Oleic acid as a restorative agent in alleviating adrenaline induced altered morphofunctional milieu of gastric tissue and mitochondria. Heliyon 2021; 7:e06476. [PMID: 33768175 PMCID: PMC7980076 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e06476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The role of oleic acid as a protective antioxidant has recently been recognized. The present study is aimed to explore whether oleic acid can afford protection to rat gastric tissue when challenged with adrenaline. Sixty adult healthy male albino rats were divided into 10 groups comprising of 6 animals each. First group constituted the control. Rats of the second group were injected sub-cutaneously with adrenaline bitartrate at the dose of 0.3mg/kg body weight, every day for a period of 17 days. Rats of the third, to the sixth groups were orally fed with different doses of oleic acid (2.5, 5, 10, 20 mg/kg body weight/day) respectively. The rats of seventh to tenth groups were orally fed with doses of oleic acid as mentioned above and subsequently injected with adrenaline bitartrate at 0.3mg/kg body weight sub-cutaneously. After the treatment period, the animals were euthanized through cervical dislocation following light ether anaesthesia and gastric tissues were collected for morphological and biochemical studies. Subcutaneously administered pharmacological dose of adrenaline bitartrate caused oxidative stress inducing gastric lesion in male albino rats as evident from the altered levels of biomarkers of oxidative stress, activities of antioxidant and mitochondrial enzymes related to energy metabolism with changes in tissue morphology. Pre-treatment of rats with oleic acid dose-dependently protected against these gastric injuries induced by adrenaline indicating the potentiality of oleic acid in protecting against adrenaline induced gastric injury in male albino rats where antioxidant mechanisms appear to play a pivotal role in mediating such protection.

Protective effect of antioxidant rich aqueous curry leaf ( Murraya koenigii) extract against gastro-toxic effects of piroxicam in male Wistar rats. Toxicol Rep 2014; 1:987-1003. [PMID: 28962312 PMCID: PMC5598401 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2014.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2014] [Revised: 06/06/2014] [Accepted: 06/10/2014] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Piroxicam causes gastric ulceration through oxidative stress. Curry leaf extract protects against piroxicam induced gastric injury. Antioxidant mechanism(s) are involved in such protection. The extract may have future therapeutic potential.
Piroxicam (chemically 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-2-pyridinyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide), a classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is orally administered to arthritic patients. Inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis and subsequent free hydroxyl radical generation in vivo exert gastro-toxic side effects on piroxicam treatment. Leaves of curry plant are rich in antioxidants with prolific free radical scavenging activities. This led us to investigate the efficiency of the use of curry leaves in ameliorating piroxicam induced gastric damage. Piroxicam was orally (30 mg per kg body weight) administered in male albino Wistar rats to generate gastric ulcers. These rats were orally fed with graded doses of aqueous extract of curry or Murraya koenigii leaves (Cu LE) prior to piroxicam administration. Oxidative stress biomarkers, activities of antioxidant and pro-oxidant enzymes, mucin content and nature, PGE2 level, activities of mitochondrial enzymes and histomorphology of gastric tissues were studied. Piroxicam treatment altered all the above mentioned parameters whereas, curry leaf extract pre-treated animals were protected against piroxicam induced alterations. Hence, the protective action of the antioxidant rich Cu LE was investigated to propose a new combination therapy or dietary management to arthritic patients using piroxicam.

Abstract
Subchronic exposure to arsenic is associated with alteration of glucose homeostasis. Arsenic treatment (as sodium arsenite) of male Wistar rats (weighing 130-150 g) at a dose of 5.55 mg kg(-1) body weight (equivalent to 35% of LD(50)) (i.p.) per day for a period of 30 days produced hypoglycemia, with associated increased urinary excretion of glucose and depletion of liver glycogen and pyruvic acid contents. Mobilization of free amino acids from kidney to liver was facilitated by arsenic treatment. Arsenic exposure significantly decreased the glutamate-pyruvate transaminase activity in kidney. Glucose 6-phosphatase activity in liver tissue was also significantly decreased after arsenic treatment. In addition to these, liver lactate dehydrogenase activity was elevated due to arsenic treatment. Melatonin supplementation (i.p.) at a dose of 10 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for last five days prior to sacrifice reversed most of the above changes caused by arsenic. Melatonin, being a potent free radical scavenger may reduce arsenic-induced free radical production, and thereby, eliminating its toxic effects. So, arsenic-induced hypoglycemia, with associated glycogenolytic as well as glycolytic activities of liver can be partially counteracted by melatonin supplementation. Accordingly, it may be suggested that melatonin can serve as a prospective protective agent against arsenic-induced metabolic toxicity.

Abstract
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a synthetic aminothiol, possesses antioxidative and cytoprotective properties. The present study evaluates the effect of NAC supplementation on arsenic-induced depletion in vivo of carbohydrates. Arsenic (as sodium arsenite) treatment (i.p.) of male Wistar rats (120-140 g b.w.) at a dose of 5.55 mg/kg body weight (35% of LD50) per day for a period of 30 days produced a significant decrease in blood glucose level (hypoglycemia) and a fall in liver glycogen and pyruvic acid contents. The free amino acid nitrogen content of liver increased while that of kidney decreased after arsenic treatment. Arsenic also enhanced the liver lactate dehydrogenase activity whereas glucose 6-phosphatase activity in both liver and kidney decreased significantly following arsenic treatment. Transaminase activities in liver and kidney were not significantly altered except the glutamate-pyruvate transaminase activity that was reduced in kidney after arsenic treatment. Oral administration of NAC (163.2 mg/kg/day) for last 7 days of treatment prevented the arsenic-induced hypoglycemia and glycogenolytic effects to an appreciable extent. There was also recovery of liver pyruvic acid as well as liver and kidney free amino acid nitrogen content after NAC supplementation. Arsenic-induced alteration of glucose 6-phosphatase activity in both liver and kidney was also counteracted by NAC. It is suggested that carbohydrate depletion in vivo due to exposure to arsenic can be counteracted by NAC supplementation.

Abstract
The effect on antioxidant defense system of liver and kidney of sub-acute i.p. exposure to sodium arsenite (3.33 mg/kg b.w. per day) for 14 days was studied in male Wistar rats fed on an adequate (18%) or a low (6%) protein diet. Following arsenic treatment, liver showed significantly enhanced concentration of glutathione and increased activities of glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase on either of the dietary protein levels. Liver glutathione peroxidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities increased significantly on an adequate protein diet while glutathione peroxidase activity decreased significantly on a low-protein diet. Lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase activity of liver remained unaltered on either of the dietary protein levels. On the other hand, kidney of arsenic-treated rats receiving either of the dietary protein levels showed significantly increased lipid peroxidation and decreased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Kidney glutathione content and glutathione reductase activity remained unaltered while glutathione peroxidase activity increased and glutathione-S-transferase activity decreased significantly on a low-protein diet following exposure to arsenic. On an adequate protein diet glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in kidney, however, became significantly elevated following arsenic treatment. In Wistar rats, after 14 days of treatment with 3.33 mg As/kg b.w. i.p. the kidney seemed to be more sensitive to arsenic, and liver appears to be protected more by some of the antioxidant components, such as, glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It appears that low-protein diet influences the response of some of the cellular protective components against arsenic insult but does not lead to unique findings.
