The Effects of Sumac Consumption on Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Factors: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials. Curr Pharm Des 2024; 30:2142-2151. [PMID: 38920072 DOI: 10.2174/0113816128305609240529114411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhus coriaria L., commonly known as Sumac, is a plant from the Anacardiaceae family that is known for its high phytochemical content. These phytochemicals have the potential to effectively manage inflammation and oxidative stress. To explore the existing evidence on the impact of Sumac consumption on inflammation and oxidative stress, we conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to August 2023 to identify relevant studies examining the effects of Sumac on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress. The selected studies were assessed for risk of bias using the Cochrane tool. RESULTS A total of seven trials were included in this review. Among these trials, three focused on diabetes patients, while the remaining four involved individuals with fatty liver, overweight individuals with depression, and those with polycystic ovary or metabolic syndrome. Five studies reported the effects of Sumac on oxidative stress, with four of them demonstrating a significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and an increase in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1). Regarding inflammation, one study reported no significant difference in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels between the intervention and control groups. The results for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, reported in five trials, were inconsistent. CONCLUSION Sumac consumption over time may positively affect oxidative stress, although short-term use shows minimal impact. While one study found no significant effect on IL-6 and TNF-α, hs-CRP levels could decrease or remain unchanged. Further meta-analyses are needed to fully understand Sumac's potential benefits in managing metabolic diseases.

Meftahi GH, Aboutaleb N. Gallic acid ameliorates behavioral dysfunction, oxidative damage, and neuronal loss in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in stressed rats. J Chem Neuroanat 2023; 134:102364. [PMID: 38016595 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchemneu.2023.102364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is known to be a natural phenolic compound with antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. This study aims to investigate the impact of GA against restraint stress-induced oxidative damage, anxiety-like behavior, neuronal loss, and spatial learning and memory impairment in male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into four groups (n = 8) and subjected to restraint stress for 4 h per day for 14 consecutive days or left undisturbed (control without inducing stress). In the treatment group, the animals were treated with 2 mL normal saline plus 100 mg/kg GA per day for 14 consecutive days (STR + GA group). The animals received the drug or normal saline by gavage 2 h before inducing restraint stress. ELISA assay measured oxidative stress factors. Elevated-plus maze and Morris water maze tests assessed anxiety-like behavior and spatial learning and memory, respectively. Also, neuronal density was determined using Nissl staining. Restraint stress significantly increased MDA and reduced the activities of GPX and SOD in the stressed rats, which were reserved by treatment with 100 mg/kg GA. Restraint stress markedly enhanced the anxiety-like behavior and spatial learning and memory impairment that were reserved by GA. In addition, treatment with GA reduced the neuronal loss in the stressed rats in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) regions. Taken together, our findings suggest that GA has the potential to be used as a good candidate to attenuate neurobehavioral disorders as well as neuronal loss in the hippocampus and PFC induced by restraint stress via reducing oxidative damage.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest primary brain tumor in adults due to the high rate of relapse with current treatment. Therefore, the search for therapeutic alternatives is urgent. Gallic acid (GA), a potent natural antioxidant, has antitumor and modulatory actions on purinergic signaling. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of GA on the rat GBM (C6) cell line and on astrocyte culture and analyzed its role in regulating oxidative stress and purinergic enzymes involved in GBM proliferation. Cells were exposed to GA from 50 to 400 µM for 24 and/or 48 h. Next, the effect of GA was evaluated in the preclinical model of GBM. Wistar rats were treated with 50 or 100 mg/kg of GA for 15 days, and cerebral and systemic redox status and degradation of adenine nucleotides and nucleosides in circulating platelets, lymphocytes, and serum were evaluated. Our results demonstrated that GA has selective anti-glioma activity in vitro, without inducing cytotoxicity in astrocyte. Furthermore, GA prevented oxidative stress and changes in the hydrolysis of nucleotides in GBM cells. The anti-glioma effect was also observed in vivo, as GA reduced tumor volume by 90%. Interestingly, GA decreased the oxidative damage induced by a tumor in the brain, serum, and platelets, and, also prevented changes in the degradation of nucleotides and nucleosides in lymphocytes, platelets, and serum. These results indicate, for the first time, the therapeutic potential of GA in a preclinical model of GBM, whose effects may be related to its role in redox and purinergic modulation.

The antioxidant gallic acid induces anxiolytic-, but not antidepressant-like effect, in streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Metab Brain Dis 2018; 33:1573-1584.

Abstract
The physiopathology of anxiety or depression related to diabetes is still poorly understood. The treatment with antidepressant drugs is a huge challenge due to theirs adherence low rate and many adverse effects. Thus, the seeking for a better treatment for these associated diseases is of utmost importance. Given that the oxidative stress in different tissues occurs in diabetes and anxiety or depression as well, the antioxidant gallic acid becomes an interesting compound to be investigated. Thus, the effects of long-term treatment with gallic acid (0, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg; gavage) were evaluated in diabetic (DBT) animals submitted to the elevated plus-maze (EPM), the light-dark transition (LDT) tests and modified forced swim test (mFST). Also, indirect parameters of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation (LPO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were evaluated in the hippocampus (HIP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC). The results showed that DBT animals presented a decrease in the spent time in the open arms, in the end arm exploration and head dips when evaluated in the EPM test; moreover, a decrease in the spent time in the lit compartment of LDT test was observed, suggesting an anxiogenic-like behavior. During the mFST, an increase in the mean counts of immobility and a decrease in the mean counts of swimming and climbing were observed, indicating a depressive-like behavior. These aversive behaviors were more pronounced when compared to normoglycemic (NGL) animals and streptozotocin-treated animals that not become DBT. In addition, DBT rats showed an increase in the oxidative stress parameters in the HIP and PFC that was reversed by the gallic acid treatment (lowest dose - 10 mg/kg), i.e., the treatment decreased the elevated LPO levels and increased the reduced GSH in the HIP and PFC. Also, gallic acid treatment was able to produce an anxiolytic-like effect in the EPM and LDT tests, but not antidepressant-like effect in the FST. Taken together, the results suggest that the antioxidant/neuroprotective effect of gallic acid treatment in HIP and PFC of DBT animals may be essential to the anxiolytic-like effect.

Abstract
In this work, we evaluated the effects of Psidium cattleianum (Red Type) (PcRT) fruit extract on metabolic, behavioral, and neurochemical parameters in rats fed with a highly palatable diet (HPD) consisted of sucrose (65% carbohydrates being 34% from condensed milk, 8% from sucrose and 23% from starch, 25% protein and 10% fat). Animals were divided into 4 groups: standard chow, standard chow + PcRT extract (200 mg/Kg/day by gavage), HPD, HPD + extract. The animals were treated for 150 days. Concerning chemical profiling, LC/PDA/MS/MS analysis revealed cyanidin-3-O-glucoside as the only anthocyanin in the PcRT extract. Our results showed that the animals exposed to HPD presented glucose intolerance, increased weight gain and visceral fat, as well as higher serum levels of glucose, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and interleukin-6. These alterations were prevented by PcRT. In addition, HPD caused an increase in immobility time in a forced swimming test and the fruit extract prevented this alteration, indicating an antidepressant-like effect. PcRT treatment also prevented increased acetylcholinesterase activity in the prefrontal cortex caused by HPD consumption. Moreover, PcRT extract was able to restore Ca2+-ATPase activity in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum, as well as Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. PcRT treatment decreased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, nitrite, and reactive oxygen species levels and prevented the reduction of superoxide dismutase activity in all cerebral structures of the HPD group. Additionally, HPD decreased catalase in the hippocampus and striatum. However, the extract prevented this change in the hippocampus. Our results showed that this berry extract has antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects, and neuroprotective properties, proving to be a potential therapeutic agent for individuals with metabolic syndrome.

Effect of gallic acid on purinergic signaling in lymphocytes, platelets, and serum of diabetic rats. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 101:30-36.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased susceptibility to various infections, which might be attributed to changes in immune response owing to chronic hyperglycemia. Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), 5'-nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) are important enzymes involved in the generation of anti-aggregant and anti-inflammatory microenvironments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gallic acid (GA) on the hematological parameters and ectonucleotidase activities in platelets, lymphocytes, and serum of diabetic rats. Experimental rats were categorized into 4 groups: (i) control -saline, (ii) control - GA, (iii) diabetic -saline, and (iv) diabetic - GA. One week after induction of DM using streptozotocin (65 mg/kg), GA (30 mg/kg) or saline was orally administered to the rats for 21 days. Our results demonstrated that the concentration of mean corpuscular hemoglobin was decreased, whereas that of red cell distribution was increased in the diabetic group, however, GA could revert these alterations. Moreover, in diabetic rats, GA reverted the increase in ATP and ADP hydrolysis and ADA activity in lymphocytes, and it prevented the increase in NTPDase and ADA activities in platelets. A decrease in ATP hydrolysis and an increase in ADP and AMP hydrolysis were observed in the serum of diabetic rats; however, GA treatment could solely revert changes in ATP hydrolysis. Our study suggests that GA exhibits beneficial effects on immuno- and thrombo-regulatory responses in DM and that these effects may be related to the modulation of purinergic signaling.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder, is associated with neurological complications such as depression, anxiety, hypolocomotion, cognitive dysfunction, phobias, anorexia, stroke, pain, etc. Traditional system of medicine is long known for its efficient management of diabetes. The current review discusses the scope of some common medicinal herbs as well as secondary metabolites with a special focus on diabetes-mediated central nervous system complications. Literatures suggest that natural products reduce diabetes-mediated neurological complications partly by reducing oxidative stress and/or inflammation or apoptosis in certain brain regions. Natural products are known to modulate diabetes-mediated alterations in the level of acetylcholinesterase, choline acetyltransferase, monoamine oxidase, serotonin receptors, muscarinic receptors, insulin receptor, nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and neuropeptide in brain. Further, there are several natural products reported to manage diabetic complications with unknown mechanism. In conclusion, medicinal plants or their secondary metabolites have a wide scope and possess therapeutic potential to effectively manage neurological complications associated with chronic diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterised by hyperglycaemia associated with the increase of oxidative stress. Gallic acid has potent antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gallic acid on the biochemical, histological and oxidative stress parameters in the liver and kidney of diabetic rats. Male rats were divided in groups: control, gallic acid, diabetic and diabetic plus gallic acid. DM was induced in the animals by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (65mg/kg). Gallic acid (30mg/kg) was administered orally for 21days. Our results showed an increase in reactive species levels and lipid peroxidation, and a decrease in activity of the enzymes superoxide dismutase and delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase in the liver and kidney of the diabetic animals (P<0.05). Gallic acid treatment showed protective effects in these parameters evaluated, and also prevented a decrease in the activity of catalase and glutathione S-transferase, and vitamin C levels in the liver of diabetic rats. In addition, gallic acid reduced the number of nuclei and increased the area of the core in hepatic tissue, and increased the glomerular area in renal tissue. These results indicate that gallic acid can protect against oxidative stress-induced damage in the diabetic state.

Abstract
Diabetic patients and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) models exhibit signals of brain dysfunction, evidenced by neuronal damage and memory impairment. Astrocytes surrounding capillaries and synapses modulate many brain activities that are connected to neuronal function, such as nutrient flux and glutamatergic neurotransmission. As such, cognitive changes observed in diabetic patients and experimental models could be related to astroglial alterations. Herein, we investigate specific astrocyte changes in the rat hippocampus in a model of DM induced by STZ, particularly looking at glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100B protein and glutamate uptake, as well as the content of advanced glycated end products (AGEs) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as a consequence of elevated hyperglycemia and the content of receptor for AGEs in the hippocampus. We found clear peripheral alterations, including hyperglycemia, low levels of proinsulin C-peptide, elevated levels of AGEs in serum and CSF, as well as an increase in RAGE in hippocampal tissue. We found specific astroglial abnormalities in this brain region, such as reduced S100B content, reduced glutamate uptake and increased S100B secretion, which were not accompanied by changes in GFAP. We also observed an increase in the glucose transporter, GLUT-1. All these changes may result from RAGE-induced inflammation; these astroglial alterations together with the reduced content of GluN1, a subunit of the NMDA receptor, in the hippocampus may be associated with the impairment of glutamatergic communication in diabetic rats. These findings contribute to understanding the cognitive deficits in diabetic patients and experimental models.

Gallic acid ameliorates renal functions by inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK in experimentally induced type 2 diabetic rats and cultured rat proximal tubular epithelial cells. Chem Biol Interact 2015; 240:292-303.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients that accounts for about 40% of deaths in type 2 diabetes. p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), a serine-threonine kinase, plays an important role in tissue inflammation and is known to be activated under conditions of oxidative stress and hyperglycemia. The role of p38 MAPK has been demonstrated in DN, and its inhibition has been suggested as an alternative approach in the treatment of DN. In the present study, we investigated the nephroprotective effects of an anti-inflammatory phenolic compound, gallic acid (GA, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), in high fat diet/streptozotocin (HFD/STZ) induce type 2 diabetic wistar albino rats. GA (25 mg/kgbw and 50 mg/kgbw, p.o.) treatment for 16 weeks post induction of diabetes led to a significant reduction in the levels of blood glucose, HbA1c, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria as well as a significant reduction in the levels of creatinine clearance. GA significantly inhibited the renal p38 MAPK and nuclear factor kappa B (N-κB) activation as well as significantly reduced the levels of renal transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and fibronectin. Treatment with GA resulted in a significant reduction in the serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines viz. interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Moreover, GA significantly lowered renal pathology and attenuated renal oxidative stress. In cultured rat NRK 52E proximal tubular epithelial cells, GA treatment inhibited high glucose induced activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB as well as suppressed proinflammatory cytokine synthesis. The results of the present study provide in vivo and in vitro evidences that the p38 MAPK pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of DN, and GA attenuates the p38 MAPK-mediated renal dysfunction in HFD/STZ induced type 2 diabetic rats.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has for long been linked to the neuronal cell death in many neurodegenerative conditions. Conventional antioxidant therapies have been less effective in preventing neuronal damage caused by oxidative stress due to their inability to cross the blood brain barrier. Nanoparticle antioxidants constitute a new wave of antioxidant therapies for prevention and treatment of diseases involving oxidative stress. It is believed that nanoparticle antioxidants have strong and persistent interactions with biomolecules and would be more effective against free radical induced damage. Nanoantioxidants include inorganic nanoparticles possessing intrinsic antioxidant properties, nanoparticles functionalized with antioxidants or antioxidant enzymes to function as an antioxidant delivery system. Nanoparticles containing antioxidants have shown promise as high-performance therapeutic nanomedicine in attenuating oxidative stress with potential applications in treating and preventing neurodegenerative conditions. However, to realize the full potential of nanoantioxidants, negative aspects associated with the use of nanoparticles need to be overcome to validate their long term applications.

Abstract
Different polyphenol compounds are ingested when consuming a serving of fruits rich in polyphenols, spanning from one-phenol hydroxybenzoic acid to more complex polymeric compounds. Only a minor quantity of the polyphenols (5-10%) is absorbed. The remainder reaches the colon and is extensively metabolized by gut microbiota to low-molecular weight metabolites. Their subsequent tissue distribution is still undefined, although these microbial metabolites are currently believed to play a role in human health and disease states. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed a pharmacokinetics experiment in which a single bolus of 23 polyphenol microbial metabolites (total 2.7 μmol) was administered intravenously to rats to reliably reproduce a physiological postabsorption situation. Tissues and urine were collected shortly thereafter (15 s to 15 min) and were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS to quantitatively track these compounds. Remarkably, the brain was found to be a specific target organ for 10 of the 23 polyphenol metabolites injected, which significantly increased in the treated animals. In most cases, their appearance in the brain was biphasic, with an early wave at 2 min (4 compounds) and a second wave starting at 5 min; at 15 min, 9 compounds were still detectable. Most compounds were excreted into the urine. The concentrations in the brain of the treated animals were compared against those of the control group by Student's t test, with p-values < 0.1 considered to be statistically significant. These findings provide new perspectives for understanding the role of diet on brain chemistry. Our experimental approach has enabled us to obtain rich metabolomics information from a single experiment involving a limited number of animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in diabetic research involve the evaluation of agents that can regenerate or reverse pancreatic dysfunction. Although gallic acid (GA) has been reported as an antidiabetic agent, its ability to directly reverse altered biochemical parameters in diabetic pancreas has not been demonstrated. METHODS Male albino rats with diabetes induced by the administration of streptozotocin (STZ) (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) were treated with oral administration of GA. Antioxidants (enzymatic and non-enzymatic), purinergic enzymes, δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and lactate dehydrogenase were evaluated in the pancreas of both diabetic and nondiabetic animals. RESULTS The pharmacological effect of GA was accompanied by a restoration of the observed decreased levels of vitamin C and reduced glutathione in the pancreas of STZ-treated rats. GA also caused a marked reduction in the high levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances observed in the STZ-induced diabetic group. Furthermore, GA also improves the free radical scavenging property, Fe2+ chelating ability and Fe3+ reducing property of the pancreas of diabetic animals. Finally, the inhibition of pancreatic catalase, glutathione S-transferase, δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and lactate dehydrogenase and increased activity of purinergic enzymes accompanied by hyperglycemia were prevented by GA in the pancreas. CONCLUSIONS The direct influence and consequent restoration of altered biochemical conditions in the pancreatic tissue of diabetic animal models by GA makes it a promising antidiabetic candidate especially in pancreatic cell regeneration.

Abstract
The precise molecular events defining the complex role of oxidative stress in the inactivation of the cerebral sodium pump in radical-induced neurodegenerative diseases is yet to be fully clarified and thus still open. Herein we investigated the modulation of the activity of the cerebral transmembrane electrogenic enzyme in Fe2+-mediated in vitro oxidative stress model. The results show that Fe2+ inhibited the transmembrane enzyme in a concentration dependent manner and this effect was accompanied by a biphasic generation of aldehydic product of lipid peroxidation. While dithiothreitol prevented both Fe2+ inhibitory effect on the pump and lipid peroxidation, vitamin E prevented only lipid peroxidation but not inhibition of the pump. Besides, malondialdehyde (MDA) inhibited the pump by a mechanism not related to oxidation of its critical thiols. Apparently, the low activity of the pump in degenerative diseases mediated by Fe2+ may involve complex multi-component mechanisms which may partly involve an initial oxidation of the critical thiols of the enzyme directly mediated by Fe2+ and during severe progression of such diseases; aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation such as MDA may further exacerbate this inhibitory effect by a mechanism that is likely not related to the oxidation of the catalytically essential thiols of the ouabain-sensitive cerebral electrogenic pump. Fe2+ evoked lipid peroxidation (LPO) and inhibition of sodium pump (SP) in rat brain. However, dithiothreitol prevented both Fe2+-mediated LPO and inhibition of SP. Conversely, vitamin E prevented only Fe2+-mediated LPO but not inhibition of SP. Thus Fe2+ mediated inactivation of SP likely by oxidizing the essential thiol on SP. However, malondialdehyde inhibited SP by a mechanism not related to thiol oxidation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are frequently implicated in the pathology of secondary neuronal damage following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Recent evidence suggests that gallic acid (GA) reverses oxidative stress in rat model of streptozotocin-induced dementia, but the roles and mechanisms of GA on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury remain unknown. Here we investigated the potential roles and mechanisms of GA in hypoxia/reoxygenation induced by sodium hydrosulfite (Na2S2O4) in vitro and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in vivo. 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 5, 5', 6, 6'-tetrachloro-1, 1', 3, 3'-tetraethylbenzimidazol carbocyanine iodide (JC-1), Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) and MitoSOX fluorescent assay, Clark-type oxygen electrode, firefly luciferase assay, and calcium-induced mitochondrial swelling were conducted to detect cell death, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxygen consumption, ATP level, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) viability. We firstly find that modulation of the mitochondrial dysfunction is an important mechanism by GA attenuating hypoxia/reoxygenation insult. To further assess the effects of GA on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, 2, 3, 5-triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay, and Cytochrome C (Cyt C) release were performed in MCAO rats. The results support that GA is useful against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury as a potential protective agent.
