Abstract

Paraquat toxicity occurs through the high production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which cause damage due to oxidative stress. Antioxidants can reduce damage through prevention of oxidative stress. Taurine has shown the ability to act as an antioxidant. The aim of this research is to find a effect of antioxidant taurine to decrease kidney damage caused by oxidative stress due to paraquat by looking at the histopathology changes. 25 male adult mices from strain DDY were used and divided into five treatment groups; C(-) (Aquadest IP), C(+) (Paraquat 30mg/kg), P1 (Paraquat 30mg/kg + Taurine 250mg/kg), P2 (Paraquat 30mg/kg + Taurine 500mg/kg) and P3 (Paraquat 30mg/kg + Taurine 1000mg/kg). All groups were given treatment intraperitoneal for twenty one days. The mices were sacrificed where kidney were collected for histopathology preparation. The parameters measured were renal histopathological changes in form of degeneration and necrosis. The results show that taurine administration had an effect on decreased degrees of damage to kidney tubular cells, with a decrease in the mean degree of renal tubular degeneration and necrosis. Degeneration of renal tubular cells in groups (P2) reduced compared to the group (C+) there were significant differences (P <0.05). Necrosis of renal tubular cells in groups (P1, P2) reduced compared to the group (C+) there were significant differences (P <0.05).  In conclusion, this research proves that administration of paraquat causes renal histopathological changes which are characterized by degeneration and necrosis. It also proves that taurine dose of 500 mg/kgBB could provided optimal effect.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to know whether beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) extract could protect spermatogenesis by maintaining spermatogenic and sertoli cell count  in rats (Rattus novergicus) induced with CCl4. Rats were given beetroot extract daily, for 14 days and 3ml/kg BW CCl4 intraperitoneally one hour after last treatment. This study used twenty rats which were devided equally into 5 groups. K(-), the negative control group was not induced with CCL4 and only given 1% CMC-Na suspension. K(+), the positive control group was induced with CCl­4 and given 1% CMC-Na suspension. P1, P2 and P3 were given beet root extract with doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg BW daily before feeding. All of the beetroot treatment were given orally (2 ml). After 24 hours CCl4 induction, rats were sacrificed and testis were collected to make histology slides. The observations showed significantly different (p<0,05) in all of variables. Result showed significant differences in spermatogenic and sertoli cells between K(-) and K(+) groups, K(+) with P2 and P3 group, and showed insignificant difference between P2 and P3 group in spermatogenic and sertoli cells. The result of this research showed that beetroot extract could protect the spermatogenic and sertoli cells in male rats induced with CCl4.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber extract on the histopathological features of the testicle of alloxan induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thirty male rats were randomly divided into six groups. Rats in group C- were injected with distilled water, while rats in groups C+, T0, T1, T2, and T3 were injected with 120 mg/kg bw alloxan. Blood glucose was measured three days after alloxan injection. Rats in groups C- and C+ were then administered with 1% Na-CMC, whereas rats in groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were then administered with 45mg/kg bw metformin, and 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw of porang tuber extract, respectively. All solution were given orally once every day for 14 days. Spermatogenic activity was assessed using the Johnsen scoring system and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis, followed by the Mann-Whitney test. The diameter and epithelial thickness of the seminiferous tubule were measured using image raster software and analyzed using Anova followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that spermatogenesis score, diameter, and epithelial thickness of seminiferous tubule of group C+ were smaller (p <0.05) than group C-. Spermatogenesis scores of groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were higher (p <0.05) than group C+. Seminiferous tubule diameter and epithelial thickness in groups T0, T1, and T2 were greater (p <0.05) than group C+. It could be concluded that porang tuber extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg bw improved the spermatogenesis score, diameter seminiferous tubule, and thickness of the epithelium of diabetic rats.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of oral administration of white guava fruit juice (Psidium guajava L.) on the spermatogenic cells of rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed orally to lead acetate. Twenty-five male rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain were randomly divided into five groups. Placebo group rats (P0) were given 0.5 mL distilled water twice every day orally at four-hour intervals. Groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were given lead acetate 50 mg/kg bw orally, then respectively given distilled water, 100, 50 and 25% (v/v) white guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit juice orally four hours later for 14 days. On day-15, the rats were sacrificed and their testicles were taken for histological preparations. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids cells of rats in T0 group was lower (p <0.05) than in P0 group. Higher spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids cells (p <0.05) were found in the T1 group compared to the T0 group. However, the number of spermatogonia and spermatocytes in the T1 group was still lower than in the P0 group. The number of spermatids in the T3 group was almost the same (p >0.05) as in the P0 group. This study found that white guava pure juice without dilution was the best for maintaining the number of spermatids, but was unable to restore the number of spermatogonia and spermatocyte cells in rats exposed to lead acetate.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of mulberry leaf extract on the viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility of spermatozoa from male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to e-cigarette smoke. A total of twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: negative control (NC), positive control (PC), T1, T2, and T3. All groups, except for the NC group, were exposed to e-cigarette smoke. Rats in the T1, T2, and T3 groups received mulberry leaf extract in doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw, respectively, while the NC and PC groups were given a placebo of 1% Na-CMC. Both the mulberry leaf extract and the placebo were administered daily, beginning three days prior to the start of e-cigarette smoke exposure, which lasted for 28 days. Results showed that spermatozoa motility, plasma membrane integrity, and viability in the experimental groups were significantly lower than those in the NC group (p <0.05). Conversely, rats in the T1, T2, and T3 groups that received mulberry leaf extract demonstrated significantly greater spermatozoa viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility compared to the PC group (p <0.05). The T3 group exhibited the most pronounced improvements, with significantly enhanced spermatozoa viability, membrane integrity, and motility (p <0.05) relative to the PC group. These results indicate that mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf extract enhanced spermatozoa viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) subjected to e-cigarette smoke.

Abstract

Bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) is one of the plants from Indonesia that has the potential to be used as a raw material for herbal medicine. Pharmacologically, bay leaves containing flavonoids have been shown to have antioxidant activity, which can reduce hyperuricemia and blood cholesterol levels. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of bay leaf extract in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels in the blood of mice induced by caffeine. The mice tested animals were divided into six groups, namely a positive control group of uric acid, a positive control of cholesterol, where a positive control of uric acid was given allopurinol and a positive control of cholesterol was given simvastatin, a negative control was given Na-CMC 1%, and a group that was given bay leaf extract in different dose levels, namely P1 was given 20 mg/kg BB, P2 was given 40 mg/kg BB, and P3 was given 80 mg/kg BB. The parameters used were the decrease in blood uric acid and cholesterol levels caused after the treatment was measured using a POCT strip test for uric acid and cholesterol. The data obtained were statistically processed using the One-Way Anova test. The results of the Anova test showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the data on uric acid and cholesterol levels. Then continued with the results of Duncan's test to see the most effective dose level for bay leaf extract in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels. In Duncan's test results, it was found that the P3 group of mice with a dose of 80 mg/kg BB was the most effective dose level in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels in the blood of mice induced by caffeine.

Abstract

Pancreatic cell damage in diabetes mellitus is closely linked to inflammation and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of phloroglucinol on pancreatic cells in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic model by assessing its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. Phloroglucinol ligand and the structures of Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 proteins were sourced from the PubChem database. Molecular docking was performed using Autodock Tools and docking results were analyzed with PyRx software. In addition, during the in vivo study, the BALB/c mice were grouped into four categories: healthy control, untreated streptozotocin-induced diabetic, and streptozotocin-induced diabetic treated with two doses of oral phloroglucinol at 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg body weight. After 28 days, pancreatic tissues were collected for flow cytometric analysis of NF-κB, IL-6, TNF-α, and apoptotic markers (Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3). The docking simulations revealed specific binding interactions: phloroglucinol interacted with Bcl-2 via amino acid residues of ALA90 and TYR139, with Bax via ALA42, LEU45, ALA46, LEU47, PRO130, and ILE133, and with caspase-3 through ARG64, SER120, GLN161, CYS163, and ARG207. The binding affinities for Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 were -5.0, -4.7, and -4.9 kcal/mol, respectively. In vivo, results showed that streptozotocin significantly elevated inflammatory cytokines NF-κB, TNF-α, and IL-6, along with apoptotic markers in pancreatic cells (p<0.05) compared to healthy controls. Phloroglucinol administration at 200 mg/kg significantly reduced TNF-α, NF-κB and IL-6 levels. Phloroglucinol also prevented streptozotocin-induced pancreatic cell damage through anti-apoptotic effects by downregulating Bax and caspase-3 and upregulating Bcl-2. These findings suggest that phloroglucinol may offer protective benefits in diabetic conditions by modulating apoptotic and inflammatory pathways.

Abstract

Background Exposure to carbon black can induce respiratory toxicity, leading to tissue remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. Curcumin, a compound from Curcuma longa, has been shown to exert protective effects on lung tissue by inhibiting cell proliferation and reducing alveolar epithelial thickening and inflammatory responses. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nanocurcumin administration on alveolar septal thickness and fibrosis in the lungs of rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to carbon black. Methods Thirty female rats were divided into five groups: the negative control group (K-) received distilled water without carbon black exposure; the positive control group (K+) received distilled water and was exposed to carbon black at a dose of 1064 mg/m³ for 6 hours; and treatment groups P1, P2, and P3 received nanocurcumin at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight, respectively, along with carbon black exposure at a dose of 1064 mg/m³ for 6 hours/day over 30 days. Results Alveolar septal thickness and fibrosis in the P1, P2, and P3 groups showed significant reductions (P<0.05) compared to the K+ group. Notably, groups P2 and P3 exhibited similar alveolar septal thickness to the K- group, with statistically lower (P<0.05) fibrosis levels than P1 but not significantly different from K- (P>0.05). Conclusion Nanocurcumin administration demonstrates potential in mitigating alveolar septal thickening and fibrosis in rat lungs subjected to carbon black exposure, suggesting a protective role against pulmonary damage from particulate matter.
