Abstract

Chronic cobalt exposure is characterized by severe cardiac insufficiency. Since the mechanisms of cobalt toxicity are not yet clear, we analysed the effects of chronic cobalt exposure on antioxidant enzyme activities and myocardial mitochondrial ATP production rate in a rat model. One group of rats was fed a conventional diet and another a cobalt supplemented diet for 24 weeks. The manganese-superoxide dismutase activity was markedly reduced in the cobalt rats (18±4.7 U/mg protein) compared to the control rats (100±22 U/mg protein; p
