Abstract

O estudo foi conduzido para avaliar a atividade antioxidante e avaliar os efeitos protetores das sementes de tâmara em pó kentichi contra danos induzidos por aloxana no fígado, rim e pâncreas em ratos diabéticos. Grupo 1 (Controle): grupo controle, que não recebeu nenhum tratamento, Grupo 2 (Diab): aloxana foi injetada por via intraperitoneal (120 mg/kg de peso corporal) por dois dias, Grupo 3 (DSPK): tratado apenas com pó de sementes de tâmara adicionado na dieta (300 g por kg) por 6 semanas, Grupo 4 (DSPK+Diab): ratos aloxano-diabéticos tratados com pó de sementes de tâmaras (300 g/kg). As estimativas de parâmetros bioquímicos no sangue foram determinadas. As atividades de TBARS, SOD, CAT e GPx foram determinadas. O estudo histopatológico foi feito por meio da imersão de pedaços de ambos os órgãos em solução fixadora seguida de coloração com parafina hematoxilina-eosina. Além disso, as atividades antioxidantes de DSPK foram avaliadas pela atividade de sequestro do radical DPPH, poder redutor e sequestro do radical ABTS. Os resultados revelaram que as sementes de tâmara diminuíram significativamente os níveis séricos de glicose, colesterol, triglicerídeos, ureia, creatinina, proteína T, ALP, D-bili e T-bili. Além disso, as atividades de superóxido dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) e glutationa peroxidase (GPx) que haviam sido reduzidas no fígado, rim e pâncreas do grupo tratado foram restauradas pelos tratamentos com DSPK e, portanto, o nível de peroxidação lipídica foi reduzido no tecido hepático, renal e pancreático em comparação com o grupo controle. Além disso, a estrutura histológica nesses órgãos foi restaurada após tratamento com pó de sementes de tâmara.

The study was conducted to examine the antioxidant activity and evaluate the protective effects of the date seeds powder kentichi against alloxan-induced damage in the liver, kidney, and pancreas in diabetic's rats. Group 1 : control group, that did not receive any treatment, Group 2 : alloxan was injected intraperitoneally (120 mg/kg body weight) for two days (Diab), Group 3: treated only by date seeds powder added in the diet (300 g/kg) for 6 weeks (DSPK), Group 4: alloxan-diabetic rats treated with date seeds powder (300 g/kg) (DSPK + Diab). Estimations of biochemical parameters in blood were determined. TEARS, SOD, CAT, and GPx activities were determined. A histopathological study was done by immersing pieces of both organs in a fixative solution followed by paraffin hematoxylin-eosin staining. In addition, the antioxidant activities of DSPK were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and ABTS free radical scavenging. The results revealed that date seeds significantly decreased serum levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, creatinine, T-protein, ALP, D-bili and T-bili levels. In addition, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities that had been reduced in liver, kidney, and pancreas of the treated group were restored by DSPK treatments and, therefore, the lipid peroxidation level was reduced in the liver, kidney and pancreas tissue compared to the control group. Additionally, the histological structure in these organs was restored after treatment with date seeds powder.
