Özet
Purpose To evaluate the radioprotective effect of spirulina (SP) on the lacrimal glands after RAI treatment. Methods A total of 30 rats were separated into control, RAI and SP group. The radioprotective effect of SP on lacrimal glands was evaluated with histopathological and cytopathological analysis. Lacrimal glands were analyzed for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels. Results RAI increased TNF-alpha (p = .001), IL-6 (p = .018), and NF-kappa B levels (p < .0005). Following the administration of SP, TNF-alpha (p < .0005), IL-4 (p = .026), and IL-6 (p = .006) levels decreased. RAI decreased the TAC levels (p = .001), and co-administration of SP increased the TAC level, but was not statistically significant. SP decreased the TOS level after RAI (p = .022) . Conclusions SP protects lacrimal glands from RAI-induced damage.
