Abstract
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a potent environmental toxicant which affects crucial organs of the body including the heart. Pinobanksin (PBN) exhibits marvelous medicinal values owing to its excellent therapeutic properties. This investigation was executed to assess the curative potential of PBN against PFOS instigated cardiac dysfunction in rats. Twenty-four albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) were apportioned into 4 groups including the control, PFOS (10 mgkg-1), PFOS (10 mgkg-1) + PBN (20 mgkg-1) and PBN (20 mgkg-1) alone provided group. Our findings showed that PFOS intoxication reduced the activities of glutathione reductase (GSR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxides (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and catalase (CAT) while reducing the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, PFOS intoxication increased the concentrations of creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), creatine phospho-kinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and troponin I. Furthermore, cardiac inflammation was provoked after PFOS provision that was evident by augmented levels of pro-inflammatory markers. The administration of PFOS upregulated the expressions of Bcl-2–associated X protein (Bax) and cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3 (caspase-3), while reducing the expressions of B-cell lymphoma protein 2 (Bcl-2). Nonetheless, the histopathological analysis showed significant cardiac damage after PFOS intoxication. However, PBN treatment alleviated cardiac impairments because of its tremendous oxidation curtailing properties.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
