Öğe Amelioration of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy by melatonin, quercetin, and resveratrol in rats(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015) Elbe, H.; Vardi, N.; Esrefoglu, M.; Ates, B.; Yologlu, S.; Taskapan, C.The role of oxygen radicals are known for the pathogenesis of kidney damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of melatonin, quercetin, and resveratrol on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats. A total of 35 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups as follows: control, diabetes mellitus (DM), DM + melatonin, DM + quercetin, and DM + resveratrol. All the injections started on the same day of single-dose STZ injection and continued for 30 days. At the end of this period, kidneys were removed and processed for routine histological procedures. Biochemical parameters and morphological changes were examined. In DM group, blood glucose levels were significantly increased, whereas body weights were decreased compared with the control group. Significant increases in blood urea nitrogen and tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and decreases in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were detected in DM group. Administration of melatonin, quercetin, and resveratrol significantly reduced these values. Melatonin was more efficient in reducing MDA levels than other antioxidants (p < 0.05). STZ-induced histopathological alterations including epithelial desquamation, swelling, intracytoplasmic vacuolization, brush border loss and peritubular infiltration. Additionally, basement membrane thickening and sclerotic changes were observed in glomerulus. Transforming growth factor-1 positive cells were also increased. Melatonin, quercetin, and resveratrol significantly reduced these histopathological changes. Our results indicate that melatonin, quercetin, and resveratrol might be helpful in reducing diabetes-induced renal damageÖğe Ascorbic acid and beta-carotene reduce stress-induced oxidative organ damage in rats(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016) Esrefoglu, M.; Akinci, A.; Taslidere, E.; Elbe, H.; Cetin, A.; Ates, B.Antioxidants are potential therapeutic agents for reducing stress-induced organ damage. We investigated the effects of ascorbic acid and -carotene on oxidative stress-induced cerebral, cerebellar, cardiac and hepatic damage using microscopy and biochemistry. Male Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups: untreated control, stressed, stressed + saline, stressed + ascorbic acid and stressed + -carotene. The rats in the stressed groups were subjected to starvation, immobilization and cold. The histopathological damage scores for the stressed and stressed + saline groups were higher than those of the control group for all organs examined. The histopathological damage scores and mean tissue malondialdehyde levels for the groups treated with antioxidants were lower than those for the stressed and stressed + saline groups. Mean tissue superoxide dismutase activities for groups that received antioxidants were higher than those for the stressed + saline group for most organs evaluated. Ascorbic acid and -carotene can reduce stress-induced organ damage by both inhibiting lipid oxidation and supporting the cellular antioxidant defense system.Öğe Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil from Cupressus sempervirens L. horizontalis Resin in Conjunction with its Biological Assessment(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Ulukanli, Z. p; Karaborklu, S.; Ates, B.; Erdogan, S.; Cenet, M.; Karaaslan, M. G.Essential oil from the crude oleoresin of C. sempervirens L. was hydro-distillated and analysed by GC and GC-MS. The significant fraction of the essential oil constituted both monoterpene hydrocarbons (46.03 %) and oxygenated monoterpenes (17.27 %). The major components were mainly alpha-pinene (35.60 %), followed by trans-pinocarveol (5.22 %), alpha-phellandrene-8-ol (4.56 %), beta-pinene (3.06 %), D-limonene (2.83 %), borneol (2.34 %) and camphene (2.15 %). Antibacterial assays indicated the moderate level effectiveness on all tested gram positive and negative bacteria. The most sensitive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 95923) followed by Micrococcus luteus (NRLL B-4375). Insecticidal activity of the essential oil exposure (48 h) on Ephestia kuehniella eggs showed 20.83 % mortality at 100 mu L L-1 air concentration. In the antioxidant assays, essential oil revealed a moderate level of the radical scavenging effect against DPPH and total phenolic content. Reducing power of the essential oil appeared to higher when compared to DPPH scavenging activity. Total phenolic content of the essential oil seemed to be well correlated with the assays of the DPPH and reducing power.Öğe Combined usage of estrogen and melatonin restores bladder contractility and reduces kidney and bladder damage in ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats(Comenius Univ, 2014) Tasdemir, S.; Tasdemir, C.; Vardi, N.; Parlakpinar, H.; Aglamis, E.; Ates, B.; Sagir, M.Objective: The incidence of urinary bladder disturbances and renal structural changes and functional decline are found to increase with age. Methods: We investigated the effect of melatonin treatment in addition to estrogen replacement therapy in pine-alectomized (Px) and ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. 56 female Wistar rats were divided into seven groups, each containing eight animals: Sham, (Ovx), (Px), Px+Ovx, Px+Ovx receiving estrogen (Px+Ovx+E), Px+Ovx receiving melatonin (Px+Ovx+M) and Px+Ovx estrogen and melatonin supplemented (Px+Ovx+EM) group (EM group). We evaluated reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The mean collagen fiber (CF)/smooth muscle (SM) ratio in the bladder wall and structure of the kidney were examined histolologically. We aleso recorded response of the bladder contractility to acetylcholine (Ach). Results: Px and Ovx groups showed statistically significant reductions of antioxidant defenses, impaired Ach-evoked contraction, histological changes compared with the control group. Also, these changes were prominent in Px+Ovx group compared with all other groups. Both estrogen and melatonin reversed these changes however best restoration was observed in the EM group. Conclusions: Px performed in addition to Ovx led to a distinct increase in oxidative damage in bladder and renal tissue and deteriorate of the detrussor function. Either estradiol or melatonin replacement alone or in combination prevents significant alterations of tissue histology and bladder contractility following Ovx and Px. Thus, combination treatment appears to be the best method to restore both contractility and histomorphology of bladder and kidney tissues after Ovx and Px (Tab. 3, Fig. 4, Ref. 44).

Rats were divided into five groups as follows: control group, d-GAL (24 h) group, d-GAL group, d-GAL + PTX group, and d-GAL + CAPE group. In histological evaluations, the control group showed normal appearance of the liver cells. However in the d-GAL groups, focal areas consisting of inflammatory, necrotic, and apoptotic cells were detected in parenchyma. Glycogen loss was observed in the hepatocytes localized at the periphery of lobule. It was found that number of mast cells of portal areas were significantly higher in d-GAL groups compared with other groups (p = 0.0001). In addition, the number of cells with positive staining by Ki-67 and caspase-3 were significantly increased in GAL groups compared with the control group (p = 0.0001). In biochemical analysis, there was an increase in malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels, while a decrease was observed in glutathione level and glutathione peroxidase activity in groups treated with d-GAL compared with the control group. On the other hand, it was seen that, in the groups treated with d-GAL, histological and biochemical injuries in the liver were reduced by administration of PTX and CAPE. In this study, we demonstrated the ameliorative effects of PTX and CAPE on d-GAL-induced liver injury.Öğe Evaluation of the effects of ozone therapy on Escherichia coli-induced cytitis in rat(Springer London Ltd, 2013) Tasdemir, C.; Tasdemir, S.; Vardi, N.; Ates, B.; Onal, Y.; Erdogan, S.; Yucel, A.The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of ozone on oxidative/nitrosative stress and bladder injury caused by Escherichia coli in rat bladder. Twenty-one Wistar-Albino-type female rats included in the study were divided into three groups of equal number: (1) sham operation (control), (2) E. coli-only (EC), (3) EC + ozone. After ozone therapy for 3 days, urine and tissue samples were obtained for biochemical, microbiological, and histopathological analysis. Tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and nitric oxide (NO) level were increased, whereas superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was decreased in the EC group. MDA, MPO, and NO levels were decreased, whereas SOD, GPx activity was increased in the ozone-treated group. Also, there was no bacterial translocation in this group. The results of the present study suggest that ozone may be used as an agent to protect the bladder from oxidative/nitrosative stress occurring in cystitis.Öğe Modulation of DMBA-induced biochemical changes by organoselenium compounds in. blood of rats(Natl Inst Science Communication-Niscair, 2007) Ozdemir, I.; Selamoglu, Z.; Ates, B.; Gok, Y.; Yilmaz, I.The protective role of two synthetic organoselenium compounds 1-isopropyl-3-methylbenzimidazole-2-selenone (SeI) and 1, 3-di-p-methoxybenzylpyrimidine-2-selenone (Sell) was examined against the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced changes in biochemical parameters in blood of rats. Albino Winstar rats (150-200 g body wt) were treated with single dose of DMBA (50 mg/kg body wt) and organoselenium compounds (25 mu mol/kg) for 4 weeks at two days internal. Blood was taken from the anaesthetized rats ventricle from their hearts for biochemical analysis. Administration of DMBA resulted in elevation of urea, uric acid and creatinine levels as well as AST, ALT and LDH activities and decrease in levels of total proteins, albumin and globulin. Set and Sell caused I significant (p<0.05) decrease ill Urea, uric acid and creatinine levels and alanine aminotransferase (ALT); aspartate aminotransferase; (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and significantly increased the levels of total protein and albumin (p<0.05). These organoselenium compounds are likely to be beneficial in human health.Öğe Production of L-asparaginase, a chemotherapeutic enzyme, in bacteria expressing Vitreoscilla haemoglobin(Blackwell Publishing, 2006) Ates, B.; Gencer, S.; Erenler, S. O.; Uckun, M.; Ozer, U.; Yilmaz, I.; Geckil, H.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The protective effect of melatonin in lungs of newborn rats exposed to maternal nicotine(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yildiz, A.; Vardi, N.; Karaaslan, M. G.; Ates, B.; Taslidere, E.; Esrefoglu, M.We investigated possible healing effects of melatonin (MEL) on biochemical and histological changes in the lungs of rat offspring caused by exposure to nicotine (NT) in utero. Pregnant rats were divided randomly into five groups. The SP group was treated with physiological saline. The EA group was treated with ethyl alcohol. The MEL group was treated with MEL. The NT group was treated with NT. The NT + MEL group was treated with NT and MEL. At the end of the study, the biochemistry and histopathology of lung tissue of the offspring were examined. Reduced alveolar development and increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and mast cells were observed in the NT group compared to the SP, EA and MEL groups. We also found increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and decreased total glutathione (GSH) levels in the NT group. Application of MEL ameliorated the histological and biochemical damage caused by NT. The number of alveoli was greater in the NT + MEL group than in the NT group. Also, the increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and mast cells resulting from exposure to NT were decreased following MEL treatment. We found that MEL caused a significant decrease in the level of MDA. Maternal exposure to NT caused significant structural and biochemical changes in the lungs of the offspring and administration of MEL ameliorated the changes.Öğe Therapeutic effects of melatonin and quercetin in improvement of hepatic steatosis in rats through supression of oxidative damage(Comenius Univ, 2017) Esrefoglu, M.; Cetin, A.; Taslidere, E.; Elbe, H.; Ates, B.; Tok, O. E.; Aydin, M. S.BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, a cause of cirrhosis, is characterized by fatty infiltration of the liver, inflammation, hepatocellular damage and fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of melatonin and quercetin on CCl4-induced steatosis characterized by fatty infiltration of the liver, inflammation, hepatocellular damage and fibrosis. METHODS: Rats were divided into 5 groups: Ethanol, Olive oil, CCl4, CCl4+Melatonin (CCl4+Mel), CCl4+Quercetin. Rats were sacrificed and livers were removed for being evaluated by histopathological, immunohistochemical and biochemical methods. RESULTS: In CCl4 group, vacuolization, vascular congestion, haemorrhage, necrosis, and inflammatory infiltration were identified. The mean tissue MDA level was increased, whereas GSH level and SOD and CAT activities were decreased in comparison with ethanol and olive oil groups. MDA levels were decreased in CCl4+Quercetin and CCl4+Mel groups versus CCl4 group. CAT activity of CCl4+Mel group was higher than that of CCl4 and CCl4+Quercetin groups. The mean tissue GSH level of CCl4+Mel group versus CCl4 group was significantly increased. CONCLUSIONS: By the means of histopathological examination, we suggest that both agents are beneficial against necrotic and apoptotic cell death during steatosis. Thus, melatonin and quercetin might be beneficial in the improvement of hepatic steatosis by supporting conventional therapy in humans (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref. 53). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.
