Wheat bran had a protective effect against diquat toxicity in rats fed a purified diet (PD). We studied the effects of wheat bran on the antioxidant system in the liver of rats treated with saline and diquat. Although feeding wheat bran did not affect the concentration of hepatic non-protein sulfhydryl or the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the saline-injected rats, these values were significantly higher in the rats fed PD containing wheat bran (W-PD) than in rats fed only PD after administering diquat. The glutathione peroxidase and reductase activities were significantly elevated by wheat bran in the saline-injected rats. Although the glutathione peroxidase activity was unchanged in both the PD-fed rats and W-PD-fed rats after the diquat treatment, the glutathione reductase activity was significantly decreased in both the PD-fed and W-PD-fed rats. Feeding the rats with PD containing 0.15 ppm selenium as well as with W-PD elevated the activity of hepatic glutathione peroxidase and attenuated the diquat toxicity. These results indicate that wheat bran protected against diquat toxicity by activating the hepatic antioxidant system, and that selenium was the key antioxidant in wheat bran.
