Background: The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in cobalt (Co) toxicity has been the focus of previous studies. Cinnamon and its main components have been reported to have protective effects in various tissues with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Aims: In this study, the protective effect of cinnamon extract (CE) against possible Co-induced heart, kidney, and liver damage in rats was investigated biochemically. Methods: Eighteen albino Wistar-type male rats were categorized into three groups (n = 6 per group): control (CG), CoCL2-administered (CoCL2), and CE + CoCL2-administered (CE + Co) groups. The CE + CoCL2 group was administered CE (100 mg/kg), and the CoCL2 and CG groups were administered distilled water orally by gavage. One hour after the administration, Co (150 mg/kg) was administered orally to the CE + CoCL2 and CoCL2 groups. This procedure was repeated once daily for 7 days. Then, biochemical markers were studied in the excised heart, kidney, and liver tissues. Results: CoCL2 increased oxidants and proinflammatory cytokines and decreased antioxidants in heart, kidney, and liver tissues. Heart, kidney, and liver tissue were affected by Co damage. CE treatment suppressed the CoCL2-induced increase in oxidants and proinflammatory cytokines and decrease in antioxidants in heart, kidney, and liver tissues. CE treatment has been shown to attenuate cardiac damage by reducing serum troponin I (TpI) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), renal damage by reducing creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and liver damage by reducing alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Conclusion: Co induced the production of oxidants and proinflammatory parameters and antioxidant depletion in heart, kidney, and liver tissues of rats. Our experimental results show that CE protects heart, kidney, and liver tissues against oxidative and inflammatory changes induced by CoCLl2.

AIM: To investigate the effect of lacidipine, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and the combination of lacidipine and TPP against oxidative and inflammatory eye damage induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in rats.. METHODS: Male albino Wistar rats were categorized as those who underwent sham surgery (SG), right and left common carotid cross-clamping and unclamping procedure (CCU), lacidipine+CCU (LCCU), TPP+CCU (TCCU), and combination of lacidipine and TPP (LTC)+CCU (LTCCU). One hour before anesthesia, the LCCU (n=6) received lacidipine (4 mg/kg, orally) and the TCCU (n=6) received TPP (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). The SG (n=6) and CCU (n=6) received the same volume of distilled water from the same route. After anesthesia (60 mg/kg ketamine, intraperitoneally), the necks of the rats were opened in the midline. Ischemia was created for 10min by placing clips on the right and left common carotid arteries. Rats in the SG only underwent subcutaneous incision. After 10min, the clips were removed and reperfusion was achieved for six days. Then, the animals were euthanized (120 mg/kg ketamine, intraperitoneally) and the levels of oxidant, antioxidant and proinflammatory cytokines in the eye tissues were determined. The retinal tissue of the eye was also examined histopathologically.. RESULTS: Lacidipine, TPP, and LTC significantly prevent the increase in malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 levels, decrease in total glutathione levels, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and histopathological retinal damage in eye tissue induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in rats. The impact of these drugs on protection is determined to be LTC>lacidipine>TPP.. CONCLUSION: As a result of the study, it is concluded that LTC may be more effective than lacidipine and TPP alone in treating ocular ischemic syndrome.

Isoniazid and rifampicin (IRC) have been shown to cause hepatotoxicity in both clinical and preclinical studies. Oxidative stress and inflammation have been held responsible for the pathogenesis of IRC-induced hepatotoxicity. Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and cinnamon extract (CE) have been shown in previous studies. Therefore, our study investigated the protective effects of TPP and CE on possible liver damage caused by IRC treatment in rats. Twenty-four albino Wistar rats were categorized into four groups: a healthy group (HG), an IRC group (IRG), a TPP+IRC group (TIRG), and a CE+IRC group (CIRG). TPP (25 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to TIRG, while CE (100 mg/kg) was administered orally to CIRG. In IRG, TIRG, and CIRG, isoniazid (50 mg/ kg) and rifampicin (50 mg/kg) were administered orally one hour after these treatments. For seven days, this procedure was repeated once a day. After this period, blood samples were taken from the tail veins, and the rats were sacrificed. The removed liver tissues were analyzed for oxidant, antioxidant, and proinflammatory cytokines and subjected to histopathological evaluation. Serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were also measured. An increase in malondialdehyde, nuclear factor kappa B, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1 beta, and interleukin-6 levels, a decrease in total glutathione levels, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, and an increase in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were found with IRC treatment (p<0.001). The histopathological analysis of the IRG suggested hepatotoxicity (p<0.001). TPP and CE administered with IRC inhibited the biochemical changes (p<0.001). In the TIRG, this inhibition was higher than in the CIRG (p<0.05). Histological damage was inhibited by TPP (p<0.001). CE prevented biochemical changes but not histological changes except inflammatory cell infiltration. Therefore, TPP may be better than CE in preventing IRC-induced hepatotoxicity.

Aim: The current study aimed to investigate the protective effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), metyrosine, and melatonin on possible methylphenidate cardiotoxicity in rats using biochemical and histopathological methods. Methods: Thirty rats were separated into five groups: healthy (HG), methylphenidate (MP), ATP + methylphenidate (ATMP), metyrosine + methylphenidate (MSMP), and melatonin + methylphenidate (MLMP). ATP (5 mg/kg) was given intraperitoneally once daily, metyrosine (50 mg/kg) orally twice daily, and melatonin (10 mg/kg) orally once daily. Methylphenidate (10 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily for 1 h after ATP, metyrosine and melatonin. The protocol was repeated for 30 days. Subsequently, blood samples were taken from the tail veins of the animals to measure adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, troponin I (TP I) and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) levels; the animals were then euthanized and the heart tissues were extracted. Tissues were analyzed for malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (tGSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) and histopathologically. Results: In MP group, MDA, adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, TP I, and CK-MB levels increased (p < 0.001) and tGSH, SOD, and CAT levels decreased (p < 0.001) compared to HG, and histopathologic damage developed. Oxidant levels were lower and antioxidant levels were higher in ATMP, MSMP, and MLMP groups compared to MP group (p < 0.001). Catecholamine levels were measured lower in the MSMP group compared to the MP group (p < 0.001). TP I and CK-MB levels were lower in ATMP, MSMP and MLMP groups compared to MP (p < 0.05), with the lowest being in rats given ATP (p < 0.001). ATP, melatonin, and metirozin applications were effective to different degrees in preventing histopathological changes. Conclusion: This study may guide clinical trials using ATP and melatonin to prevent methylphenidate-induced myocardial injury.

Background: Infertility caused by drugs that inhibit serotonin reuptake has been attributed to serotonin toxicity. Serotonin has been linked to cause a rise in prolactin and cortisol. This study examined the effects of meperidine, sertraline, tianeptine and combinations on female rat reproductive function. Methods: Female rats were split into 8 groups (n=7): healthy control (HG), meperidine (MG), sertraline (SG), tianeptine (TG), meperidine+sertraline (MSG), meperidine+tianeptine (MTG), sertraline+tianeptine (STG), meperidine+sertraline+tianeptine (MSTG). Meperidine (20 mg/kg, 2×1) was injected intramuscularly. Sertraline (30 mg/kg, 1×1) and tianeptine (5 mg/kg, 1×1) were given orally. The HG received distilled water as solvent. Treatments continued for 20 days. Then, adult males were added to the rat groups and drug treatment continued for another five days. Blood samples were collected on day 26 for biochemical tests. Results: Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were not statistically significant between groups (p>0.05). Meperidine (p<0.001) and sertraline (p<0.001) alone increased prolactin levels in comparison to HG and tianeptine inhibited the increase (p<0.001). While meperidine increased corticosterone levels versus HG (p<0.001), sertraline and tianeptine were close to HG (p>0.05). Number of infertile animals was 6 for meperidine, 3 for sertraline, and none for tianeptine. While the duration of pregnancy in MG (15 days) and SG (15 days) was longer compared to HG (2.86 days), no change was observed in TG (2.5 days). Conclusion: Tianeptine and other serotonin re-uptake stimulants may be useful in the treatment of reproductive dysfunction and infertility due to serotonin re-uptake inhibitor treatment.

Background: The toxic effects of doxorubicin and cisplatin in various organs have been associated with oxidative stress. Studies have shown that Usnea longissima has strong antioxidant effects. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of ethyl acetate extract from Usnea longissima (ULE), which is known to have strong antioxidant effects, on chemotherapeutic-induced heart, kidney, liver, and ovarian toxicity. Methods: Albino Wistar female rats were divided into five groups (12 rats per group): healthy (HG), doxorubicin (DOX), Cisplatin (CIS), Doxorubicin+ ULE (DULE), Cisplatin+ ULE (CULE). In this experiment, ULE was given 100 mg/kg orally. After 1 hour, 2.5 mg/kg doxorubicin and 2.5 mg/kg cisplatin were administered intraperitoneally. Drug treatments continued once a day for seven days. At the end of seven days, six rats from each group were euthanized and heart, kidney, liver, and ovary tissues were analyzed biochemically. The remaining rats were left in the laboratory with male rats for 45 days for reproduction. Results: ULE inhibited chemotherapeutic-induced increase in malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin 6 and a decrease in total glutathione in liver, kidney, and ovarian tissues. ULE also inhibited the increase of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase in serum. ULE treatment had no protective effect against doxorubicin and cisplatin cardiac toxicity. On the other hand, ULE also decreased the delay in pregnancy induced by chemotherapy. Conclusion: ULE may be considered an adjuvant therapy in patients receiving chemotherapy to reduce liver, kidney, and ovarian toxicity.

Background and Objective: The toxic effect of atorvastatin on the liver has been associated with oxidative stress. The Liv-52 is a polyherbal formulation with known hepatoprotective properties. In this study, the preventive effect of Liv-52 against the potential hepatotoxicity of atorvastatin was investigated. Materials and Methods: Eighteen rats were categorized into three groups of six rats each: Healthy group (HG), atorvastatin-treated group (ATC) and Liv-52+atorvastatin-treated group (LAT). The Liv-52 was orally administered at 50 mg kg(-1) and atorvastatin was orally given at 20 mg kg(-1) after 1 hr of Liv-52 administration. The Liv-52 and atorvastatin were administered once daily for two months. At the end of two months, blood samples were collected from the rats. Subsequently, rats were sacrificed under high-dose (50 mg kg(-1)) thiopental anesthesia and liver tissues were extracted. Biochemical analysis of extracted liver tissues and serum was performed. Liver tissues were additionally analyzed for histopathology. Results: The Liv-52+atorvastatin administration inhibited the atorvastatin-induced increase in malondialdehyde and decreased total glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in the liver tissues. In addition, the rats receiving Liv-52 had lower levels of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase compared to the atorvastatin group. Histopathologic analysis demonstrated that Liv-52 protected the liver tissue against atorvastatin-induced injury. Conclusion: The Liv-52 therapy may be useful in preventing atorvastatin-induced liver injury.

Background and Objective: Amiodarone-induced kidney damage is associated with an increase in oxidant and proinflammatory cytokines. This study was planned to investigate the effect of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) on amiodarone-induced oxidative and inflammatory kidney damage in rats on both a biochemical and histopathological basis. Materials and Methods: Albino Wistar-type male rats (6 rats per group) were divided into healthy (HG), amiodarone (ADG) and amiodarone+TPP (TAG) groups. The TPP (20 mg kg(-1)) and amiodarone (50 mg kg(-1)) treatment continued for 14 days. Analyzes of oxidant, antioxidant and proinflammatory cytokines in excised kidney tissues and creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in serum were performed. Results: The amiodarone treated rats showed an increase in malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 6 levels, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the kidney tissue while a decrease was observed in total glutathione as compared to healthy animals (p<0.001). In addition, histopathological damage occurred in the kidney tissues of the ADG group. It was determined that TPP prevented biochemical changes and histopathological damage significantly (p<0.001). Conclusion: By acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, TPP might protect kidney tissue from amiodarone-induced damage.

Background and Objective: The torsion and subsequent detortion of the ovaries causes oxidative and inflammatory damage. Cinnamon is an herbal agent with many activities such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This study investigates biochemically and histopathologically the protective effect of cinnamon extract (CE) in potential ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury induced by torsion detorsion of ovarian tissue in rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into healthy (HG), sham operation (SOG), ovarian I/R (OIR) and CE (100 mg kgG1 CE, oral, 6 days)+ovarian I/R (COIR) groups. For I/R, right ovaries were subjected to ischaemia for 3 hrs followed by reperfusion for 6 days. Ovarian tissues were analysed for oxidants, antioxidants and proinflammatory cytokines. The histological structure of the excised tissues was also examined. Results: Oxidants (malondialdehyde) and proinflammatory cytokines (nuclear factor kappa B, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-beta, interleukin-6) increased and antioxidants (total glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase) decreased in ovarian tissues of OIR compared to HG (p<0.001). Oxidant and proinflammatory cytokines were lower and antioxidants were higher in rats receiving CE treatment with the I/R procedure compared to OIR (p<0.001). Histological damage observed in the OIR group was found to be attenuated in the COIR group. Conclusion: The CE may protect the ovarian tissue from I/R damage with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Background and Objective: Exposure of the brain to Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) may cause tissue damage through oxidative stress. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), which has a protective effect against oxidative stress, is the active metabolite of vitamin B-1. In this study, the protective effect of TPP against possible I/R damage of brain tissue was investigated. Materials and Methods: Thirty rats were randomly divided into BIR, TIR and HG groups consisting of ten rats. In the TIR group, 20 mg kgG1 TPP was injected intraperitoneally (ip). After 1 hr, clips were placed in the common carotid arteries of the BIR and TIR groups under anesthesia. Brain tissue was subjected to ischemia for 10 min. Afterward, the clips were opened and 3 hrs of reperfusion was achieved. In the HG group, only subcutaneous incisions were made and closed. Then, the brain tissues removed by euthanasia were biochemically analyzed. Results: While, I/R increased malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin-1 beta (IL-beta) and 8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OHGua) levels in brain tissues, total caused a decrease in glutathione (tGSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPO) and glutathione reductase (GSHRd) levels (p<0.001). The TPP applied before I/R significantly prevented these changes (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of biochemical tests suggested that TPP may be beneficial in preventing possible brain damage due to I/R.

Taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) is a flavanonol isolated from various plants and has antioxidant effects. The aim of our study was to macroscopically and biochemically investigate the effects of taxifolin on aspirin-induced oxidative gastric damage in rats and to evaluate them by comparison with those of famotidine. Rats were divided into four drug administration groups: a healthy control group, an aspirin-only group (ASG), a taxifolin + aspirin group (TASG), and a famotidine + aspirin group (FASG). The results revealed that in light of the results that we obtained, 50 mg/kg taxifolin had anti-ulcer effects. At this dose, taxifolin was able to bring COX-1 activities to a level close to those seen in healthy rats with appropriate macroscopic, oxidant/antioxidant, and biochemical parameters. Based on these results, it can be said that taxifolin may be successfully used as a more potent alternative to famotidine, which is the currently accepted treatment for aspirin-induced ulcers.

Background: Acrylamide causes hepatotoxicity with the effect of oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Carvacrol is a monoterpenic phenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Aims: To determine the effects of carvacrol on oxidative liver injury induced by acrylamide administration in rats. Methods: Rats were divided into three groups of six animals each: healthy group acrylamide group (ACR), and acrylamide + carvacrol group (TACR). First, carvacrol (50 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to the CACR group. One hour later, acrylamide (20 mg/kg) was given orally to the ACR and CACR groups. This procedure was performed for 30 days, after which the animals were sacrificed. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and total glutathione (tGSH) levels, total oxidant (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), and nuclear factor kappa b (NF-κB) were measured in the excised liver tissues. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were determined in blood serum samples. Liver tissues were also examined histopathologically. Results: In the ACR group, malondialdehyde, TOS, ALT, AST levels, and NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels were found to be high, and tGSH and total antioxidant status levels were low. In addition, diffuse degenerative changes and necrosis in hepatocytes, and moderate inflammation in the portal region were detected in the liver tissues of the ACR group. While carvacrol prevented the biochemical changes induced by acrylamide, it also alleviated the damage in the histological structure. Conclusion: Carvacrol may be used for liver damage caused by acrylamide.

Introduction: In clinical practice, inadequate pain inhibition leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Increased intracellular calcium, oxidants, and proinflammatory cytokines are known to play a role in the pathogenesis of postoperative pain. Therefore, we investigated the analgesic effects of benidipine, paracetamol, and benidipine-paracetamol combination (BPC) on postoperative and normal pain thresholds in rats. Material and methods: Sixty-four male albino Wistar rats weighing 285–295 g were used. The without-incision rats were divided into 4 subgroups: healthy control, benidipine alone, paracetamol alone, and BPC. The scalpel-incision rats were divided into 4 subgroups: scalpel incision, scalpel incision + benidipine, scalpel incision + paracetamol, and scalpel incision + BPC. Paw pain thresholds of rats were measured using a Basile algesimeter. Biochemical analyses were performed on the paw tissues of 6 rats randomly taken from the experimental groups, each containing 8 rats. Rats were sacrificed immediately after the measurements. After the pain threshold tests were finished, the paw tissues were removed and malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (tGSH), cyclooxygenase (COX), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in paw pain threshold and measured biochemical parameters in rats without incision. The decrease in the pain threshold of the incised paw was also best prevented by BPC, followed by benidipine and then paracetamol. Furthermore, increases in scalpel-incised paw tissue MDA, COX-2, and IL-6 levels and the decrease in tGSH were significantly suppressed by benidipine and BPC, while paracetamol could only significantly inhibit the increase in IL-6 production. Conclusion: The combination of the L-type Ca2+ channel blocker benidipine and paracetamol (BPC) may provide potent analgesia. Our experimental results support that BPC may be useful in the treatment of severe pain that cannot be adequately inhibited by paracetamol.

Background. Epilepsy is a severe neurological disease that results from excessive and/or synchronized neuronal activity in the brain, and oxidative stress plays a role in its pathogenesis. Taxifolin is a flavonoid that exhibits antioxidant activity. Objectives. To investigate the effects of taxifolin on caffeine-induced epileptic seizures in rats and reveal the role of antioxidant activity in antiepileptic therapy. Materials and methods. Forty rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 6/group): caffeine 300 mg/kg group (CG), taxifolin 50 mg/kg + caffeine 300 mg/kg group (TCG), 2 mg/kg diazepam + 300 mg/kg caffeine group (DCG), and a healthy group (HG). Taxifolin was given to the TCG, and diazepam was given to the DCG orally. One hour later, caffeine was injected intraperitoneally into the CG, TCG and DCG rats. The time between the caffeine injection and the contractions (the latency period) was determined. Animals were euthanized 1 h after caffeine injection, and brain tissues were biochemically examined for oxidants and antioxidants. Results. Taxifolin and diazepam prolonged the latency period to a similar extent (p = 0.549), while taxifolin was more successful in preventing mortality. Taxifolin suppressed the caffeine-induced increase in myeloperoxidase, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index, and decreased total glutathione, superoxide dismutase and total antioxidant status more effectively than diazepam (p < 0.05). Conclusions. We showed the relationship between antioxidant activity and epilepsy treatment, and demonstrated that taxifolin may be useful for treating epilepsy.

Bevacizumab is the anticancer drug used as an anti-angiogenic inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A. Bevacizumab causes toxicity by decreasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and increasing through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Male Albino Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups healthy (HG), bevacizumab administered (BVZ) and ATP+bevacizumab administered (ATP+BVZ). In the ATP+BVZ group, 25mg/kg ATP was injected between the mandibular gingiva and the bone. One hour after the application, 10 mg/kg bevacizumab was administrated intraperitoneally to the ATP+BVZ and BVZ groups. Two doses of bevacizumab were administered on the 1st and 15th days. ATP administration was continued once a day for 30 days. intoATP significantly prevented the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels and the decrease in total glutathione (tGSH) and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels in the mandible bone tissue. ATP alleviated the histopathological damage associated with bevacizumab.

SUMMARY. Alcohol consumption can have dramatic effects on organs and tissue cells, with kidneys being some of the most affected organs. This study investigates the effect of lycopene on ethanol-induced oxidative kidney damage in rats. Albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups. The first group served as the healthy group (HG), receiving distilled water as a solvent; the second group was the ethanol group (EtON), receiving only ethanol; the third group received both lycopene and ethanol (LEt). While ethanol ad-ministration increased malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels, it caused a decrease in total glutathione (tGSH) and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels. Also, ethanol caused histopathological damage to the kidney. It has been observed that lycopene inhibits ethanol-induced biochemical and histopathological changes in kidney tissue. Lycopene inhibited the change in the oxidant-anti-oxidant balance towards oxidants under ethanol treatment and prevented ethanol-associated kidney oxidative damage.

Many types of stress, including psychological stress, negatively affect reproductive health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sertraline (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), cerebrolysin (neuroprotective/neurotrophic), and a combination of both against stress-induced ovarian damage, infertility and pregnancy delay in female rats. The rats were divided into five groups (n=14/each group) as healthy (HG), stress control (StC), stress+sertraline (SS), stress+cerebrolysin (SC), and stress+sertraline+cerebrolysin (SSC). To induce stress, animals (except the HG) were kept in a supine position with their forelimbs and hindlimbs (FIM) tied for one hour. Then, sertraline (20mg/kg) was given orally to the SS. Cerebrolysin (2.5ml/kg) was injected into the SC subcutaneously. Sertraline+cerebrolysin was administered to SSC with the same methods and doses. FIM and drug administration continued for 30 days. Six rats from each group were euthanized with high-dose anesthesia, right and left ovarian tissues were removed, and tissues were examined biochemically and histopathologically. The remaining rats were taken for breeding. Exposure to stress in rats caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and a decrease in total glutathione (tGSH). Stress was related to histopathological damage, infertility, and delayed birth. The sertraline and cerebrolysin combination was the most effective in preventing these changes, with sertraline and cerebrolysin alone in second and third places, respectively. Regarding efficacy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and related drugs may be beneficial in treating stress-related ovarian damage, infertility, and delay in pregnancy.

Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition from the therapeutic effects of NSAIDs and COX-1 inhibition from toxic effects are held responsible. It is known that nimesulide has formed a protective effect by inhibiting the decrease in COX-1 activity and the increase in COX-2 activity. In this study animals were divided into healthy (HG), paw-scalpel incision (PSI) control (PSIC), PSI+nimesulide (PSIN), PSI+ketorolac (PSIK), and PSI+nimesulide+ketorolac (PSI+NKC) administered groups. Nimesulide was administered orally(50 mg/kg), and ketorolac was administered intra-peritoneally(5 mg/kg). Nimesulide and ketorolac showed similar analgesia (p = 0.194), while NKC provided the best analgesia (p < 0.001). Nimesulide inhibited the increase of oxidant and COX-2 in gastric tissue and increased antioxidant and COX-1 levels, protecting the stomach tissue from ketorolac damage(p < 0.01). In addition, NKC reduced the area and number of ketorolac-induced gastric ulcers in the stomach (p<0.001). Nimesulide also prevented ketorolac-induced renal dysfunction (p < 0.001).

SUMMARY. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial pathogen that can cause oxidative stress. Carvacrol has anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. This study evaluated the antibacterial effect of carvacrol and its effect on liver damage by S. aureus. The rats were divided into four groups: con-trol(HG), S. aureus injected (SaG), S. aureus + carvacrol (SaC), and S. aureus + cefazolin (SaCF). S. aureus was injected intraperitoneally (ip) to the SaG, SaC and SaCF groups. 24 h after the injection, carvacrol was given to the SaC group and cefazolin to the SaCF group as ip. Carvacrol and cefazolin administration was continued for 7 days. According to our antibiogram results, although the antibacterial effect of carvacrol was weaker than cefazolin, it prevented the increase of malondialdehyde (MDA), aminotransferase (ALT), aspar-tate aminotransferase (AST) and proinflammatory cytokines and the decrease of total glutathione (tGSH) better (p < 0.001). It also managed histopathological damage better than cefazolin. The results indicate that carvacrol may be helpful in the treatment of liver damage from infection.
