Aim: In the present study, effect of ellagic acid on levels of
paraoxonase (PON1), oxidative stress index (OSI), total antioxidant
(TAS) and total oxidant (TOS) in pyridine intoxication
was investigated.
Material and Methods: In the study, 28 male Swiss albino mice were divided into 4 equal groups as following. Control I (Control group, n:7, 0.9% NaCl, IP, SID, 7 days), Group II was applied with pyridine (n:7, 100 mg/kg, IP, SID, 7 days), Group III was applied with ellagic acid (n:7, 10 mg/kg, SC, SID, 7 days) and Group IV was treated with pyridine (100 mg/kg, IP, SID, 7 days) plus ellagic acid (10 mg/kg, SC, SID, 7 days). Serum PON1 activity, OSI, TAS and TOS levels were determined by spectrophotometric methods at the end of the experiment. Results: OSI and TOS levels significantly increased, whereas serum PON1 activity and TAS levels reduced in pyridine treatment group (Group II) when compared to control group. Conclusion: Ellagic acid may show the protective effects against pyridine-induced oxidative stress. |
