Öğe The activities of liver adenosine deaminase, xanthine oxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase enzymes and the levels of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide after cisplatin toxicity in rats: protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester(Sage Publications Inc, 2005) Yilmaz, HR; Sogut, S; Ozyurt, B; Ozugurlu, F; Sahin, S; Isik, B; Uz, EThe aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an antioxidant agent, on cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity through adenosine deaminase (AD), xanthine oxidase (XO), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in liver tissue of rats. Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: control group (n=6), cisplatin group (n=9) and CAPE+cisplatin group (n=8). All the chemicals used were applied intraperitoneally. Spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the activities of the above-mentioned enzymes in the liver tissue. NO level and XO activity were found to be increased in the cisplatin group compared to the control group. NO level was found to be decreased in the cisplatin+CAPE group in comparison with the cisplatin group. There was no significant change in the activity of XO between the cisplatin and cisplatin+CAPE groups. The activity of SOD was lower in the cisplatin group than both the control and cisplatin +CAPE groups. There was no significant change in the activity of CAT between the control and cisplatin groups. CAT activity was increased in the cisplatin+CAPE group compared to the cisplatin group. The AD activity and MDA level remained unchanged in all groups. The results obtained suggested that CAPE significantly attenuated the hepatotoxicity as an indirect target of cisplatin in an animal model of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.Öğe Effect of fish oil supplementation on plasma oxidant/antioxidant status in rats(Churchill Livingstone, 2004) Erdogan, H; Fadillioglu, E; Ozgocmen, S; Sogut, S; Ozyurt, B; Akyol, O; Ardicoglu, OThe aim of this study was to investigate effect of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the indices of in vivo lipid peroxidation and oxidant/antioxidant status of plasma in rats. The plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and nitric oxide (NO) levels, and activities of xanthine oxidase (XO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were studied in male Wistar Albino rats after ingestion of 0.4 g/ kg fish oil (rich in omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) for 30 days and compared to untreated control rats. The rats in the treated group had significantly higher SOD activity (P < 0.001), NO levels (P < 0.01) and decreased TBARS levels (P < 0.05) with respect to controls whereas GSH-Px and XO activities were not significantly different between the groups. None of the measured parameters had significant correlation with each other in both groups. We conclude that dietary supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids may enhance resistance to free radical attack and reduce lipid peroxidation. These results support the notion that omega-3 fatty acids may be effective dietary supplements in the management of various diseases in which oxidant/antioxidant defence mechanisms are decelerated.

Evidence is mounting for the role of abnormal phospholipid metabolism in some neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. As an important essential fatty acid (EFA), omega-3 (omega-3) fatty acid series are found in large amounts in fish oil. The aim of this experimental study was to assess the changes of some of the oxidant and antioxidant parameters in the hypothalamus of rats fed with omega-3 EFA diet (0.4 g/kg/day) for 30 days. Eight control rats and nine rats fed with omega-3 were decapitated under ether anesthesia, and hypothalamus was removed immediately. Malondialdehyde (NIDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme activities in the hypothalamus were measured. SOD activity was significantly decreased in omega-3 EFA treated group compared to control group (p < 0.014). Tissue NIDA and NO levels were also decreased in omega-3 EFA treated group compared to control rats (p < 0.0001). Xanthine oxidase activity was found to be increased in w-3 EFA treated rats when compared to the control group (p < 0.0001). Taken together, this preliminary animal study provides strong support for a therapeutic effect of omega-3 EFA in some neuropsychiatric disorders in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recently accused to be an important physiopathogenetic factor.

DHA is one of the building structures of membrane phospholipids of brain and necessary for continuity of neuronal functions. omega-3 EFA has been suggested to be protective against neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. This study proposed to assess the changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), xanthine oxidase (XO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) in the hippocampus of rats fed with omega-3 EFA diet (0.4 g/kg/day) for 30 days. Eight control rats and nine rats fed with omega-3 EFA were decapitated under ether anesthesia, and hippocampus was removed immediately. Rats treated with omega-3 EFA had significantly lower XO activity (p<0.002) and NO level (p<0.0001) whereas higher SOD activity (p<0.002) and MDA levels (p<0.019) than the control rats. These results suggest that the dietary omega-3 EFA may act on the oxidant/antioxidant parameters in hippocampus. On the other hand, although the mechanism is not clear, omega-3 EFA may enhance one of the most important antioxidant enzymes, SOD. Further studies are needed to clarify the molecular mechanism involved and the therapeutic implication of omega-3 EFA in animal psychosis models and clinical studies.
