OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.Xylene is a common pollutant in the environment that enters the body of animals and humans in various ways, but most often through the respiratory tract and adversely affects their overall health. However, xylene effects after oral exposure have not been sufficiently studied. This study aimed to investigate the effects of xylene exposure on the mouse organism and to identify possible beneficial effects of flaxseed on such exposure. Eighty mice were divided into four groups: control group C (basal diet + no xylene exposure), group X (oral exposure by 400 mg/kg/day xylene), group F (10% flaxseed supplementation of basal diet), and group XF (10% dietary flaxseed + oral exposure by xylene). Experimental trial took 14 days. Clinical examination, spectroscopic analysis of tissue aminotransferases, total lactate dehydrogenase (TLDH), and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activities, electrophoretic analysis of LDH isoenzymes, western blot and immunohistochemical analysis of apoptosis as well as routine histology of the kidneys and jejunum, and transmission electron microscopy of the liver were performed. Marked restlessness in group X and high weight losses in mice of all groups were recorded during the experiment. Xylene promoted apoptosis (caspase-3 expression) without causing marked structural changes in the liver and jejunum, although renal cortex structure was affected adversely. In the brain, liver, and kidney of mice, xylene increased levels of liver transaminases, LDH, and decreased AchE activities, reflecting cell membrane damage. Flaxseed feeding improved animal behaviour, leakage of enzymes and prevented selected tissue toxic damage induced by xylene by protecting cell membrane integrity and fluidity and by suppressing apoptosis. These results point at the protective effect of flaxseed consumption on mice.
