Publication Open Access Ghrelin Treatment Improves Lipid Metabolism and Hepatic Degeneration in Ovariectomized Rats(GAZI UNIV, FAC MED, 2020-01-01) YEGEN, BERRAK; Gurler, Esra Bihter; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Kaya, Ozlem Tugce Cilingir; Ercan, Feriha; Yegen, Berrak C.Objective: Metabolic disorders occurring in post-menopausal period increase the risk for development of fatty liver disease in women. Aim of the study was to evaluate possible effects of ghrelin on metabolic biomarkers and hepatic morphology in ovariectomized (OVT) rats. Methods:Under ketamine-chlorpromazine anesthesia (100 mg/kg, 0.75 mg/kg), Sprague-Dawley rats (n=12) underwent bilateral OVT, while control group had sham-surgery (n=6). Four weeks after surgery, half of OVT rats were treated intraperitonally with ghrelin (1 mg/kg/hafta) for 4 weeks, while others were not treated. Rats were euthanized by cardiac puncture at the end of 8th weeks, and serum levels of glucose, insulin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglycerides, estradiol and progesterone were measured by an automated analyzer. Results: Increased body weights in OVT rats (p<0.001) recorded at the end of 2 months was not changed with ghrelin. Serum estradiol and progesterone levels were reduced (p<0.05) verifying altered gonadal hormone status, but insulin and glucose levels were not changed. Reduced HDL and increased LDL levels (p<0.0.5) were evident in non-treated OVX rats, while ghrelin treatment depressed LDL levels (p<0.0.5), but did not change HDL levels. However, ghrelin in OVT rats depressed triglycerides, VLDL and AST levels significantly (p<0.05). Moderate sinusoidal congestion, activated Kupffer cells and hepatocytes with ballooning degeneration was observed in non-treated OVT rats, while significant improvements were present in livers of ghrelin-treated rats. Conclusion: In conclusion, mild dyslipidemia and hepatic degeneration in early post-menopausal period appear to be attenuated by ghrelin treatment, and require further investigation.Publication Metadata only Nesfatin-1 treatment preserves antioxidant status and attenuates renal fibrosis in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction(2022-06-01) ÇETİNEL, ŞULE; YEGEN, BERRAK; KAYA, ÖZLEM TUĞÇE; ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; Tezcan N., Özdemir-Kumral Z. N., Yenal N. Ö., Çilingir-Kaya Ö. T., Virlan A. T., Özbeyli D., Çetinel Ş., Yeğen B., Koç M.Background Nesfatin-1 (NES-1), an anorexigenic peptide, was reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic actions in several inflammation models. Methods To elucidate potential renoprotective effects of NES-1, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats by ligating left ureters. The rats were injected intraperitoneally with either saline (SL) or NES-1 (10 mu g/kg/day) for 7 or 14 days (n = 8 in each group). On the 7th or 14th day, obstructed kidneys were removed for the isolation of leucocytes for flow-cytometric analysis and the assessments of biochemical and histopathological changes. Results Opposite to glutathione levels, renal myeloperoxidase activity in the SL-treated UUO group was significantly increased compared with the sham-operated group, while NES-1 treatment abolished the elevation. The percentages of CD8+/CD4+ T-lymphocytes infiltrating the obstructed kidneys were increased in the SL-treated groups but treatment with NES-1 did not prevent lymphocyte infiltration. Elevated tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels in SL-treated UUO group were decreased with NES-1. Although total degeneration scores were similarly increased in all UUO groups, tubular dilatation scores were significantly increased in UUO groups and lowered by NES-1 only in the 7-day treated group. Elevated interstitial fibrosis scores in the SL-treated groups were decreased in both 7- and 14-day NES-1 treated groups, while alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and apoptosis scores were depressed in both NES-1 treated groups. Conclusion The present data demonstrate that UUO-induced renal fibrosis is ameliorated by NES-1, which appears to involve the inhibition of neutrophil infiltration and thereby amelioration of oxidative stress and inflammation. These data suggest that NES-1 may have a regulatory role in protecting the kidneys against obstruction-induced renal injury.Publication Open Access The protective effects of momordica charantia fruit extractin methotrexate induced liver damage in rats(2022-12-01) ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; KAYA, ÖZLEM TUĞÇE; Özbeyli D., Şen A., Çevik Ö., Erdoğan Ö., Kaya Ö. T., Ede Pazarbaşı S., Şener G.BACKGROUND/AIMS: Methotrexate (MTX), a cytotoxic therapeutic agent, is used for the cure of malignancies and rheumatologic disorders. However, the significant side effects of MTX limits its use. In this study, we aim to assess the hepatoprotective properties of Momordica charantia (MC) against MTX-induced liver damaged in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following one dose of MTX (20 mg/kg), the rats were given either distilled water or MC extract (300 mg/kg, po) for 5 days. After the dissection of the rats, the liver was removed to analyse tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxy-guanosine (8-OhdG) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and caspase-3 activities. The tissues were also examined histopathologically. RESULTS: The hepatic TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β, 8-OhdG levels, and Caspase-3 activity in the MTX group were found to be significantly increased compared to the control group. However, MC extract was able to significantly decrease TNF-α, TGF-β, 8-OhdG levels, and Caspase-3 activity. Also, both the SOD and CAT activity of the MTX group decreased compared to the control group. Although only the SOD levels elevated significantly with MC treatment, the SOD and CAT activities of the MC treated group were similar to the control group. Supporting these biochemical parameters, MTX-induced histologic alterations in the liver were also ameliorated via MC treatment. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that MC has a protective role against MTX-induced hepatic tissue injury by reducing apoptosis, oxidative damage, and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Publication Metadata only Myrtus communis leaf extract protects against cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats(WILEY, 2020) ŞEN, ALİ; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Sen, Ali; Kaya, Ozlem Tugce Cilingir; Ertas, Busra; Aydemir, Sezgin; Ozkan, Naziye; Yuksel, Meral; Sener, GokselIn this study, the aim was to examine the potential protective effects of Myrtus communis subsp. communis leaf ethanol extract (MC) treatment against acute pancreatitis (AP) in rats. Thirty-two rats were grouped as the saline-pretreated control (C), MC-pretreated control (MC), saline-pretreated AP (AP), and MC-pretreated AP (MC + AP) groups. To induce AP, cerulein was administered (50 mu g/kg) two times. The rats were given MC for 14 days before cerulein injection. Six hours after the final cerulein injection, the rats were sacrificed. Pancreatic damage was associated with an increase in the serum activity of lipase and amylase, the pancreatic activity of myeloperoxidase, and the pancreatic level of malondialdehyde, interleukin-1 beta, and interleukin-6. AP also led to a decrease in the pancreatic level of anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 and glutathione. Pretreatment with MC before the induction of AP significantly reduced the pancreatic damage observed during the histological examination as well as reversed the biochemical changes evoked by AP. Practical applications Acute pancreatitis is characterized by high mortality (average about 5%; severe cases may reach about 30%). The current treatment for acute pancreatitis is mainly symptomatic. The introduction of herbal drugs may lead to the development of a new strategy in the treatment of this disease. This study revealed that MC reduced pancreatic injury by decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, increasing antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10. To the authors' knowledge, this research is the first report showing that MC inhibits the development of AP. This observation suggests that MC may be useful in the prevention and the treatment of AP in clinical settings.Publication Metadata only Investigation of possible neuroprotective effects of some plant extracts on brain in bile duct ligated rats(WILEY, 2021) ŞEN, ALİ; Ozel, Armagan Begum; Cilingir-Kaya, Ozlem Tugce; Sener, Goksel; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Sen, Ali; Sacan, Ozlem; Yanardag, Refiye; Yarat, AysenThis study aimed to investigate the possible neuroprotective effects of bitter melon (BM), chard, and parsley extracts on oxidative damage that may occur in the brain of rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced biliary cirrhosis. It was observed that lipid peroxidation (LPO), sialic acid (SA), and nitric oxide (NO) levels increased; glutathione (GSH) levels, catalase (CAT) activity, and tissue factor (TF) activity decreased significantly in the BDL group. However, in groups with BDL given BM, chard, and parsley extracts LPO, SA, NO levels decreased; GSH levels and CAT activities increased significantly. No significant differences were observed between groups in total protein, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, and boron. Histological findings were supported by the biochemical results. BM, chard, and parsley extracts were effective in the regression of oxidant damage caused by cirrhosis in the brain tissues. Practical applications Bitter melon (BM), chard, and parsley have antioxidant properties due to their bioactive compounds which are involved in scavenging free radicals, suppressing their production, and stimulating the production of endogenous antioxidant compounds. Since BM, chard, and parsley extracts were found to be effective in the regression of oxidant damage caused by cirrhosis in the brain tissues, these plant extracts may be an alternative in the development of different treatment approaches against brain damage in cirrhosis. At the same time, these species have been used as food by the people for many years. Therefore, they can be used safely as neuroprotective agents in treatment.Publication Open Access Therapeutic effects of momordica charantia L. Ethanolic extract on acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats(2021-01-01) ŞEN, ALİ; KAYA, ÖZLEM TUĞÇE; ŞENKARDEŞ, İSMAİL; ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; ÖZBEYLİ D., ŞEN A., Aykac A., Terali K., Cilingir-Kaya Ö. T., ŞENKARDEŞ İ., Sener G.© 2021 European Journal of Biology. All rights reserved.Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of Momordica charantia L. (MoC) ethanolic extract on ulcerative colitis (UC) and was explored in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into control (C), saline-treated colitis (AA), MoC extract-treated colitis (AA+MoC), and sulfasalazine (SS)-treated colitis (AA+SS) groups. Colitis was induced by acetic acid. MoC extract, SS or saline were given to the related groups for 3 days. Interleukine-1β, malondialdehyde, glutathione levels, myeloperoxidase activity, bax/bcl-2 ratio, caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels were measured in colon and macroscopic and histopathologic examinations were done. Total phenolic/flavonoid content and biological activity of MoC were evaluated by in vitro analysis. Results: Compared to the control group, with acetic acid application interleukin-1β levels, myeloperoxidase activity, malondialdehyde levels, bax/bcl-2 ratio, caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels were significantly upregulated, while glutathione levels were significantly decreased in the AA group. In contrast, MoC and SS treatments reduced interleukin-1β, malondialdehyde levels, myeloperoxidase activity, bax/bcl-2 ratio, and caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels. Glutathione levels increased upon MoC or SS treatment. Increased macroscopic and microscopic scoring with AA improved with MoC or SS treatment, but the MoC or SS treated groups had higher score values than the control. Also, in vitro results showed that MoC exhibited 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl and 2,2\"-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging activity as well as significant antilipoxygenase activity. In addition, MoC extract showed a potent anti-inflammatory activity compared to standard indomethacin. Conclusion: Our biochemical, in vitro and histopathologic analysis indicate that MoC is likely to prove beneficial in UC therapy.Publication Metadata only Protective effects of different exercise modalities in an Alzheimer's disease-like model(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Sari, Gulce; Ozkan, Naziye; Karademir, Betul; Yuksel, Meral; Kaya, Ozlem Tugce Cilingir; Cakir, Ozgur KasimayOur aim was to investigate the probable protective effects of aerobic, resistance and combined exercise methods on ovariectomy and D-galactose induced Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-like model. D-galactose (100 mg/kg) or saline were administered intraperitoneally for 6 weeks to ovariectomized or sham-operated rats (n = 8/group). Aerobic (AE), resistance (RE) and combined exercises (CE) (aerobic + resistance) were performed for 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Anxiety level and cognitive functions were evaluated via hole-board and object recognition tests. Brain myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, nitric oxide activity, lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, glutathione and serum insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) assays were done. Hippocampal mRNA levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and amyloid precursor protein 695 (APP695) were measured. Amyloid Beta (A beta), NGF, BDNF, IGF-I immunoreactive neurons were evaluated. Freezing time were increased in AD like model and decreased back with AE (p <0.05). Deteriorated working memory in AD-like model was improved with all exercise types (p < 0.05-0.001). Reduced glutathione levels in AD-like model were increased and increased malondialdehyde levels were reduced and serum IGF-I levels were increased by all exercises (p < 0.05-0.001). Increased APP mRNA levels in AD-like model were decreased via CE (p < 0.05). Elevated AP scores in AD-like model were decreased by RE and CE (p < 0.01) in hippocampus and by all exercise types in cortex (p < 0.05-0.01). Decreased cortical NGF immunocytochemical scores of AD-like model were increased by CE (p < 0.05). Different exercise models may have protective effects in development stage of AD via reducing oxidative stress and A beta scores, and by improving antioxidant system and brain plasticity.

T. , ÖZBEYLİ D., Suer K.© 2022 IEEE.In an experimental rat model of acute cerulein-induced pancreatitis, we aimed to investigate the ability of the deep neural network-based program to distinguish damaged cell structures in histological preparations derived from rat pancreatic tissues. After the pancreatic tissues of all rats underwent the paraffin procedure, 3-4 pm thick sections were taken from the paraffin blocks, stained with hematoxylin-eosin dye, evaluated with a light microscope and photographed using a light microscope. 89 mixed-size microscopic images are resized at 224*224 diameter. The datasets were divided into train, validation and test groups. The algorithm used in this study was based on the NAS-Net-Mobile and ResNet-101 models from MATLAB Transfer Learning. By increasing the number of samples in the method we use in histology, both the evaluation performance and time consumption are reduced with the Al we use. The accuracy rate we obtained with NAS-Net mobile was determined to be higher than ResNet-101.
