Abstract
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an environmental pollutant that causes hepatic injury. The antioxidant activity of vildagliptin is confirmed. The present study investigated the protective effect of Vildagliptin against BPA-induced hepatotoxicity. Twenty four rats were divided randomly into 4 groups (6 rats/group): A control group, BPA group, BPA + Vildagliptin group and Vildagliptin group. All rats, except the controls were orally administered 30 mg/kg body weight BPA and/or 10 mg/kg Vildagliptin. AST, ALT, Triglycerides and albumin were measured in the serum. MDA, GPX, XBP1, Caspase 3 and BCL2 were measured in liver tissues. BPA group showed a significant decrease of albumin and GPX and a significant increase of triglycerides, AST, ALT and MDA. BPA caused up regulation of caspase3 and XBP1 while caused down regulation of BCL2. The co-administration of Vildagliptin reversed these hazards. The results of this study established the protective effect of Vildagliptin against BPA induced liver dysfunction.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry: The Journal of Metabolic Diseases is an international peer-reviewed journal which has been relaunched to meet the increasing demand for integrated publication on molecular, biochemical and cellular aspects of metabolic diseases, as well as clinical and therapeutic strategies for their treatment. It publishes full-length original articles, rapid papers, reviews and mini-reviews on selected topics. It is the overall goal of the journal to disseminate novel approaches to an improved understanding of major metabolic disorders.
The scope encompasses all topics related to the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and their associated complications.
Clinical studies are considered as an integral part of the Journal and should be related to one of the following topics:
-Dysregulation of hormone receptors and signal transduction
-Contribution of gene variants and gene regulatory processes
-Impairment of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level
-Secretion and metabolism of peptides and other factors that mediate cellular crosstalk
-Therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic diseases
Special issues dedicated to topics in the field will be published regularly.
