Abstract

Septicemia caused by Gram-negative bacteria is an infection associated with liver dysfunction. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid found in vegetables and fruits and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytoprotective and antiallergic properties. This research aims to investigate the effects of quercetin on the liver against tissue damage due to sepsis-induced oxidative stress. Thirty-two male rats were used in the study. The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups. Quercetin was dissolved in 20 mg/kg of olive oil daily for 15 days and given through oral gavage. The cecal-ligation sepsis model was applied to the group 3 and group 4. In histopathological evaluation; inflammation involving moderate neutrophils and lymphocytes was observed in most portal areas in the group where sepsis was created (Group 3). In the sepsis group administered quercetin (Group 4) only a few portal areas had a milder inflammation with fewer neutrophils than the sepsis group. There was a significant difference between group 3, 4, and all other groups in ALT and AST values. A significant difference was observed between group 3, 4 and other groups in terms of tissue MDA, GSH levels. It was concluded that quercetin, a powerful antioxidant, can reduce liver damage caused by sepsis and has the potential to be used to help treat sepsis.

Özet

Gram negatif bakterilerin yol açtığı septisemi, karaciğer fonksiyon bozukluğu ile ilişkili bir enfeksiyondur. Kuersetin, sebzeler ve meyvelerde bulunan doğal bir flavonoid olup antienflamatuar, antioksidan, sitoprotektif ve antialerjik etkilidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı sepsis kaynaklı oksidatif stress sonucu olaşan doku hasarına karşı kuersetinin karaciğer üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada 32 erkek sıçan kullanıldı. Hayvanlar randomize olarak 5 gruba ayrıldı. Kursetin, 15 gün boyunca, günlük 20 mg/kg zeytinyağı içerisinde çözülerek oral gavaj ile verildi. Çekal ligasyonlu sepsis modeli grup 3 ve 4’e uygulandı. Histopatolojik değerlendirmede sepsis oluşturulan grupta (Grup 3) portal alanların çoğunda orta derecede nötrofilleri ve lenfositleri içeren inflamasyon izlendi. Kuarsetin uygulanan sepsis grubunda (Grup 4) sadece birkaç portal alanda sepsis grubuna göre daha az nötrofil içeren daha hafif bir inflamasyon mevcuttu. ALT ve AST değerlerinde grup 3, 4 ile diğer tüm gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık vardı. Doku MDA, GSH Düzeyleri açısından grup 3, 4 ile diğer gruplar arasında anlamlı olarak farklılık gözlendi. Güçlü bir antioksidan olan kuersetinin sepsisin neden olduğu karaciğer hasarını azaltabileceği ve sepsis tedavisine yardımcı olarak kullanılma potansiyeline sahip olacağı sonucuna varıldı.
