Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the blood levels of vitamin C, cortisol, and leptin, depending on the vitamin C supplementation administered orally at high dose intervals in rats. A total of 21 female Wistar Albino rats aged 6-9 months were randomly divided into three groups, each group containing seven animals. The first group is the control group, and the experiment groups are Vitamin C (1000 mg/kg CA group, orally), Vitamin C (3000 mg/kg CA group, orally). At the end of the total experiment period of 10 days, blood samples were taken into the serum tube as intracardiac. Vitamin C, cortisol, and leptin levels were determined from serum. It was found that there was no difference between the groups in serum vitamin C, cortisol, and leptin levels in blood samples. As a result, it has been observed that high-dose vitamin C supplements administered orally are not an effective way to increase the vitamin C pool in the body.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sıçanlarda yüksek doz aralıklarında oral uygulanan vitamin C takviyesine bağlı olarak vitamin C, kortizol ve leptinin kan düzeylerindeki değişiklikleri belirlemektir. Toplam 21 adet 6-9 aylık yaşta Wistar Albino türü dişi sıçan rastgele olarak grup başına 7 hayvan içerecek şekilde üç gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grup kontrol grubu iken, deney grupları şu şekilde düzenlenmiştir: Vitamin C (1000mg/kg CA grubu, oral yoldan), Vitamin C (3000mg/kg CA grubu, oral yoldan). On günlük toplam deney süresi sonunda kan örnekleri İntrakardiak olarak serum tüplerine alındı. Serumda vitamin C, kortizol ve leptin düzeyleri belirlendi. Yapılan uygulamaların serum vitamin C, kortizol ve leptin düzeylerine etki etmediği bulundu. Sonuç olarak, oral olarak uygulanan yüksek doz vitamin C takviyesinin vücuttaki C vitamini havuzunu artırmanın etkili yolu olmadığı görüldü.
