Chronic inflammation in colon can develop into colon cancer. Lunasin has been known to inhibit inflammatory reactions induced by lipopolysaccharide <i>in vitro</i>. The effect of lunasin to inhibit inflammation <i>in vivo</i> is not widely known. In this study, we analyzed the effect of lunasin from soybean to decrease the risk of inflammation by analyzing histopathologic feature and the expression of COX-2. 30 mice are divided into 6 groups. Normal group was not induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). The other groups were induced by 2% DSS through drinking water for 9 days. After 9 days, negative control group did not receive any treatment. The other groups received treatment given lunasin dose 20 mg/kg body weight (BW) and 40 mg/kg BW, commercial lunasin and positive control given aspirin. Treatment was performed for 5 weeks. Inflammatory colon histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical score of COX-2 proteins were analyzed using statistical tests. Lunasin dose 20 mg/kg BW and 40 mg/kg BW were able to significantly reduce inflammation (P<0.05) performed by histopathologic feature with an average score of 2.52 and 2.16 COX-2 expression decreased significantly (P<0.05) with an average score of 43.674 and 33.349. Lunasin dose 20 mg/kg BW and 40 mg/kg BW were able to inhibit inflammation and decrease the expression of COX-2 in colon induced by DSS.</p>","PeriodicalId":94056,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology","volume":"10 6","pages":"154-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6334218/pdf/ijppp0010-0154.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41167952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the modulatory potential of <i>Parkia biglobosa</i> protein isolate (PBPi) on serum testosterone (sTT) level as well as its influence on biomarkers of oxidative stress in brain and testes of streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats. Animals were made diabetic by single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (STZ; 60 mg/kg body weight). PBPi (200 or 400 mg/kg body weight) was given orally by gavage or insulin (5 U/kg, i.p.) was administered daily to STZ-induced diabetic rats for 28 days. The results revealed a significant elevation in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in the brain and testes of diabetic rats. This was closely associated with a concomitant reduction in levels of sTT and reduced testes weight, a noticeable decline in the glutathione-S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) as well as total glutathione (Total GSH) level in the brain and testes of diabetic rats. Interestingly, treatment with PBPi efficiently prevented the alterations witnessed in the serum sTT and also ameliorated various alterations in the biomarkers of oxidative stress (TBARS, Total GSH, GST, SOD and CAT) in brain and testes of diabetic rats. These results provide evidence that PBPi could protect the brain and testicular tissues against oxidative stress induced by STZ, via modulation of serum testosterone concentration and also by enhancing antioxidant defence system in STZ-diabetic rats.</p>","PeriodicalId":94056,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology","volume":"8 3","pages":"78-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5078479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140290062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
