Abstract
La interacción entre elementos tóxicos y esenciales,
así como de elementos esenciales entre sí, condiciona tanto la
acumulación de estos elementos en el organismo como sus efectos
nocivos. En este estudio se evaluaron las correlaciones entre
los niveles de cobre y los elementos tóxicos (cadmio, plomo) y
esenciales (molibdeno, hierro, selenio, zinc, manganeso y cobalto)
en dos tejidos (hígado y riñón) de 195 terneros procedentes
de la comarca del Deza (NO de España), una zona donde hay
una intensa ganadería de porcino en intensivo y los animales
presentan con frecuencia niveles muy elevados de cobre en hígado.
Los niveles de metales se determinaron por ICP-OES y las
correlaciones entre elementos se calcularon empleando el coeficiente
de correlación de Spearman. Los resultados de nuestro
estudio indican que la exposición a niveles elevados de cobre en
terneros en la comarca del Deza da lugar a una mayor deposición
de plomo a nivel hepático, una menor acumulación de cadmio
en hígado y a nivel renal a una tendencia en el mismo sentido.
En cuanto a los elementos esenciales, el carácter positivo
de las correlaciones encontradas entre cobre, molibdeno, zinc e
hierro indica que la exposición a niveles altos de cobre en nuestros
animales no parece tener un efecto antagónico sobre dichos
elementos directamente relacionados con el estatus y necesidades
fisiológicas de cobre. Por el contrario, la asociación entre los
niveles de cobre y selenio a nivel orgánico podría indicar un
daño oxidativo en los animales expuestos a niveles altos de
cobre, o de forma alternativa, un papel potenciador del selenio
en la acumulación de cobre a nivel hepático
Interactions between toxic and essential metals, as well as among essential metals themselves, can modulate their accumulation and toxicity. In this study, correlations between copper and toxic (cadmium, lead) and essential elements (molybdenum, iron, selenium, zinc, manganese and cobalt) were evaluated in tissues (liver, kidney) of 195 calves from the region of Deza (NW of Spain), where there is intensive pig farming and the animals usually have high hepatic copper concentrations. Metal concentrations were determined by ICP-OES, and correlations between pairs of elements were determined from Spearman rank correlations. Our results indicated that the high copper exposure in calves in the region of Deza lead to a higher hepatic lead deposition, a lower cadmium accumulation in liver, and a lower cadmium accumulation in the kidney. In relation to the essential elements, the positive association among copper, molybdenum, iron and zinc indicate that the high copper exposure in our animals does not have an antagonistic effect on these essential elements that is directly related to copper status. On the contrary, the association between copper and selenium could indicate that animals exposed to high copper levels are suffering oxidative damage, or alternatively, the potential role of selenium on copper accumulation in the liver
