— Rank order cytotoxicity <strong>of</strong> various metal salts in I-407 intestinal epithelial<br />

cells in terms <strong>of</strong> LC50 values—HgCl2 (32 µM) > CdCl2 (53 µM), CuCl2<br />

(156 µM) > Ti2SO4<br />

(377 µM) > Pb (NO3)2 (1.99 mM)<br />

Role <strong>of</strong> Glutathione, in the cytotoxicity <strong>of</strong> these metals by the assessment<br />

<strong>of</strong> GSH depletion by Butathionine sulfoxamine pretreatment at non<br />

cytotoxic concentration increased the toxicity <strong>of</strong> HgCl2 (5.7-fold), and<br />

CuCl2 (1.44-fold).<br />

Administration <strong>of</strong> glutathione, with either HgCl2 or CdCl2 did not protect<br />

the cells against the toxicity.<br />

N-acetyl cysteine reduced the cytotoxicity <strong>of</strong> mercury.<br />
