Abstract
Aims
Increased oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus may lead to splenic damage, contributing to decreased immunity. This study aims to evaluate the potential of vitamin E supplements as a protective agent against spleen injury by examining physiological, hematological, biochemical, and histological changes in diabetic rat model.
Methods
Diabetes was induced in male wistar albino rats through an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg Streptozotocin, and the rats were randomly divided into five groups. The rats were then administered varying doses of vitamin E for 14 consecutive days. Assessments included renal function tests, blood glucose levels, complete blood counts, lipid profiles, tissue oxidative stress and spleen histology. An acute toxicity study was also conducted on normal rats.
Results
Vitamin E supplementation did not result in any mortality up to 5000 mg/kg body weight. The treated diabetic group showed improved metabolic characteristics, such as normal body weight, food and water intake and a reduced spleen index compared to the untreated diabetic group. Significant improvements were observed in hematological parameters like packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin concentration, RBC (red blood cells) and WBC (white blood cells) counts. HCA (Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) of these parameters indicated that doses of 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg were most similar to normal condition. Catalase and MDA (Malondialdehyde) assays showed a substantial reduction in oxidative stress in spleen tissue and histopathological examination revealed significant regenerative effects.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that vitamin E supplementation significantly enhanced various metabolic, hematological, biochemical, and histological parameters in the diabetic group compared to those who did not receive the treatment. Among the doses tested, 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg body weight were found to yield the most favorable outcomes.
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.
