Abstract

Background: Paracetamol is one of the widely used anti­pyretic and analgesic drug around the world. Many researchers showed that paracetamol caused to hepato­toxicity or nephrotoxicity.Objective: In the present study, we aimed to determine whether betaine has protective effects on hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in neonate rats, following to long term maternal paracetamol exposure.Materials and methods: Randomly chosen neonates, from the neonate pools, were divided into three groups; Control (n = 13), APAP (n = 13), and APAP + Betaine (n = 13). Physiological saline, paracetamol (30 mg/kg/day), and paracetamol (30 mg/kg/day) + betaine (800 mg/kg/day) were orally administered to the relevant groups during the pregnancy period (approximately 21 day). Following to the birth, neonates were decapitated under anaesthesia and tissue samples were taken for biochemical and histologi­cal analyses.Results: The statistical analysis showed that, malon­dialdehyde and nitric oxide levels increase significantly in APAP group, while paraoxonase, arylesterase activity and glutathione levels decrease. After the betaine admin­istration, glutathione levels, paraoxonase and arylester­ase activities increased while malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels decreased in APAP + betaine group. These biochemical findings also were supported by histological results.Conclusion: In this study, our biochemical and histologi­cal findings indicate that betaine can protect the tissue injury caused by paracetamol.

Özet

Amaç: Parasetamol, dünyada yaygın olarak kullanılanantipiretik ve analjezik ilaçlardan biridir. Birçok araştır­ macı parasetamolün hepatotoksisiteye veya nefrotoksi­ siteye neden olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada, uzunsüreli maternal parasetamol maruziyetini takiben, beta­ inin yenidoğan sıçanlarda hepatotoksisite ve nefrotoksi­ site üzerinde koruyucu etkileri olup olmadığını belirle­ meyi amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Yenidoğan havuzlarından rastgeleseçilen yenidoğanlar üç gruba ayrıldı; Kontrol (n = 13),APAP (n = 13) ve APAP + Betain (n = 13). Fizyolojik salin,parasetamol (30 mg/kg/gün) ve parasetamol (30 mg/ kg/gün) + betain (800 mg/kg/gün) hamilelik döneminde(yaklaşık 21 gün) ilgili gruplara oral yoldan uygulandı.Doğumdan sonra yenidoğanlar anestezi altında kesildive biyokimyasal ve histolojik analizler için doku örneklerialındı. Bulgular: İstatistiksel analiz APAP grubunda malondi­ aldehit ve nitrik oksit seviyelerinin önemli ölçüde art­ tığını, paraoksonaz, arilesteraz aktivitesi ve glutatyon seviyelerinin azaldığını göstermiştir. Betain uygulamasın­ dan sonra APAP + betain grubunda glutatyon seviyeleri,paraoksonaz ve arilesteraz aktiviteleri artarken, malondi­ aldehit ve nitrik oksit seviyeleri azaldı. Bu biyokimyasalbulgular histolojik sonuçlarla da desteklenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada biyokimyasal ve histolojik bulguları­ mız betainin parasetamolün neden olduğu doku hasarınıkoruyabildiğini göstermektedir.
