| Abstract | This study determined the effect of supplementing rabbit diet with palm oil (PO) on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes and ATPases of different sections of the eyes in ocular cadmium toxicity. Twenty male New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to 4 groups of 5 rabbits in a study that lasted for 4 weeks. The control was given deionised water as eye drops and the other groups of rabbits were given eye drops of solution of 2mgkg(-1) body wt cadmium (as 3CdSO(4).8H(2)O). One test group was fed with the normal chow alone and the other test groups were fed with the chow fortified with either 5% or 10% palm oil. Ocular treatment of rabbit with cadmium significantly (P<0.05) reduced their weight compared with the control. Feeding the animals with palm oil (PO) improved the weights of the animals and decreased cadmium accumulation in the eye tissues. Lipid peroxidation level was raised by cadmium in the cornea, lens and retina with palm oil supplementation of the animal diet significantly (P<0.05) reducing the level of lipid peroxidation of the retina. Cadmium significantly (P<0.05) reduced antioxidant enzymes and ATPases in the eye tissues compared with the control. Feeding the rabbits with PO significantly (P<0.05) increased the activities of these enzymes in the retina to levels comparable with the control, with the 10% supplementation producing a more pronounced effect. The study shows that PO can alter cadmium accumulation, antioxidant enzymes and ATPases in ways which suggest that it offers protection of the eyes from ocular exposure to cadmium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
