    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 Kasimay
    Our 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.

    NESFATIN-1 PROTECTS FROM ACUTE PANCREATITIS: ROLE OF MELANOCORTIN RECEPTORS
    (POLISH PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2019) ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; Buzcu, H.; Ozbevli, D.; Yuksel, M.; Kava, O. T. Cilingir; Cakir, O. Kasimav
    Nesfatin-1, a recently discovered peptide, was shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening condition caused by various reasons. Although the etiology of AP is well-known, its pathogenesis is not clear. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory role of nesfatin-1 and its probable protective underlying mechanisms in an acute pancreatitis model. Caerulein was applied intraperitoneally to induce acute pancreatitis in Sprague-Dawley female rats. Nesfatin-1 was administered 5 minutes before the application of caerulein to determine its potential anti-inflammatory role on AP. Five minutes before nesfatin-1 injection, in order to investigate the underlying mechanism, oxytocin receptor antagonist (atosiban), melanocortin receptor antagonist (HS024), or ghrelin receptor antagonist (cortistatin) were administered. Five minutes after nesfatin-1 administration, two doses of caerulein were applied one hour apart. The rats were sacrified 12 hours after the first caerulein dose for serum and pancreatic tissue sampling. Microscopic damage scoring, malondialdehyde and glutathione levels, myeloperoxidase activity, luminol and lucigenin chemiluminescence levels in pancreatic tissue and amylase, lipase, trypsinogen-2 levels in serum were evaluated. Oxidative damage was decreased with nesfatin-1 treatment in the acute pancreatitis model (P < 0.05 - 0.001). The administration of HS024 reversed the effect of nesfatin-1, via increasing lipase, amylase, trypsinogen-2, malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lucigenin levels (P < 0.05 - 0.01). Atosiban pre-treatment elevated MPO activity, luminol and lucigenin chemiluminescence levels (P < 0.01 - 0.001) and cortistatin increased lucigenin and luminol chemiluminescence (P < 0.05 - 0.01). Although receptor antagonists reversed the effect of nesfatin-1 on related biochemical parameters, no significant difference was found in histological scoring. Our results indicated that nesfatin-1 had an anti-inflammatory effect on acute pancreatitis via mainly effecting melanocortin receptors.
