    Effects of sulforophane and curcumin on oxidative stress created by acute malathion toxicity in rats
    (Verduci Publisher, 2012) Alp, H.; Aytekin, I.; Hatipoglu, N. K.; Alp, A.; Ogun, M.
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES, Organophosphate insecticides (OPIs) are widely used in agriculture and horticulture for controlling insects in crops, ornamentals, lawns, fruits, and vegetables. But, there have not yet any study about effects of sulforophane (SFN) and curcumin (CUR) on the oxidative stress created by acute toxic effects of malathion (MAL) as an OPI often causing human and animal poisoning. AIM, The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SFN and CUR on the oxidative stress created in the lung, liver, and kidney tissues of rats by acute MAL toxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS, Thirty-six mature Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200-250 g were used. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: unmedicated control, SFN, CUR, MAL control, MAL + SFN, and MAL + CUR. Tissue samples were analyzed for glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) levels in the lung, liver, and kidney tissues. Biochemical parameters were measured colorimetrically by using a spectrophotometer. RESULTS, No statistically significantly difference was found when comparing the unmedicated control, SFN, and CUR groups. MAL significantly increased MDA levels in the liver and kidney tissues, but SFN and CUR these levels. MAL did significantly reduce the GSH levels, but SFN and CUR increased these levels by blocking the MAL effect in the liver tissues. Also, MAL significantly increased the NO levels, depending on the severity of the tissue damage, and SFN and CUR attenuated to NO levels and remained under the effect of MAL. CONCLUSIONS, SFN and CUR, which showed similar effects, could be used to protect against the oxidative stress caused by acute malathion intoxication.

    Protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester, ellagic acid, sulforaphan and curcuma on malathion induced damage in lungs, liver and kidneys in an acute toxicity rat model
    (Ecole Nationale Veterinaire Toulouse, 2011) Alp, H.; Aytekin, I.; Esen, H.; Alp, A.; Buyukbas, S.; Basarali, K.; Hatipoglu, N. K.
    The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), ellagic acid (EA), sulforaphan (SFN) and curcuma (CUR) against acute malathion (MAL) poisoning in rats. For that, 60 female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 10 equal groups according to the treatment: whereas one group served as unmedicated control and another was intoxicated with malathion (200 mg/kg, per ox) and served as positive control, rats from the other groups were treated with each of the four antioxidants (CAPE: 10 mu mol/kg, intraperitoneally, EA: 85 mg/kg, per ox, SFN: 0.5 mg/kg, per os and CUR: 1 g/kg, per os) alone or in combination with malathion. One day later, serum AChE (acetylcholinesterase), amylase and GGT (gamma-glutamyltransferase) activities were determined and a histopathological evaluation was performed on lungs, kidneys and liver. In MAL-intoxicated rats, the AChE activity was markedly depleted whereas the GOT and amylase activities were significantly increased compared to the unmedicated controls. In parallel, severe and extended inflammatory and degenerative cell lesions were evidenced in liver, kidneys and lungs. By contrast, changes in the serum enzyme activities were greatly attenuated and the organ damage was also markedly reduced but not completely abrogated when an antioxidant cotreatment has been instituted. In addition, CUR appeared as the more efficient for hindering biochemical and histopathological alterations induced by malathion. These results show the protective effects of CAPE, EA, SFN and CUR on acute malathion poisoning in rats.
