Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how exposure to malathion and carbon tetrachloride affects bioenergetic processes in rats and whether the enterosorbent enterosgel helps mitigate these effects.
  • Rats were divided into nine groups, receiving malathion daily and carbon tetrachloride twice, while measuring enzyme activity related to energy metabolism and glucose levels.
  • Results showed that enterosgel improved mitochondrial enzyme activity and reduced serum glucose, indicating a restoration of energy processes in the rats following toxic exposure.
