叶酸对乙酰氨基酚诱导的潜在保护作用大鼠肝毒性和肾毒性
摘要:Folic acid (FA), is a group B vitamin, has high reactive oxygen radicals quenchingability, resulting in protection against oxidative damage in aerobic cell. Acetaminophen(N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, APAP) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and can promoteoxidative damage in liver and kidney tissues. The aim of this study was to investigatewhether folic acid has protective effects on oxidative liver and kidney injury caused byexperimental APAP toxication. Forty female Sprague dawley rats were divided into 5 groups;control, APAP, FA, APAP+FA, and APAP+N-acetylcysteine (NAC) groups. APAP toxication wasinduced by oral gavage (3 g/kg bodyweight). FA (20 mg/kg bodyweight) and NAC (150 mg/kgbodyweight) were given by oral gavage to the specified groups. Oxidant and antioxidantparameter were determined in liver and kidney tissues. In addition, the liver and kidneytissues were histological evaluated. When compared with APAP group, superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase activities and glutathione levels were statistically higher,malondialdehyde (MDA) level and myeloperoxidase activity (except liver tissue) werestatistically lower in both APAP+FA and APAP+NAC. Liver and kidney MDA level and kidneySOD activity were significantly lower in APAP+NAC group compared with APAP+FA group.Co-administration of NAC with APAP was found to provide protection, but hepatic cords weredefective in some places and some glomerular tubules also had dilatation. Necrotic areaswas reduced in the liver and the glomerular structure was in good condition in the APAP+FAgroup. As a result, FA might have a protective effect against APAP-inducedhepato-nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat.
