Hepatoprotection conferred by curcumin against emamectin benzoate-induced oxidative stress, biochemical, molecular, and histological disturbances in rats
Excessive use of pesticides frequently contaminates the environment and poses health risks. This study aimed to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effect of curcumin against the toxic effects of emamectin benzoate in rats. Six groups of male Wistar rats were used: control, curcumin (Cur; 200 mg/kg), Emamectin benzoate – low dose (EMB-LD; 5 mg/kg BW), Emamectin benzoate – high dose (EMB-HD; 10 mg/kg BW), Cur plus EMB-LD, and Cur plus EMB-HD, respectively. Rats received their doses orally for 28 days. Results revealed that curcumin possesses high antioxidant activity, as demonstrated by its DPPH, ABTS + scavenging activity, and FRAP chelating capacity. The administration of EMB-LD or EMB-HD elevated lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation and significantly decreased enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Liver enzyme activities and lipid and protein contents in rat serum were markedly altered after EMB treatment. Additionally, pro-inflammatory and apoptosis-related genes, and tissue structure were significantly altered in rats that received EMB. However, rats receiving Cur only enhanced the antioxidant status and reduced oxidation biomarkers. Further, rats that received curcumin and then were intoxicated with EMB exhibited significant modulation in most measured parameters compared with their respective treated groups. Conclusively, rats treated with both low and high doses of EMB showed pronounced hazardous effects in a dose-dependent manner; however, Cur proved its powerful role against EMB hepatotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee.
Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish:
-articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms
-papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins
-molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins
-clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained.
-material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems.
-articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides
-epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged.
-articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon.
-review articles on problems related to toxinology.
To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
