated that orlistat could reverse the suppressive effects induced by As+3 in macrophages through the increased expression of ABCA1, which has the potential to be developed as a therapeutic agent for arsenic-induced immunosuppression.

Analysis of occurrence, bioaccumulation and molecular targets of arsenic and other selected volcanic elements in Argentinean Patagonia and Antarctic ecosystems. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 681:379-391. [PMID: 31108358 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.05.096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2018] [Revised: 05/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In Latin America, the high proportion of arsenic (As) in many groundwaters and phreatic aquifers is related to the volcanism of the Andean Range. Nevertheless, there is still very little published research on As and other elements occurrence, and/or transference to biota in Southern regions such as Argentinean Patagonia and the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica, where there are active volcanoes and geothermal processes. Therefore, this study was aimed to describe water quality from the main rivers of Argentinean Northern Patagonia through physicochemical analysis. The Patagonian and Antarctic biota (including samples of animal, plants, algae and bacteria) was characterized through the analysis of their As and other elemental concentrations (P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Se, Br, Rb and Sr), by synchrotron radiation x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (SRXRF). Finally, the analysis of metal and As-proteins associations in As-accumulating organisms was performed by SRXRF after sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). A wide range of metal concentration including As (up to 950 μg/L As) was found in water samples from Patagonian rivers. A hierarchical cluster analysis revealed that the elemental concentration of analysed biological samples was related to volcanic environments and their place in the trophic chain. Moreover, the results suggest that Se, Co, Cu, Br, and Cl are strong predictors of As in biota. On the other hand, As was not detected in proteins from the studied samples, suggesting biotransformation into soluble As-organic compounds. This is the first study to describe environmental pollution as a consequence of active volcanism, and its influence on water quality and elemental composition of biota in Argentinean Northern Patagonia and Antarctica.

Abstract
Exposure to arsenic (As) through drinking water results in accumulation of As and its methylated metabolites in several organs, promoting adverse health effects, particularly potential development of cancer. Arsenic toxicity is a serious global health concern since over 200 million people are chronically exposed worldwide. Abundant biochemical and epidemiological evidence indicates that the kidney is an important site of uptake and accumulation of As, and mitochondrial damage plays a crucial role in arsenic toxicity. However, non-destructive analyses and in situ images revealing As fate in renal cells and tissue are scarce or almost non-existent. In this work, kidney tissue from exposed rats was analyzed by EDXRF (Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence), micro-SRXRF (micro X-ray Fluorescence using Synchrotron Radiation), SRTXRF (SRXRF in total reflection condition), SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope in combination with EDXRF) and SRXRF-XANES (SRXRF in combination with X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy). Our results provide evidence of renal cortex distribution of As with periglomerular localization, co-localization of S, Cu and As in subcellular compartment of proximal tubule cells, mono-methylarsonous acid accumulation in renal cortex mitochondria, and altered subcellular concentration and distribution of other elements.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to arsenic is known to induce immunotoxicity. Macrophages are the professional phagocytes that are important in the immune system. In this study, we utilized the macrophages derived from the THP-1 human monocyte cell line as the experimental model to study the functional suppression induced by arsenite (As+3), one of the most prevalent forms of inorganic arsenic, at environmentally-relevant concentrations. Apoptosis was observed in the THP-1 derived macrophages treated with 500 nM As+3 for 18 h. Suppression of phagocytosis was induced by 18 h As+3 treatment starting from 100 nM. Suppressive effects on the production of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and TNF-α, were also found with the treatment of low to moderate doses of As+3 in lipopolysaccharides-stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages. The nitric oxide production was also inhibited by As+3 treatments, which was negatively correlated with the production of superoxide. Collectively, the results from the study demonstrated that environmentally-relevant concentrations of As+3 induced cytotoxicity and suppressed the major cellular functions in THP-1 derived macrophages. The macrophages were showed to be relatively sensitive to As+3, and could be the essential target of the toxicity induced by environmental arsenic exposures.

Abstract
Arsenic is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that exists in many inorganic and organic forms. In particular, arsenite is known to induce immunotoxicity in humans and animals. There are still major gaps in our understanding of the mechanism(s) of the immunotoxicity induced by arsenic at environmentally-relevant concentrations. T cells are an essential part of the immune system required for host resistance to infections and protection from cancer. Developing T cells in the thymus have been shown to be particularly prone to arsenite-induced toxicity at low concentrations. Suppression of DNA repair proteins and oxidative stress have been identified as a mechanism of genotoxicity that occurs at low to moderate concentrations. Inhibition of the IL-7 signaling pathway was thought to be responsible for the non-genotoxicity induced by low to moderate doses of arsenic. Interestingly, T cells at different stages of their development had distinct sensitivities to arsenite, which was regulated by arsenite exporters. The current evidence strongly suggests that low to moderate doses of arsenic induces toxic effects in the developing T cells and accumulates to highest levels in the early cells that are least capable to pump out arsenic, which may be the mechanism of the high arsenic sensitivity. Therefore, quantification of the exposure levels should be encouraged in future arsenic toxicity studies.

Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (As2O3), the most toxic form of arsenic found in foodstuffs, is considered a carcinogen for human and animal. But many of the events that occur during its passage through the gastrointestinal tract are uncharted in birds. This study assesses the toxic effect on the jejunum of chicken which subchronically exposed to diets that contain As2O3 (0, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 mg/kg body weight) for 90 days. Electron microscopy, TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), qPCR, and Western blot were performed. The results showed that mitochondrial fusion and apoptosis inhibiting genes had degressive trends, whereas mitochondrial fission and apoptosis activating genes presented heightened expressions in the treatment group compared with the control (P < 0.05). Subsequently, significant inhibition in PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling was observed. Moreover, the expression of autophagy markers (LC3-II/LC3-I, Beclin-1) increased time and dose-dependently. Additionally, metabolic disorders of trace elements were detected evidenced by their significant decreases (aluminum, silicon, calcium, manganese, strontium, titanium, lithium, boron, cobalt, mercury, chromium) and increases (arsenic, cadmium, selenium, lead, nickel) on 90 days using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). It is possible that the changes of trace elements have a hand in the come on and development of arsenism. Taken together, we conjectured that, in chicken jejunum, arsenic led to redistribution of trace elements, promoting apoptosis via regulating mitochondrial dynamics, leading to autophagy through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathways.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for organism of function properly. Overexposure to Cu causes chronic cardiac impairment. The aim of this study was to investigate the change of 28-trace element, inflammatory response, the possible mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis under Cu exposure in the heart of chickens. Cupric sulfate (CuSO4) (300 mg/kg) was administered in a basal diet to male Hy-line chickens (one-day-old) for 90 days. Results showed the concentrations of Cu in the Cu group were increased by 57.8%, 27.57% and 57.2% at 30, 60 and 90 days, respectively. The Cu supplement caused trace elements imbalance, including reduced concentrations of B, Al, Ni, Ba, Pb and increased Li, Na, Mg, Si, K, Ca, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, As, Mo in the heart of chickens. Exposure to Cu induced the TUNEL positive nuclei, histopathological alterations and ultrastructural apoptotic features. Moreover, Cu exposure activated the NF-κB-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreased the mRNA levels of opa1, mfn1, mfn2, Bcl-2, increased the mRNA levels of drp1, Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9, P53, while not altered Fas and caspase-8 compared with the control group. Similarly, western blot results showed the same trend of mRNA. Correlation analysis indicated that mitochondrial fission and intrinsic apoptosis might function synergistic. Moreover, mitochondrial network seem to function as cytosolic sensors for the induction of NF-κB mediated inflammatory responses. In summary, we speculated that Cu-induced redistribution of trace elements contributed to inflammatory response and disrupted the mitochondrial network via fission and intrinsic apoptosis in the heart of chickens.

Abstract
The contents of 28 trace elements, 17 amino acid were evaluated in muscular tissues (wings, crureus and pectoralis) of chickens in response to arsenic trioxide (As2O3). A total of 200 one-day-old male Hy-line chickens were fed either a commercial diet (C-group) or an As2O3 supplement diet containing 7.5mg/kg (L-group), 15mg/kg (M-group) or 30mg/kg (H-group) As2O3 for 90 days. The elements content was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Under As2O3 exposure, the concentration of As were elevated 8.87-15.76 fold, 7.93-15.63 fold and 5.94-12.45 fold in wings, crureus and pectoralis compared to the corresponding C-group, respectively. 19 element levels (lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), kalium (K), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), barium (Ba), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb), 9 element levels (K, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Sr, Sn, Ba and Hg) and 4 element levels (Mn, cobalt (Co), As, Sr and Ba) were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in wing, crureus and pectoralis, respectively. 2 element levels (sodium (Na) and zinc (Zn)), 5 element levels (Li, Na, Si, titanium (Ti and Cr), 13 element levels (Li, Na, Mg, K, V, Cr, iron (Fe), Cu, Zn, Mo, Sn, Hg and Pb) were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in wing muscle, crureus and pectoralis, respectively. Additionally, in crureus and pectoralis, the content of total amino acids (TAA) was no significant alterations in L and M-group and then increased approximately 10.2% and 7.6% in H-group, respectively (P < 0.05). In wings, the level of total amino acids increased approximately 10% in L-group, whereas it showed unchanged in M and H-group compared to the corresponding C-group. We also observed that significantly increased levels of proline, cysteine, aspartic acid, methionine along with decrease in the tyrosine levels in muscular tissues compared to the corresponding C-group. In conclusion, the residual of As in the muscular tissues of chickens were dose-dependent and disrupts trace element homeostasis, amino acids level in muscular tissues of chickens under As2O3 exposure. Additionally, the response (trace elements and amino acids) were different in wing, thigh and pectoral of chick under As2O3 exposure. This study provided references for further study of heavy metal poisoning and may be helpful to understanding the toxicological mechanism of As2O3 exposure in muscular tissues of chickens.
