Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the renal and hepatic oxidative damage and toxicity caused by dietary high vanadium
in broilers. A total of 420 one-day-old avian broilers were divided into six groups and fed on a corn–soybean basal diet as
control diet (vanadium 0.073 mg/kg), and five high vanadium diets (vanadium 5 mg/kg, high vanadium group I; 15 mg/kg, high
vanadium group II; 30 mg/kg, high vanadium group III; 45 mg/kg, high vanadium group IV; and 60 mg/kg, high vanadium group
V) throughout the experimental period of 42 days. The results showed that the renal and hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD)
and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, ability to inhibit hydroxy radical, and malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione,
and vanadium contents were not significantly changed in high vanadium group I and II when compared with those of the control
groups. However, the SOD and GSH-Px activities, ability to inhibit hydroxy radical, and GSH content were significantly decreased,
and the MDA and vanadium contents were markedly increased in high vanadium groups III, IV, and V. At the same time, the lesions
were also observed in the kidney and liver of high vanadium groups III, IV, and V. The renal tubular epithelial cells showed
granular degeneration and vacuolar degeneration, and hepatocytes showed granular degeneration, vacuolar degeneration, and
fatty degeneration. It was concluded that dietary vanadium in the range of 30–60 mg/kg could cause oxidative damage and vanadium
accumulation, which induced renal and hepatic toxicity and lesions. The renal and hepatic function was finally impaired in
boilers. |
