Abstract

Aim: Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is an important corneal defense enzyme for protecting against hydrogen peroxides and lipid peroxides. In the present study, corneal GPx activities aft er alkali burn of the cornea were evaluated in rabbits. Materials and methods: Corneal alkali burn was created in the right eye of 10 rabbits by applying a 6 mm round fi lter paper soaked in 1 N NaOH onto the central cornea for 60 s. Th e right eyes of 10 healthy rabbits served as controls. Th e corneal GPx activities were determined by the method of Paglia and Valentina, 10 days aft er the burn. Results: GPx activities were reduced signifi cantly in alkali burned corneas compared to the normal controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Th e data suggest that decreased GPx activities predispose the cornea to injury from reactive oxygen radicals, besides the initial chemical damage of alkali burn.

Özet

Amaç: Glutatyon peroksidaz (GPx), korneada hidrojen peroksit ve lipid peroksitlere karşı önemli bir savunma enzimidir. Bu çalışmada, tavşanlarda korneadaki GPx aktivitesi, korneal alkali yanık sonrası değerlendirildi. Yöntem ve gereç: Korneal alkali yanık, 10 tavşanın sağ göz kornea merkezine, 1 N NaOH emdirilmiş 6 mm çaplı fi ltre kağıdı 60 saniye tatbik edilerek oluşturuldu. 10 sağlıklı tavşanın sağ gözü kontrol olarak kullanıldı. Yanık sonrası 10. günde, Paglia ve Valentina yöntemi ile korneal GPx aktivitesi değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Alkali yanıklı kornealarda GPx aktivitesi, normal kontrollere göre anlamlı derecede azaldı (P < 0,05). Sonuç: Alkalinin başlangıçtaki kimyasal hasarının yanı sıra, azalmış GPx aktivitesi, korneayı reaktif oksijen radikallerinin hasarına da maruz bırakmaktadır.
