Baykara, Murat; Erisir, Mine; Özçelik, Mehtap; Güler, Osman
The antioxidant and radioprotective effects of propolis against ionizing radiation induced oxidativedamage were investigated. Twenty one rats were divided in to 3 groups; 1 st group was the controlgroup; 2nd group was the irradiation group, physiological saline (i.p.)/ 3 days + 9 Gy gammairradiation; 3rd group was irradiation + Propolis group, propolis (i.p. 100 mg / kg BW) / 3 days + 9Gy gamma irradiation. As a result of irradiation, a significant increase was determined inmalondialdehyde (MDA) levels of liver, kidney, and brain tissues of the rats (P<0.001). There was asignificant decrease in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of all the tissues (P˂0.001) andsuperoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) level in the liver (P˂0.01). Also, GSHlevel increased significantly in the kidney (P˂0.001) and ovarium tissues (P˂0.05). The MDA levelsthat increased in the liver as a result of irradiation, decreased significantly due the addition ofpropolis (P˂0.001); whereas, the MDA levels that increased in kidney and brain did not change. Inthe spleen and ovarium tissues, MDA levels decreased significantly as a result of addition ofpropolis compared to the irradiation group (P˂0.05). It was determined that GSH levels, thatdecreased in the liver (P˂0.01), and increased in the kidney due to addition of propolis, and GSHlevels, that decreased in the liver as a result of irradiation (P˂0.01) and increased in the kidney(P˂0.001), approached to the normal level (P˂0.001) and the GSH levels in the spleen and brainincreased compared to both the control and irradiation groups (P˂0.05). The addition of propoliscaused a decrease in the GSH-Px activities of heart, spleen, brain, and ovarium tissues comparedto both the control and irradiation groups (P˂0.001). Also, a decrease in the SOD activity of hearttissue compared to the control group was found (P˂0.05).

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is both a strong antioxidant and a glutathione precursor. The effect of NAC on the oxidant/antioxidant status of some tissues of the irradiated rats was investigated. Twenty one rats were assigned to 3 groups; the control group, the irradiation group, for which physiological saline solution was administered as i.p. for three days and then, 9 Gy gamma irradiation was applied, and 3rdirradiation + NAC group for which NAC was adminis-tered as i.p. for three days as 300 mg/kg body weight and then the same dose of irradiation was applied. Upon irradia-tion, the increase determined in malondialdehyde (MDA) was significant in the liver, kidney, and brain tissues of the rats (P˂0.05). While glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity decreased in all of the tissues and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity only in the liver (P˂0.01), glutathione (GSH) levels significantly increased in the kidney and ovarium tissues (P˂0.001). While NAC administration returned the increased MDA levels in the kidney and brain as a result of irradiation to normal levels (P˂0.05), it was determined that it did not return the increased MDA levels in the liver tissue to the normal level (P˂0.001). While NAC addition led to a significant increase in GSH levels of the liver, heart, spleen, brain and ovarium tissues compared to both control and irradiation groups, it caused a significant decrease in the kid-ney tissue compared to irradiation group (P˂0.001). As a result of NAC addition, a significant decrease was determined in spleen GSH-Px activity, heart and ovarium SOD activity compared to control and irradiation groups (P˂0.05). It can be asserted that GSH increasing by the addition of NAC is the main antioxidant that has a role in decreasing oxidative stress occurring as a result of irradiation. In the examination of MDA values, it was found that the addition of NAC pro-tected the kidney and brain against the oxidative damage induced by irradiation but NAC addition could remain insuffi-cient for the liver.

Ozcelik, Mehtap; Erisir, Mine; Guler, Osman; Baykara, Murat; Bulmus, Funda Gulcu
The antioxidant and protective effect of resveratrol against irradiation induced oxidative damage were researched. Twenty-one rats were seperated into 3 groups; First group was the control group. Second group was the irradiation group; received physiological saline intraperitoneally (i.p.) for three days, then 9 Gray (Gy) irradiation was applied. Third group was irradiation+Resveratrol group; received 10 mg/kg resveratrol i.p. for three days and then the same dose of radiation was applied. As a result of irradiation, a significant increase was found in the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver, kidney and brain tissues of rats (P<0.001). Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in all the tissues and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, Glutathione (GSH) levels in liver decreased (P<0.01), GSH levels in kidney, spleen and ovarium tissues significantly increased (P<0.05). The giving of resveratrol significantly reduced the MDA levels increasing in liver, kidney, and brain as a result of irradiation (P<0.001) and the liver MDA levels reached to the control levels. By giving resveratrol, it was determined that all the antioxidants studied reduced significantly compared to the control group and/or the irradiation group (P<0.05). According to the data obtained as a result; It was concluded that resveratrol shows a corrective effect by changing the oxidant/antioxidant balance against oxidative stress caused by irradiation, therefore resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant.

Ozcelik, Mehtap; Erişir, Mine; Guler, Osman; Baykara, Murat; Kirman, Esra
The effect of irradiation on oxidants and antioxidants in selected tissues and a possible protective effect of curcumin on these indices were investigated. A total of 28 rats were divided into 3 groups; group 1 was control; group 2 was the irradiation group, saline was administered intraperiotenally (i.p.) for three days and then, 9 Gy gamma irradiation was applied; group 3 was the irradiation + curcumin group: curcumin was given i.p. for three days at 200 mg/ kg body weight and then the same dose of irradiation was applied. A significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected in the liver, kidney, and brain tissues of the rats as a result of irradiation (P ˂ 0.01). Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in all the tissues (except for kidneys) decreased (P ˂ 0.01), liver SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity decreased (P ˂ 0.05), and GSH (glutathione) levels in kidney and ovary tissues (P ˂ 0.001) significantly increased. While curcumin administration returned the increased MDA levels in the kidneys and brain in result of irradiation to normal (P ˂ 0.01), it did not return the increased MDA levels in the liver tissue to normal (P ˂ 0.001) despite significantly reducing them. While decreased GSH-Px and SOD activity in the liver in result of irradiation increased with the addition of curcumin (P ˂ 0.05), increased GSH levels in the kidneys and ovaries returned to control levels (P ˂ 0.001). When MDA values were examined, it was found that the addition of curcumin protected the liver, kidneys and brain from the oxidative damage caused by irradiation.
