Abstract
Alcohol use disorder is a significant public health problem that is widespread worldwide and causes serious health issues. During ethanol metabolism, acetaldehyde accumulation and free radical formation increase, causing various tissue damage through oxidative stress. The Cotinus coggygria Scop., known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has been used for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine for many years. Due to this property, this study aims to investigate the protective effect of Cotinus coggygria Scop. aqueous extract on glycoprotein levels in ethanol-induced kidney and small intestine damage in rats. In the study, 6-8-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups: a control group, a group given 50 mg/kg Cotinus coggygria Scop. aqueous extract, an experimental group given 1 mL absolute ethanol, and a group given 1 mL absolute ethanol 1 h after administration of 50 mg/kg Cotinus coggygria Scop. aqueous extract. The applications were performed via gavage, and tissues were collected under anesthesia 1 h after ethanol administration. Sialic acid, hexose, and hexosamine levels in the collected tissue samples were determined using biochemical methods. The findings revealed that ethanol administration significantly increased sialic acid, hexose, and hexosamine levels in the kidney and small intestine tissues of rats. In contrast, these increases were suppressed in groups administered Cotinus coggygria Scop. aqueous extract, and ethanol-induced tissue damage was significantly reduced. According to the results obtained, it is thought that Cotinus coggygria Scop. aqueous extract may have a protective effect against ethanol-induced kidney and small intestine damage.
