Can vitamin C affect the KBrO induced oxidative stress on left ventricular myocardium of adult male albino rats? A histological and immunohistochemical study.

Potassium bromate (KBrO) cardiotoxicity is not widely recognized, in spite of its well known oxidative cell and tissue damage. The wide exposure to KBrO in food and water necessitates finding of a simple and available antidote for its hazards like vitamin C. There are growing evidences that the regulation of redox reactions in cells is intimately tied to the levels of antioxidants.
