[Oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy with alpha-lipoic acid inclusion in acute poisoning by herbicide based on 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid]

Abstract

In patients with acute poisoning amine salt herbicide 2,4-D develops oxidative stress with simultaneous inhibition of intracellular and extracellular antioxidant factors. These changes are more pronounced with neurological disorders that occur in conjunction with a toxic damage of liver or heart. The inclusion of a comprehensive detoxification therapy alpha-lipoic acid not only promotes a more pronounced therapeutic effect but also an earlier recourse cytolytic syndrome, a marked recovery of levels of malondialdehyde and indices of antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase and ceruloplasmin) than for patients in the comparison group.
