    This study set out to investigate the effects of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) on certain biochemical parameters of the freshwater mussel Unio elongatulus eucirrus. Mussels were exposed to varying concentrations of CPF (10, 20, and 40 μg·L-1) for duration of 96 hours. Samples were collected from the mussels at the 24th and 96th hours of the experiment. The results indicated that exposure to CPF concentrations led to a decline in the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities and, accompanied by an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in mussels. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that CPF caused AChE inhibition, formation of oxidative stress, and negative effects on certain antioxidant parameters in the freshwater mussel U. elongatulus eucirrus.

    Phlomis species (family Lamiaceae) are highly valued as food and herbal medicine. The present study is designed to investigate the chemical composition and antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of extracts from P. fruticosa, P. herba-venti, and P. kurdica aerial parts. Different classes of metabolites, including phenolic acids, phenylethanoids, flavonoids, iridoids, organic acids, terpenes, and fatty acids, are identified in the three species, with methanol as the best solvent to recover bioactive compounds from the three species in addition to ethyl acetate for P. kurdica. Around 70% methanol extract of P. herba-venti exerts the best radical scavenging and ions-reducing properties, while its methanol extract exhibits the highest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. The ethyl acetate extract of P. fruticosa displays the best chelating power, and its other polar extracts have the highest total antioxidant activity. Furthermore, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations have underscored the therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds, including isoverbascoside, samioside, forsythoside B, and hattushoside. In conclusion, the study indicates that these three Phlomis species are a rich source of bioactive molecules with possible therapeutic applications, and the selection of appropriate extraction solvents is crucial for the targeted biological activity.

    Abstract: As a viscous-elastic substance, snail mucus has a great attention in the medical and cosmetic industries in recent years due to contain many bioactive compounds. Freshwater snails are cosmopolite aquatic invertebrates and distribute nearly all types of inland aquatic bodies due to their adaptive abilities, rapid growth and short life cycles and, the compounds of mucus derived from freshwater snails has not been well documented. Hence, this study focused on identification bio-active ingredients and determination of protein content and antioxidant enzyme activities in freshwater snails Viviparus contectus and Planorbis rubrum mucus. Bioactive constituents of mucus in freshwater snails were characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-FID-MS) analysis. Antioxidants (GSH, SOD, CAT and GSH-Px) and protein content were assessed in freshwater snails. Our data revealed that thirteen compounds are characterized with nonadecanoic acid methyl ester (11.57%), nonadecane (5.01%) and heptadecanoic acid methyl ester (4.19%) as the main components of P. rubrum mucus while eleven compounds are characterized with farnesol (11.23%), 5-hydroxymethyl-1,1,4α-Trimethyl-6-methylene-decahydronphthalen-2-ol (9.73%), kaur-16-en-18-oic acid methyl ester (9.64%), tricosane (9.62%), and kaurene (8.44%) as the main components of V. contectus mucus. Nonadecanoic acid methyl ester and nonadecane, known as effective bioactive constituents having antimutagenic and antitumor capability, were determined with 11.57 and 5.01% of the total bio-active composition of P. rubrum mucus, respectively. As a major constituent, farnesol was detected with 11.23% of the total bio-active composition of V. contectus mucus. Moreover, the presence of kaurene, known as a potent bioactive compound for cancer treatment, in notably quantity in V. contectus mucus. In addition, GSH levels and SOD, CAT, and GPx activities was highest level in P. rubrum compared to V. contectus. Protein content was highest level in V. contectus than P. rubrum. Overall, individual compounds of V. contectus and P. rubrum mucus could be isolated and purified and used for the treatment of a variety of human ailments.

    Zengin, Gokhan; Fernández-Ochoa, Álvaro; de la Luz Cádiz-Gurrea, María; Jiménez, Francisco-Javier Leyva; Uba, Abdullahi Ibrahim; Ak, Gunes; Soomro, Sanam Iram; Balos, Maruf; Cakilcioglu, Ugur; Rodrigues, Maria João

    The members of the genus Centaurea have a great interest in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields due to their biological potential. Based on this information, we aimed to evaluate the biological properties (antioxidant, enzyme inhibition and cytotoxicity) and chemical profile of the extract of Centaurea stapfiana, an unstudied species. The highest total phenolic content was found in the ethanol/water extract with 32.17 mg GAE/g. A total of 102 of them were identified by HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis. These compounds were mainly hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxycinnamic acid as well as flavonoids. In the antioxidant tests, the ethanol/water extract had the best free radical scavenging and reducing ability. However, in the enzyme inhibition test, the ethanol extract was the most active. The extracts were also tested on two tumour cell lines (RAW 264.7 and HepG2) and one non-tumour cell line (S17). The ethanol extract showed the promising effect on HepG2 (cell viability: 28.6 % at 50 g/ml). Furthermore, we examined the interactions between the compounds and enzymatic and cellular targets. A good interaction was found between quercetin-3-xylosyl-(1- > 6)-glucoside and iNOS. In summary, our results suggest that C. stapfiana can be considered as a versatile raw material for the development of health-promoting applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical fields.

    Keban baraj gölü Pertek avlak sahasında bulunan midye populasyonlarının ekolojik özelliklerinin su altı dalış tekniği ile belirlenmesi

    Zühal Taş

    Sualtı dalış gözlem çalışmalarında en küçük boydaki midyelerin kıyıda 5-10 cm derinliklerde tutunabilecekleri nesnelerin üzerinde kümeler halinde oldukları görülmüştür. Kıyıdan derinliklere doğru gidildikçe de midyelerin boylarının büyüdüğü tespit edilmiştir. Midyelerin uygun tutunma yeri olan yerlerde direk güneş ışınlarına doğru durmadıkları, kayalık yerlerin yan kısımlarına yapışarak indirekt olarak faydalandıkları görülmüştür. Büyük midyelerin genelde ortalama 30 mm büyüklükte oldukları belirlenmişse de, 40 mm den daha büyük ve çok sayıda midye kabuklarına da rastlanılmıştır. Ancak bunlardan hiç birine canlı olarak rastlanılmamış, kümeler halinde ölü ve boş kabukları bulunmuştur. Midyelerin su zeminine göre yayılım gösterdikleri belirlenmiştir. Çıplak taban çamurundansa rahatça tutunabilecekleri kayalık bölgeleri tercih ettikleri görülmüştür. Çıplak kumlu tabanlarda ise bulabildikleri teneke kutu, şişe, plastik artıklar, halat, balık ağları ve hatta tekne tabanlarına kadar tutunup kümeler halinde yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Gözlem yapılan ve midyelerin yaşamalarına uygun zemin yapılarının tamamen midyeler ile kaplı oldukları olduğu, en fazla canlı midye kümelerinin 0-8 m arasındaki derinliklerde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan suyun daha berrak olduğu ve gün ışığının daha derinlere ulaşabildiği bölgelerde ise 15 m derinliklerde de canlı midye kümelerine bolca rastlanılmış ve canlı midyelerin bulunduğu derinlik sınır yaklaşık 18 m civarlarında kalmıştır. Midyelerin sifonlarının sürekli olarak açık bir şekilde suyu süzme işlemini yaptıkları görülmüştür. Çalışma bölgesinin büyük bölümünde aşırı sediment olduğu midyelerin üstünü kapladığı, midyelerin bu durumda sifonların normalden daha fazla uzatarak suyu süzme işlemini gerçekleştirdikleri görülmüştür. Midyelerin canlıları da substrat olarak kullandıkları kerevitlerin ve hareketli midyeler olan Unionidlerin de üzerlerinde kümeler halinde bulundukları tespit edilmiştir. Midyelerin ortalama uzunluklarının 21,025±3,02 mm, ortalama genişliklerinin 10,33±1,49 mm, kabuklu ağırlıklarının ortalama 9,45±4,29 g ve ortalama et ağırlıklarının 1,99±1,55 mg olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Midyelerin uzunluk ile ağırlıkları arasında R² = 0,749 doğrusal ve güçlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur. "b" değerlerine baktığımızda negatif allometrik büyüme gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kıyıya yakın bölgelerde daha berrak ve sedimantasyon az olduğu yerlerden alınan midyeler ile, sedimentin daha çok olduğu ve hatta midyelerin üzerinin sedimentle kaplandığı alanlardan alınanların antioksidan seviyelerindeki farkın araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına bakıldığında sedimentin az olduğu bölgeden alınan midyelerde SOD, CAT ve MDA seviyelerinin sedimentle kaplanan midyelerden daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. SOD ve CAT'ın daha yüksek olması sedimentin az olduğu bölgelerdeki midyelerde oksidatif stresin düşük olduğu anlamına gelmekteyse de MDA'nın yüksek olması bu sedimentte bu duruma etki eden nedenlere de bakılmasını gerektirmektedir.

    Zengin, Gokhan; Zheleva-Dimitrova, Dimitrina; Babacan, Ebru Yüce; Polat, Rıdvan; Çakılcıoğlu, Uğur; Sadeer, Nabeelah Bibi; Costa, Emmanoel V.; Mahomoodally, Mohamad Fawzi; Naviglio, Daniele; Gallo, Monica

    This study focused on the biological evaluation and chemical characterization of Malabaila lasiocarpa Boiss. (M. lasiocarpa) (Family: Apiaceae). The phytochemical profile, antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory of the methanolic, aqueous, dichloromethane, hexane extracts were investigated. Based on UHPLC-HRMS analyses, a total of 101 peaks were annotated or identified for the first time in M. lasiocarpa extracts. They include hydroxybenzoic, hydroxycinnamic, acylquinic acids and their glycosides, C- and O-glycosyl and O-diglycosyl flavonoids. In addition, 10 simple mono- and disubstituted coumarins together with 10 furanocoumarins were tentatively annotated. The methanolic extract possessing the highest phenolic (24.36±0.60 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract) and flavonoid (69.15±0.37 mg rutin equivalent/g extract) content also exhibited the strongest radical scavenging potential against 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (21.73±0.42 mg Trolox equivalent/g extract, respectively), and highest reducing capacity (57.81±0.97 and 28.00±0.40 mg Trolox equivalent/g extract, for cupric reducing antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant power, respectively). The dichloromethane extract substantially depressed the tyrosinase (73.92±5.37 mg kojic acid equivalent/g extract), α-amylase (0.63±0.01 mmol acarbose equivalent/g extract) and α-glucosidase (0.69±0.02 mmol acarbose equivalent/g extract) enzymes. This study has produced critical scientific data on M. lasiocarpa which are potential contenders for the development of novel phyto-pharmaceuticals.

    Effects of the BHA and basil essential oil on nutritional, chemical, and sensory characteristics of sunflower oil and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) fillets during repeated deep-frying

    Erol, Nida Demirtas; Erdem, Ömer Alper; Yilmaz, Sebnem Tolasa; Kayalar, Hüsniye; Cakli, Sukran

    This study was to evaluate the BHA and basil essential oil on the quality attributes of deep-fried sardine fillets and frying oil. The extent of lipid oxidation was monitored by measuring peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), TBA, and changes in free fatty acids. Sensory analysis and color values upon the frying period were also determined. PV, FFA, TBA, and TBARS values in fish fillets and frying oil have peaked and then decreased at the end of frying except for the control. BEO showed the highest sensory scores compared to others. As a result, it is not possible to make a clear judgment about the effect of the natural or synthetic antioxidants on all lipid oxidation products that may occur during frying both fish fillets and frying oil. This study suggests that secondary oxidation products in frying oil and the sensorial quality of fish fillets can be better controlled by using basil essential oil.

    The members of the genus Inula have been widely used in traditional medicinal. In the present study, 11 Inula species were investigated for their phytochemical composition, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects. While quinic acid was the principal compound in I. anatolica, I. britannica, I. inuloides, I. oculus-christi, I. peacockiana, I. sechmenii, I. thapsoides and I. viscidula extracts (22.43–42.02 mg/g dry extract (DE)), I. aucheriana and I. discoidea extracts contained rutin as their most abundant compound (23.28 and 79.10 mg/g extract, respectively). Interestingly, all the Inula extracts were active inhibitors of the five key clinical enzymes (acetylcholinesterase (3.56–5.13 mg galantamine equivalent (GALAE)/g), butyrylcholinesterase (1.49–7.34 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (112.31–122.13 mg kojic acid equivalent (KAE)/g), α-glucosidase (0.77–2.08 mmol acarbose equivalent (ACAE)/g) and α-amylase (0.73–0.90 mmol ACAE/g)). Furthermore, the extracts were observed to exhibit substantial antioxidant capacity (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH): 58.99–188.22 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g); 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS): 90.51–220.97 mg TE/g; cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC): 169.88–460.53 mg TE/g; ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP): 81.57–237.99 mg TE/g; metal chelating activity: 8.31–25.39 mg ethylenediamine tetraacetate equivalent (EDTAE)/g; phosphomolybdenum: 1.55–2.49 mmol TE/g). In conclusion, the Inula species studied herein showed promising pharmacological potentials justified by the presence of a panoply of bioactive compounds.

    Two Medicinal Plants (Alkanna trichophila and Convolvulus galaticus) from Turkey: Chemical Characterization and Biological Perspectives

    Mahomoodally, Mohamad Fawzi; Zengin, Gokhan; Sinan, Kouadio Ibrahime; Ak, Gunes; Sadeer, Nabeelah Bibi; Angeloni, Simone; Mustafa, Ahmed M.; Caprioli, Giovanni; Maggi, Filippo; Cakilcioglu, Ugur

    The aim of the present study was to quantify selected phenolic compounds, determine antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibitory effects of the aerial parts of Alkanna trichophylla Hub.-Mor. (A. trichophylla) and Convolvulus galaticus Rost.ex Choisy (C. galaticus) extracts prepared by homogenizer-assisted extraction (HAE), maceration (MAC) and infusion techniques. This is the first time such study has been designed to validate the phytochemical composition and bioactivity of these plants. Multivariate analysis was conducted on collected data. Rutin and caffeoylquinic acid derivatives were the most significant compounds in A. trichophylla and C. galaticus, respectively. The highest antioxidant activity of A. trichophylla was mostly exhibited by HAE/methanolic extracts as determined by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP (51.39, 112.70 and 145.73 mg TE/g, respectively) and phosphomolybdenum (2.05 mmol TE/g) assays. However, significant antioxidant activities varied within the extracts of C. galaticus. HAE/methanolic extract of A. trichophylla significantly depressed AChE (2.70 mg GALAE/g), BChE (5.53 mg GALAE/g) and tyrosinase (26.34 mg KAE/g) activities and that of C. galaticus inhibited AChE (2.04 mg GALAE/g), tyrosinase (31.25 mg KAE/g) and α-amylase (0.53 mmol ACAE/g) activities significantly. We concluded that HAE was the most efficient extraction technique as high yield of compounds and promising bioactivities were recorded from extracts prepared. Multivariate analysis showed that types of solvents influenced recovery of compounds and biological activities. This research study can be used as one methodological starting point for further investigation on these plants as all results are clearly promising and open the door to further research challenges such as cytotoxicity evaluation, molecular docking analysis, and more screening of pharmacological actions.

    Effect of trichlorfon on some haematological and biochemical changes in Cyprinus carpio: The ameliorative effect of lycopene

    Mişe Yonar, Serpil; Yonar, M. Enis; Pala, Ayşegül; Sağlam, Naim; Sakin, Fatih

    Trichlorfon (TCF) is an antiparasitic agent used in aquaculture to treat external parasites and it belongs to the chemical class of organophosphates. This study was conducted to investigate the ameliorating effects of lycopene on TCF-induced toxicity in carp by evaluating haematological parameters and oxidant/antioxidant status. Fish were randomly divided into seven experimental groups. These groups were arranged as follows: control (no treatment) group, corn oil group, lycopene (10 mg kg−1) group, TCF-I (11 mg L−1) group, TCF-I (11 mg L−1) plus lycopene (10 mg kg−1) group, TCF-II (22 mg L−1) group and TCF-II (22 mg L−1) plus lycopene (10 mg kg−1) group. At the end of 14 days administration, blood and tissue (liver, kidney, and gill) samples were collected. Haematological changes [red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, haematocrit (Ht) level, and erythrocyte indices: mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC)] were determined in the blood samples, while antioxidant parameters [(malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities] were evaluated in the liver, kidney and gill samples. The results demonstrated that all the haematological parameters were significantly decreased in the TCF-I and TCF-II groups when compared to the control group. Notable increases in the tissue MDA levels were observed in the TCF-treated groups. In contrast, significant decreases were observed in the tissue SOD, CAT and GSH-Px activities and GSH levels in the TCF-I and TCF-II groups. However, simultaneous treatment with lycopene provided a marked normalisation of the haematological and oxidant/antioxidant parameters compared with the TCF-I and TCF-II groups. The findings show that dietary lycopene supplementation might be helpful in abrogation of TCF toxicity by changing haematological conditions and antioxidant status in fish.

    Tunceli ilinde yetişen sumak bitkisinin fitokimyasal bileşenlerinin incelenmesi

    Esra Yüksel

    Sumak Anacardieceae ailesine ait bir bitkidir. Bu çalışmada Tunceli'de doğal olarak yetişen sumak bitkisi 5 farklı ilçeden toplandı, yıkandıktan ve oda sıcaklığında kurutulduktan sonra analize kadar buzdolabında saklandı. Sumak örneklerinde pH, renk, kül miktarları, toplam fenolik madde içeriği, DPPH serbest radikali giderme kapasitesi, metal şelatlama kapasitesi, CUPRAC, indirgeme kuvveti, mineral madde içeriği, organik asitlerden; tartarik asit, malik asit ve sitrik asit, fenolik bileşiklerden; gallik asit, vanilik asit, kafeik asit, rutin, resveratrol, (-)- epikateşin ve (+)- kateşin hidrat içeriği belirlendi. Yapılan çalışmada toplam fenolik madde (TFM) miktarı 1929±63 mg GAE kg-1-231±10 mg GAE kg-1 aralığında bulundu. Bütün sumak örneklerinde TFM miktarı en yüksek asitlendirilmiş metanol ekstraktında, DPPH serbest radikali giderme kapasitesi ise asitlendirilmiş asetonitril ekstraktında olduğu görüldü. S5 nolu örneğin ise bütün ekstraktlarının metal şelatlama kapasitesi diğer örneklerden yüksek olduğu fakat EDTA'nın metal şelatlama kapasitesinden düşük olduğu belirlendi. CUPRAC'ın ise en yüksek 118.0±3.0 mg KAE kg-1 ile S5 nolu örneğin asitlendirilmiş metanol ekstraktında, en düşük 10.2±0.6 mg KAE kg-1 ile yine S5 nolu örneğin asitlendirilmiş asetonitril ekstratında olduğu tespit edildi. Bütün örneklerin indirgeme kuvvetleri ise sentetik antioksidanların indirgeme kuvvetlerinden düşük olduğu, ayrıca örneklerin mineral madde bakımından da zengin oldukları, baskın olan organik asidin malik asit, fenolik bileşiğin ise gallik asit olduğu tespit edildi.

    The influence of dietary antioxidant on ovarian eggs and levels of vitamin E, C, A, astaxanthin, β-carotene and oxidative stres in tissues of Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz)

    Barim-Oz, O.; Sahin, H.

    The experiment was conducted to determine the most effective antioxidant (among the vitamin E (VE), vitamin C (VC), vitamin A (VA), astaxanthine (AX), beta-carotene (beta C)) on the ovarian egg number and size, level of VE, VC, VA, AX, beta C and oxidative stress (as malondialdehyde (MDA)) in the hepatopancreas, ovarian, gills and muscle tissue during ovarian development of Astacus leptodactylus. One control (C) and five experimental diets (EE, EC, EA, EAX and E beta C) were prepared. The EE, EC, EA, EAX and E beta C groups were formed by added 150 mg kg-1 VE, 200 mg kg-1 VC, 240 mg kg-1 VA, 200 mg kg-1 AX and 200 mg kg-1 beta C to diet C, respectively. At the end of the experiment found that the dietary antioxidants increased ovarian egg number and size and reduced the level of MDA in the tissues. Ovarian egg number and size were highest in the EE and EAX diet groups in the comparison to control (p< 0.001). The level of MDA in the tissues was lowest in the EAX diet group in the comparison to control (p< 0.001). The highest levels of VE, VC, VA, AX and beta C were found in the hepatopancreas and ovarian compared with muscle and gills. The highest level of MDA also was determined in the ovarian according to other tissues. In conclusion, the VE and AX in broodstock diets were the most effective antioxidants on the ovarian egg number and size of A. leptodactylus.

    The Effects of Dietary Antioxidants on the Arginase Activity and Nitric Oxide Level of Narrow-Clawed Turkish Crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus, Esch 1823) in Moulting Period

    Benzer, Fulya; Özçelik, Mehtap; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu

    The effects of dietary antioxidants (vitamine E, vitamine C, Astaxhantin, beta carotene) on arginase activity and nitric oxide levels of hepatopancreas and muscle of freshwater crayfish (Actacus leptodactylus) were investigated during moulting. 150 mg kg(-1) vitamine E (VE), 200 mg kg(-1) vitamine C (VC), 200 mg kg(-1) Astaxhantin and 200 mg kg(-1) beta carotene were added to experimental diets. A. leptodactylus with these diets were fed with 2% of their total weight daily, in a day during 75 days. Arginase activity was increased in muscle of crayfish fed the diets VC, VE, astaxanthin and beta karoten but in hepatopancreas arginase activity was increased with beta carotene when compared to control. NO levels in muscle were decreased when compared to control but this decrease was not statically significant. NO levels in hepatopancreas of crayfish fed the diets VC and astaxanthin were higher than control groups. Our results demonstrated that dietary antioxidants affect the arginase activity and nitric oxide level of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus, Esch. 1823) during moulting.

    Synthesis and Chemical Structure Elucidation of Two Schiff Base Ligands, Their Iron(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes, and Antiradical, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant Properties

    Turan, Nevin; Savci, Ahmet; Buldurun, Kenan; Alan, Yusuf; Adigüzel, Ragip

    Fe(II) and Zn(II) complex series have been synthesized from Schiff base ligands derived from furan-2-carbaldehyde and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde. Elemental, infrared, ultra-violet- visible, NMR and thermal analysis, also mass spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed to explain the structures of these synthesized ligands and their metal complexes. The formulas based on analytical, spectral, and magnetic studies, the complexes can be demonstrated as [M(L-1)(2)](H2O)(n), [M(L-2)(2)](H2O)(n), where M = Zn(II) and Fe(II). An octahedral geometry was suggested for the Zn(II) and Fe(II) complexes. The antioxidant, antiradical and antimicrobial properties of the Zn(II) and Fe(II) complexes were investigated using different in vitro assays. Some of the complexes showed reasonable amount of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

    Beneficial effects of oral administrations of grape seed extract on healing of surgically induced skin wounds in rabbits

    Sagliyan, A.; Benzer, E.; Kandemir, F. M.; Gunay, C.; Han, M. C.; Ozkaraca, M.

    This study examined the effects of orally given grape seed extract (GSE) on healing of surgically induced full thickness skin wounds in terms of clinical, histopathological and biochemical aspects. A total of 48 healthy. adult male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided in 2 equal experimental and control groups: one week prior the surgery, 260 mg/kg grape seed extract was orally given for 20 days to the assay animals. A circular full thickness skin wound (2.5 cm in diameter) was made in the back midline of all rabbits under anaesthesia then, macroscopic and histopathological aspects as well as the tissue oxidant/antioxidant balance were determined on 6 rabbits from each group slaughtered at the 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th days post-surgery. In treated rabbits, it was clinically observed that the wound contraction was significantly amplified and the histological processes of re-epithelisation, granulation tissue development, collagen accumulation and angiogenesis were markedly hastened whereas the inflammatory reaction and the ulcer disappeared more rapidly than in the not-treated controls. Furthermore, the maximal skin MDA formation observed on the 10th day was significantly depressed and the antioxidant catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities remained significantly elevated until the 15th day compared to the controls. These results demonstrate the beneficial effects of treatment with GSE on skin wound healing in rabbits.

    Effect of Pomegranate Seed Extract on Free Radical Damage and Antioxidant Activity Under Cisplatin-Induced Oxidative Stress Conditions in Rabbit Testes

    Benzer, F.; Kandemir, F. M.; Yildirim, N. C.; Ozan, S. T.

    The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect of pomegranate seed extract on cisplatin-induced oxidative stress in rabbits testes. Rabbits were divided into three groups; (i) being control group, (ii) cisplatin group and (iii) cisplatin + pomegranate seed extract group. The level of malondialdehyde and glutathione, the activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, were measured in testes tissue of rabbits. Malondialdehyde levels were increased depending on cisplatin. In the case of cisplatin + pomegranate seed extract, malondialdehyde levels were found to be lower than cisplatin group (p < 0.05). In cisplatin group, catalase, glutathione peroxidase activity and glutathione levels were decreased when compared to control but in cisplatin + pomegranate seed extract group, catalase, glutathione peroxidase activity and glutathione levels were found higher than cisplatin group (p < 0.05). The pomegranate seed extract supplementation may play a protective role or decrease the side effects of cisplatin-induced testes toxicity from cancer medicines.

    Effects of cypermethrin on antioxidant status, oxidative stress biomarkers, behavior, and mortality in the freshwater mussel Unio elongatulus eucirrus

    Köprücü, Kenan; Yonar, Serpil Mise; Seker, Engin

    In this study, the effects of cypermethrin on antioxidant status, oxidative stress biomarkers, behavior, and mortality in the freshwater mussel Unto elongatulus eucirrus were examined. Cypermethrin was applied at concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 mu g/L, for 1, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. With increasing cypermethrin concentrations, the mussels showed significantly (P < 0.05) increased lipid peroxidation (MDA), which might be associated with decreased levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT) activity in the digestive glands and gills of the mussels. Negative correlations were observed between the MDA and the GSH and CAT levels after cypermethrin exposure, indicating a protective role of GSH and CAT against lipid peroxidation, and suggesting the use of these antioxidants as a potential biomarker of toxicity associated with contaminant exposure in freshwater mussels. In addition, at 5 mu g/L, cypermethrin had no effect on the duration of the active and rest periods. All higher concentrations caused inhibition of the filtration activity by reducing the active periods and lengthening the rest periods. The active periods shortened as the cypermethrin concentrations increased, the reduction being 90% of the control at 160 mu g/L. Rest periods were longest (237% longer than the control) at 160 mu g/L. The 48, 72, and 96 h LC50 values of cypermethrin for mussels were determined as 96.50, 77.96, and 59.20 mu g/L, respectively (P < 0.05). The results indicate that the insecticide cypermethrin has a harmful effect not only on nontarget aquatic arthropods and fish, but also on mollusks, although the sensitivity of mussels is less than that of fish. Being a general toxicant for aquatic life, cypermethrin should be used with great caution in agriculture to protect natural waters from contamination.
