Publication Metadata only Protective and therapeutic effects of resveratrol on acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2009) YEGEN, BERRAK; Solmaz, Ali; Sener, Goeksel; Cetinel, Sule; Yueksel, Meral; Yegen, Cumhur; Yegen, Berrak C.Sprague Dawley rats of both sexes were injected with either saline or RVT (10 mg/kg) either before or after acetic acid ulcer induction and decapitated 3, 5 or 10 days after ulcer. In the saline-treated ulcer groups, macroscopically evident ulcers were observed, while RVT-pretreated or RVT-treated groups had lower macroscopic ulcer scores. Likewise, the microscopic damage scores were lower for the RVT-administered groups. Gastric myeloperoxidase activity, malondialdehyde, collagen and tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels, as well as luminol- and lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence levels that were elevated in the saline-administered ulcer groups, were depressed with both RVT-pretreatment and RVT-treatment. Moreover, depleted glutathione levels in the ulcer groups were increased back to control levels by both pre- and post-treatments of RVT. Results demonstrate that resveratrol has both protective and therapeutic effects on oxidative gastric damage by suppressing pro-inflammatory cascades, including the activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, accumulation of neutrophils and release of oxygen-derived free radicals.Publication Open Access Protective effect of betaine against burn-induced pulmonary injury in rats(TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2015) YEGEN, BERRAK; Sehirli, Ahmet Ozer; Satilmis, Burcu; Tetik, Sermin; Cetinel, Sule; Yegen, Berrak; Aykac, Asli; Sener, GokseiBACKGROUND: This study was designed to determine possible protective effect of betaine treatment against oxidative injury in pulmonary tissue induced with thermal trauma. METHODS: Under ether anesthesia, shaved dorsum of Wistar albino rats was exposed to a 90 degrees C water bath for 10 seconds to induce burn injury. Betaine was administered orally (250 mg/kg) for a period of 21 days before burn injury, and single dose of betaine was administered after thermal injury. Control group rats were exposed to 25 degrees C water bath for 10 seconds. Upon conclusion of experiment, rats were decapitated and blood was collected for analysis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Lung tissue samples were taken to determine malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and Na+/K+-ATPase activity, in addition to histological analysis. RESULTS: Burn injury caused significant increase in both cytokine levels and LDH activity. In lung samples, raised MDA levels, MPO activity, and reduced GSH levels and Na+/K+-ATPase activity were found due to burn injury. CONCLUSION: Treatment of rats with betaine significantly restored GSH level and Na+/K+-ATPase activity, and decreased MDA level and MPO activity. According to the findings of the present study, betaine significantly diminishes burn-induced damage in tissue.Publication Metadata only Resveratrol improves ifosfamide-induced Fanconi syndrome in rats(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2007) VELİOĞLU ÖĞÜNÇ, AYLİZ; Sehirli, Ozer; Sakarcan, Abdullah; Velioglu-Oeguenc, Ayliz; Cetinel, Sule; Gedik, Nursal; Yegen, Berrak C.; Sener, GoekselRegarding the mechanisms of ifosfamide (IFO)-induced urinary toxicity, several hypotheses have been put forward, among which oxidative stress and depletion of glutathione are suggested. This investigation elucidates the role of free radicals in IFO-induced toxicity and the protection by resveratrol, a natural phytoalexin. Wistar albino rats were injected intraperioneally with saline (0.9% NaCl; control), saline+ resveratrol (RVT; 10 mg/kg/day), ifosfamide (IFO; 50 mg/kg/day) or IFO+RVT for 5 days. Urine was collected for 24 h during the 5th day, and at the 120th h after the first injections, annuals were killed by decapitation and trunk blood was collected. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, total antioxidant capacity (AOC) and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-beta and IL-6 were assayed in plasma samples. Kidney and bladder tissues were obtained for biochemical and histological analysis. Formation of reactive oxygen species in the tissue samples was monitored by using chemiluminescence (CL) technique with luminol and lucigenin probes. The results demonstrated that IFO induced a Fanconi syndrome characterized by increased urinary sodium, phosphate, glucose and protein, along with increased serum creatinine and urea levels. On the other hand, RVT markedly ameliorated the severity of renal dysfunction induced by IFO. Furthermore IFO caused a significant decrease in plasma AOC. which was accompanied with significant increases in the levels of the pro-inflammatory mediators and LDH activity, while RVT treatment reversed all these biochemical indices. In the saline-treated IFO group, glutathione levels were decreased significantly, while the malondialdehyde levels, myeloperoxidase activity and collagen content were increased in both tissues, which were in parallel with the increases in CL values. In the RVT-treated IFO group, all of these oxidant responses were prevented significantly. Our results suggest that IFO causes oxidative damage in the renal and bladder tissues and resveratrol, via its antioxidant effects, protects these tissues. Therefore, its therapeutic role in proventing the development of chemotherapeutic drug-induced major toxicity in the urinary system requires further elucidation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
