[PMID: 37257043 PMCID: PMC10273056 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17791] [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: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to identify the possible protective effect of diacerein (DIA) on gentamicin (GNT)-induced parotid toxicity in rats. DIA was administered in the presence and absence of GNT. Thirty-two Wistar adult male rats were randomly arranged into four groups: control, DIA (50 mg/kg/day), GNT (100 mg/kg) and GNT+DIA groups for 8 days. Parotid oxidative stress parameters, besides inflammatory and apoptotic biomarkers, were evaluated. Salivary flow rate, transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRCP1), and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) in parotid tissue were measured. A parotid histopathological examination and an interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) immunohistochemical study were also performed. GNT significantly increased parotid oxidative stress, inflammatory, apoptotic and CHOP biomarkers with decreased salivary flow rate and TRCP1 level. A histopathological picture of parotid damage and high IL-1β immunoexpression were detected. DIA significantly normalized the distributed oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic indicators, CHOP and TRCP1, with a prompt improvement in the histopathological picture and a decrease in IL-1β immunoexpression. These results reported that DIA protects against GNT-induced parotid toxicity via modulation of TLR4/NF-κB/IL-1β and TRPC1/CHOP signalling pathways.

Effect of Allium sativum and Nigella sativa on alleviating aluminum toxicity state in the albino rats. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:1042640. [PMID: 36524230 PMCID: PMC9745150 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.1042640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The study objective was to evaluate Allium sativum's potential and Nigella Sativa's combination's potential to reduce aluminum toxicity and return to the normal state. In the present study, a hundred albino rats were randomly divided into five equal groups. The first group was used as a control group; the other four groups were exposed to aluminum 1,600 ppm. The second exposed to aluminum only; the third and fourth groups were treated with Allium sativum 5% and Nigella sativa 5%, respectively, while the fifth group was treated with a mix of Allium sativum 2.5% and Nigella sativa 2.5% for 8th weeks. After 8 weeks, the aluminum administration was stopped, and the second group was divided into three groups. The groups were treated with Allium sativum 5% and Nigella sativa 5%, and a mix of Allium sativum 2.5% and Nigella sativa 2.5%, respectively. The first group was the control group (continued from the first experiment). Garlic and Nigella sativa were crushed and added to feed while receiving aluminum chloride daily at a dose of 1.6 ml/l was added to the drinking water. Histopathological changes in the liver, kidney, and testes were investigated after 8 and 16 weeks, and blood samples were collected after 4, 8, and 16 weeks for biochemical blood parameters. The results showed that the histopathological examination of the liver, kidney, and testes showed signs of congestion in blood vessels after aluminum exposure. Meanwhile, the treatment with Allium sativum or Nigella sativum or the mixture between them had positive effects on evading the harmful effects of aluminum in the liver, Kidney, and testes tissues. In addition, there were protective effects for Allium sativum and Nigella sativa against aluminum on serum creatinine, urea, ALT, and AST concentrations. The present study concluded that supplementation with Allium sativum or Nigella sativa or their combination could reduce aluminum toxicity and return the liver, kidney, and testes to normal.

Abstract
Background: Plant derived compounds are drawing attention in curing and treating variety of ailment and diseases. This increase in popularity of natural products has renewed interest in garlic, which has been used by human for centuries. It has been found that garlic pulp contains more than 200 chemical compounds and numerous garlic molecules can still be explored, extracted, synthesized and optimized. As in market various preparations of garlic are available which include tablets made from dried and powdered clove, oils and liquid extracts however, it would also be interesting to explore the effect of different forms of garlic extract on standard drug therapy especially when used as an adjuvant therapy. In this review a report on the pharmaceutical preparation which has used extracted compounds from garlic or its derivatives as a main constituent is compiled, so that it could be useful to increase our knowledge about the therapeutic effect of garlic and could improve our future experimental and chemical plans.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of literature using term garlic.
Result: In this report a comprehensive investigation has been conducted on garlic which includes various scientific aspects about it by which researchers from various disciplines could be directed to put efforts toward discovering the benefits of garlic on human health.
Conclusion: Garlic and its extracts had a wide range of applications even against resistant organisms to serve as powerful anti-microbial agent. Therefore, research is needed to refine the pathophysiological mechanisms of action of garlic and its utility in treatment of various diseases by developing more stable and suitable formulations. The development of Garlic as a commercial anti-biotic has come to a halt. Although its efficiency is scientifically proven still it has only been used as dietary supplement or as traditional medicine.

Abstract
Our study aimed to assess the effect of liposomal epigallocatechin-gallate (LEGCG) compared with epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) solution on hepatic toxicity induced by gentamicin (G) administration in rats. Five groups were evaluated, a control group (no G administration) and four groups that received G (1 mL, i.p, 80 mg/kg b.w. (body weight/day), for 7 days) to which we associated daily administration 30 min before G of EGCG (G-EGCG, 2.5 mg/0.1 kg b.w.), LEGCG (G-LEGCG, 2.5 mg/0.1 kg b.w.) or silymarin (100 mg/kg b.w./day). The nitro-oxidative stress (NOx), catalase (CAT), TNF-α, transaminases, creatinine, urea, metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9, and liver histopathological changes were evaluated. LEGCG exhibited better efficacy than EGCG, improving the oxidant/antioxidant balance (p = 0.0125 for NOx and 0.0032 for CAT), TNF-α (p < 0.0001), MMP-2 (p < 0.0001), aminotransferases (p = 0.0001 for AST and 0.0136 for ALT), creatinine (p < 0.0001), urea (p = 0.0006) and histopathologic liver changes induced by gentamicin. Our study demonstrated the beneficial effect of EGCG with superior results of the liposomal formulation for hepatoprotection in experimental hepatic toxicity induced by gentamicin.

Abstract
Sold under the brand name of Garamycin, gentamicin (GM) is an antibiotic in the category of aminoglycoside, that although does have many antibacterial properties, owing to several side effects, its consumption is confined. The current study is aimed at gauging the protective influences of human umbilical cord blood serum (hUCBS) on nephrotoxicity which is induced by GM. In this regard, in the present experimental design, twenty-eight male Wistar rats with the weights of 220 ± 20 g were categorized randomly into 4 groups of seven. The groups included GM (100 mg/kg), control as well as hUCBS at doses of one and two percent together with GM (100 mg/kg) for ten days in an intraperitoneal manner. Blood sampling was collected from the heart directly 24 h after the final injection for obtaining blood serum; the parameters of C-reactive protein (CRP), total oxidant status (TOS), interleukin (IL)-6, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood serum glutathione (GSH) were gauged in blood serum samples to evaluate renal function. Moreover, for histology, an examination of kidney tissue was performed. In comparison to those of the GM group, in the treatment group, hUCBS significantly decreased the levels of BUN, Cr, LDH, TOS, IL-6, and the CRP levels, and significantly increased the TAC and GSH levels. It was revealed that the treatment of the animals with hUCBS culminates in the reduction of GM' toxic impacts on the kidney.

Abstract
Hepatic injury induced by trypanosomiasis is one of the major health problems not only to human but also to wild and domestic animals. This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective role of Allium sativum extract (ASE) against Trypanosoma evansi infection in mice. Animals were divided into 4 groups. Group I received only saline while group II received ASE (20 mg/Kg). Animals of group III and group IV were infected with T. evansi. The latter group was treated with ASE. The infrared spectroscopic analysis of A. sativum extract exhibited bands between 3700 cm-1 and 599 cm-1. On day 4 post T. evansi infection, ASE decreased the parasitemia by about 15 fold. Also, ASE regulated the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes and the hemoglobin content. In addition, the histopathological damage was reduced after treatment with ASE. Moreover, the oxidant and the antioxidant markers (glutathione, malondialdehyde and catalase) were regulated in the infected-treated animals. Collectively, the results proved the protective role of ASE against T. evansi infection in mice.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that despite its antibacterial effects, its use is restricted due to numerous side effects. The umbilical cord serum contains various biomolecules that have protective impacts on the damaged tissues. The aim of this study was to gauge the protective effect of human umbilical cord blood serum (hUCBS) on GM-induced hepatotoxicity. In this experimental study, 28 male Wistar rats, weighing 220 ± 20 g, were randomly categorized into 4 groups including control, GM (100 mg/kg), hUCBS at doses of 1 and 2% along with GM (100 mg/kg) for 10 days, intraperitoneally. Twenty-four hours after the last injection, direct blood sampling was taken from the heart to obtain blood serum and liver enzymes, inflammatory cytokines and liver tissue were examined for histology. GM causes necrosis and inflammation in liver tissue. Liver enzyme and inflammatory cytokine levels were significantly increased in the GM group. Human umbilical cord blood serum significantly decreased liver enzyme and inflammatory cytokines levels in the experimental groups compared to the GM group. GM causes liver damage such as the inflammation and necrosis in liver tissue. Treating the animals with hUCBS reduced the toxic effects of GM in the liver.

Abstract
This work aimed to study the hepato-testicular protective effect of garlic in rats treated with cyclosporine A (CsA). Forty male Westar albino rats were randomly distributed in five groups (8 rats each): control, olive oil, garlic, CsA, and CsA co-treated with garlic. CsA induced an upsurge in the alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase levels and decreased albumin and total protein levels, expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene, serum testosterone, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine levels compared to the control group. Additionally, there was an increase in the cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein levels and a substantial reduction in the high-density lipoprotein levels compared to the control groups. Histopathological investigation of the liver showed abnormalities like hepatic cell degeneration, congestion of blood vessels, and highly active Kupffer cells in the CsA group. Histopathological examination of testes showed damaged seminiferous tubules, stoppage of the maturation of spermatogonia, and the presence of cells with irregular dense nuclei in the lumina of some tubules. For the groups treated with garlic, mitigation of the damage caused by CsA in the liver and testes, liver function tests, lipid profiles, and hormones was seen along with improved gene expression of SOD and steroidogenesis genes, and decreased gene expression of collagen I-α1 and transforming growth factor-1β. Conclusively, garlic had a positive impact on CsA-induced hepatic and sperm toxicity. It is recommended that garlic should be supplemented in transplant treatments using CsA to alleviate the cyclosporin-induced oxidative injuries and other harmful effects.

Abstract
AIM The present study focused on the possible underlying protective mechanisms of UDCA against GNT-induced hepatic injury. METHODS For achieving this goal, adult male rats were allocated into 4 groups: normal control (received vehicle), GNT (100 mg/kg, i.p. for 8 days), UDCA (60 mg/kg, P.O. for 15 days), and GNT + UDCA (received UDCA for 15 days and GNT started from the 7th day and lasted for 8 days). RESULTS The results revealed that UDCA significantly improved GNT-induced hepatic injury, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammatory response. Interestingly, UDCA inhibited apoptosis by marked down-regulation of the Bax gene, Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-3 protein expressions while the level of Bcl-xL gene significantly increased. Moreover, UDCA strongly inhibited the inflammatory response through the down-regulation of both NF-κB-p65 and TNF-α accompanied by IL-10 elevation. Furthermore, the obtained results ended with the restored of mitochondria function that confirmed by electron microscopy. Histological analysis showed that UDCA remarkably ameliorated the histopathological changes induced by GNT. SIGNIFICANCE UDCA may be a promising agent that can be used to prevent hepatotoxicity observed in GNT treatment. This effect could be attributed to, at least in part, the ability of UDCA to modulate NF-κB-p65/TNF-α, Bax/Bcl-xl/Caspase-3, and eNOS/iNOS signaling pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Aegle marmelos is an important traditional herbal medicine used in India. The dietary inclusion of the plant has never exposed earlier for its hepatoprotective activity. This study aimed to investigate the modulator efficacy of dietary inclusion of Aegle marmelos against Cisplatin - induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Animals were divided into five different groups; Group I was given basal diets only, Group II was fed basal diets with Aegle marmelos in 4% concentration, while Group III was fed basal diets co-administered with Cisplatin. Group IV and V were administered diets containing 2 and 4% Aegle marmelos respectively, for 27 days prior to Cisplatin administration. Cisplatin was administered to the rats for 3 days leads to a reduction in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes like lipid peroxidation (LPO) and endogenous antioxidant systems such as reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and catalase in liver homogenate caused to produce the impairment of hepatic functions. RESULTS The administration of fruit part of Aegle marmelos to Wistar rats showed a significant fall in the elevated Lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, glutathione and catalase concentration, moreover, it diminished the increased serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP) and bilirubin. CONCLUSIONS We can conclude that the hepatoprotective activity of Aegle marmelos was due to its antioxidant effect as evidenced by increasing activity of antioxidant enzymes with enhanced hepatic function and significantly changed the physiological parameters.

Potent protective activity and microbial synergism of luteolin. Food Chem Toxicol 2018; 118:294-302.

Abstract
The flavonoids effect on gentamicin (GEN)-induced oxidative stress (OS) in systemic circulation was evaluated in terms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, enzymatic antioxidant defenses superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and lipid peroxidation (LP) in vitro on human leukocytes and in vivo on rat whole blood. The inhibitory activity of ROS was ATS < QTS < isovitexin < vitexin < luteolin. Luteolin, the most active, showed more inhibition in ROS production than vitamin C (reference inhibitor) in mononuclear cells and a slightly lower protective behavior compared to this inhibitor in polymorphonuclear cells. In both cellular systems, luteolin tends to level SOD and CAT activities modified by GEN, reaching basal values and preventing LP. In Wistar rats, GEN plus luteolin can suppress ROS generation, collaborate with SOD and CAT and diminish LP produced by GEN at therapeutic doses. Finally, luteolin and antibiotic association was evaluated on the antimicrobial activity in S. aureus and E. coli showing a synergism between GEN and luteolin on S. aureus ATCC and an additive effect on E. coli ATCC. Therefore, simultaneous administration of luteolin and GEN could represent a potential therapeutic option capable of protecting the host against OS induced by GEN in the systemic circulation while enhancing the antibacterial activity of GEN.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible therapeutic or protective effects of Helichrysum plicatum DC. subsp. plicatum ethanol extract (HPE) against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. Thirty-six Sprague Dawley male rats weighing between 200 and 250 g were used as live material. They were formed into six groups containing 6 rats each and were allowed to adapt to laboratory conditions for 7 d. Group I: control, 5% DMSO intraperitoneal (i.p.); Group II: HPE 100 mg/(kg·d) i.p.; Group III: HPE 200 mg/(kg·d) i.p.; Group IV: gentamicin as 80 mg/(kg·d) i.p.; Group V: gentamicin as 80 mg/(kg·d) i.p.+HPE 100 mg/(kg·d) i.p.; and Group VI: gentamicin as 80 mg/(kg·d) i.p.+HPE 200 mg/(kg·d) i.p. for 8 d. Following treatment, serum, liver, and kidney tissues were used to assess blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, and lipid peroxidation. Gentamicin significantly increased serum BUN, creatinin, and liver and kidney levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). It also decreased the activity of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Treatment with the HPE 100 mg/kg reversed gentamicin-induced alterations as evidenced by decreased serum BUN and creatinin, liver and kidney oxidant marker, and tubular necrosis as well as by an increase in antioxidant enzymes. It was found that HPE 200 mg/kg significantly increased liver and kidney tissue MDA levels in nephrotoxicity in rats. As a result, these findings support the proposition that HPE in 100 mg/kg dose demonstrates in the kidney and liver as free radicals and scavenger to prevent the toxic effects of gentamicin in both the biochemical and histopathology parameters.

Abstract
Liver plays an important role in the detoxification and metabolic elimination of various drugs and harmful substances. The damaging effects on the liver tissue treated with gentamicin are multi-factorial and their mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the possible protective effects of anthocyanin-rich Riceberry bran extract on gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Riceberry bran extract was given by oral administration 30min before gentamicin injection for 15 consecutive days. Serum levels of liver marker enzymes, AST and ALT, were significantly elevated and the total serum protein level was markedly reduced in gentamicin-treated rats. Gentamicin injection led to the significant increase in hepatic MDA level and decrease SOD expression. Liver inflammation and apoptosis were observed in gentamicin-treated rats as indicated by the increases in NF-κB, TNF-αR1, COX2, and iNOS, caspase-3, Bax, and decrease in Bcl-XL expressions. Riceberry bran extract significantly prevented gentamicin-induced the elevations of serum AST, ALT and the reduction of serum total protein. These were related to the inhibition of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in Riceberry bran extract treatment. These findings suggest that anthocyanin-rich Riceberry bran extract can prevent liver dysfunction and damage induced by gentamicin, possibly through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects.

Abstract
We have evaluated the effect of gentamicin and gentamicin plus quercetin on ROS production, endogenous antioxidant defenses (SOD and CAT) and lipid peroxidation in vitro on human leukocytes and in vivo on whole rat blood. Gentamicin generated ROS production in human leukocytes, produced a dual effect on both enzymes dosage-dependent and generated an increase in lipid peroxidation. Quercetin, in leukocytes stimulated by gentamicin, showed more inhibitory capacity in ROS production than the reference inhibitor (vitaminC) in mononuclear cells and a similar protective behavior at this inhibitor in polymorphonuclear cells. Quercetin, in both cellular systems, tend to level SOD and CAT activities, reaching basal values and could prevent lipidic peroxidation induced by gentamicin. The results in Wistar rats confirmed that therapeutic doses of gentamicin can induce oxidative stress in whole blood and that the gentamicin treatment plus quercetin can suppress ROS generation, collaborate with SOD and CAT and diminish lipid peroxidation. Finally, flavonoid and antibiotic association was evaluated on the antimicrobial activity in S. aureus and E. coli, showing that changes were not generated in the antibacterial activity of gentamicin against E. coli strains, while for strains of S. aureus a beneficial effect observes. Therefore, we have demonstrated that gentamicin could induce oxidative stress in human leukocytes and in whole blood of Wistar rats at therapeutic doses and that quercetin may to produce a protective effect on this oxidative stress generated without substantially modifying the antibacterial activity of gentamicin against E. coli strains, and it contributes to this activity against S. aureus strains.

Abstract
The potential effect of camel milk (CM) against gentamicin (GM) induced biochemical changes in the rat serum was evaluated. Four groups of six albino rats were used for control, CM fed, injected with GM(i.p.), and then fed and injected with GM. The results showed that the administration of GM significantly altered the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in rat serum. CM restored these parameters to almost their normal range in group IV. Additionally, the present study showed that injection of rats with gentamicin caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity while the antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione s-transferase (GST) activity decreased significantly (P ≤ 0.05). Administration of CM significantly (P ≤ 0.05) inhibited the formation of MDA and activity of MPO and upregulated the antioxidant enzymes (SOD and GST) activity. The overall findings of this study demonstrated that pretreatment with CM gave protection against GM induced hepatic damage possibly by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation, and hence camel milk can be identified as a new therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Throughout history, many different cultures have recognized the potential use of garlic for prevention and treatment of different diseases. Recent studies support the effects of garlic and its extracts in a wide range of applications. These studies raised the possibility of revival of garlic therapeutic values in different diseases. Different compounds in garlic are thought to reduce the risk for cardiovascular diseases, have anti-tumor and anti-microbial effects, and show benefit on high blood glucose concentration. However, the exact mechanism of all ingredients and their long-term effects are not fully understood. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms of action of garlic as well as its efficacy and safety in treatment of various diseases.
