Abstract

Objective: Capsella bursa-pastoris is a plant species known to have been used by people for years for the treatment of gynecological diseases and symptoms. The aim of this study is investigating the effects of Capsella bursa-pastoris plant extracts on sex hormones by examining the hormonal changes that occur in rats at the plasma level as a result of oral gavage and enteral administration of Capsella bursa-pastoris plant extract to female rats. Methods: Aqueous and hydroalcoholic extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris plant was given to three different groups for 1 week by oral gavage. In practice, 1.07 g/100g, 2.68 g/100g, 5.35 g/100g doses were the aqueous extract administered rat group and 1.05 g/100g, 2.63 g/100g, 5.25 g/100g doses were to the hydroalcoholic extract administered rat group. Afterwards, blood samples taken from rats were analyzed by biochemical immuno chemiluminescence method to understand the effect of Capsella bursa-pastoris extract on sex hormones. Results: IWhen blood analyzes were evaluated, in rats treated with both Capsella bursa-pastoris extracts; There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of both Estrogen (p=0.400) and Progesterone (p=0.184) measurement results in blood plasma levels. Conclusion: IAs a result, the data we obtained from our study showed that the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extract of the plant didn’t have a significant effect on estrogen and progesterone hormones at the doses we used. These results suggest that the alleged therapeutic effects of the plant aren’t related to its effects on estrogen and progesterone hormone levels but may be due to other effects attributed to the plant.

Özet

Amaç: Capsella bursa-pastoris, jinekolojik hastalıkların ve semptomlarının tedavisi için yıllardır insanlar tarafından kullanıldığı bilinen bir bitki türüdür. Bu çalışmanın amacı dişi sıçanlara Capsella bursa-pastoris bitki ekstraktının oral gavaj ile enteral yolla verilmesi sonucu sıçanlarda meydana gelen hormonal değişiklikleri plazma düzeyinde inceleyerek bu bitkinin cinsiyet hormonları üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Capsella bursa-pastoris bitkisinin sulu ve hidroalkolik ekstraktı oral gavajla 1 haftalık süre boyunca üç ayrı gruba verilmiştir. Uygulamada, Capsella bursa-pastoris’in sulu ekstraktını alan sıçan grubuna 1.07 g/100g, 2.68 g/100g, 5.35 g/100g; hidroalkolik ekstraktını alan sıçan grubuna 1.05 g/100g, 2.63 g/100g, 5.25 g/100g dozlar uygulanmıştır. Sonrasında Capsella bursa-pastoris ekstraktının cinsiyet hormonları üzerinde etkisini anlamak için sıçanlardan alınan kan örnekleri biyokimyasal immünokemilüminesans yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Kan analizleri değerlendirildiğinde, Capsella bursa-pastoris’in her iki ekstraktının uygulandığı sıçanlarda; östrojen ölçümü sonuçları bakımından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır (p=0.400). Progesteron ölçümü sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde ise benzer şekilde Capsella bursa-pastoris’in plazma progesteron düzeylerine etkisi bakımından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır (p=0.184). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz veriler bize bitkinin sulu ve hidroalkolik ekstraktının kullandığımız dozlarda özellikle östrojen ve progesteron hormonlarının üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlar, bitkinin ileri sürülen tedavi edici etkilerinin, östrojen ve progesteron hormon düzeyleri üzerine etkileri ile ilgili olmayıp bitkiye atfedilen diğer etkileri üzerinden olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
