摘要
砷是一种存在于环境中的类金属,会对不同器官(主要是肝脏)产生毒性作用。本研究旨在探讨天然黄酮醇表儿茶素(EC)对小鼠葡萄糖不耐受(GI)和亚砷酸钠(SA)引起的肝脏毒性的保护作用。我们的研究结果表明,接触亚砷酸钠会导致葡萄糖不耐受症。本研究还观察到肝脏组织损伤和胰腺朗格汉斯小体缩小。暴露于亚砷酸钠(SA)的小鼠表现出肝脏氧化损伤,表现为抗氧化标志物(如超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽)降低,以及硫代巴比妥酸活性物质水平升高。服用 SA 会提高肝脏酶丙氨酸氨基转移酶、天门冬氨酸转氨酶和碱性磷酸酶的血清活性。此外,还观察到肝脏中的炎症和凋亡标志物(Toll 样受体 4、核因子-kappa B、肿瘤坏死因子-α、一氧化氮、B 细胞淋巴瘤-2 和半胱氨酸天冬氨酸特异性蛋白酶-3)水平显著升高。用氨基甲酸乙酯治疗接触 SA 的小鼠可显著逆转这些生化和组织学变化。这项研究表明,氨基甲酸乙酯能够通过调节炎症和细胞凋亡来增强抗氧化系统,从而对改善SA诱导的高血糖和肝毒性产生有益影响。
Epicatechin ameliorates glucose intolerance and hepatotoxicity in sodium arsenite-treated mice
Arsenic is a metalloid found in the environment that causes toxic effects in different organs, mainly the liver. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of epicatechin (EC), a natural flavonol, on glucose intolerance (GI) and liver toxicity caused by sodium arsenite (SA) in mice. Our findings showed that SA exposure led to the development of GI. Liver tissue damage and decreased pancreatic Langerhans islet size were also observed in this study. Mice exposed to SA exhibited hepatic oxidative damage, indicated by reduced antioxidant markers (such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione), along with elevated levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. SA administration elevated the serum activities of liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, notable increases in the levels of inflammatory and apoptotic markers (Toll-like receptor 4, nuclear factor-kappa B, tumor necrosis factor-α, nitric oxide, B-cell lymphoma-2, and cysteine aspartate-specific protease-3) were observed in the liver. Treatment of SA-exposed mice with EC considerably reversed these biochemical and histological changes. This study demonstrated the beneficial effects of EC in ameliorating SA-induced hyperglycemia and hepatotoxicity due to its ability to enhance the antioxidant system by modulating inflammation and apoptosis.
期刊介绍:
Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.
The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:
-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances
-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology
-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena
-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.
Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
