Abstract

Objectives: The current study was designed to describe roles of oxidative stress via the measurementof malondialdehyde and total antioxidant markers, and apoptosis through the measurement of caspase 3marker, as mechanisms of liver toxicity induced by irinotecan; and to explore the possible protective effectsof high- and low- doses of lutein against irinotecan induced toxicity in the liver of rats.Methods: Thirty six (36) Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: Groups ?, ratsreceived single oral daily dose of dimethyl sulfoxide (4 ml/kg); Group ?? (irinotecan-treated), receivedsingle oral daily dose of dimethyl sulfoxide (4ml/kg) for 25 days by oral gavage and subsequently receivedirinotecan (50mg/kg) on days: 5, 10, 15 (total dose=150 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection; Groups ???and ?V, received oral dose of lutein (6mg/kg/day) and (24mg/kg/day), respectively by oral gavage for 25successive days (lutein-treated); Groups V and V? (lutein+ irinotecan), received oral dose of lutein (6mg/kg/day) and (24mg /kg/day), respectively by oral gavage for 25 successive days, and subsequently receivedirinotecan (50mg /kg body weight) on days: 5, 10, 15 (total dose=150 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection.Results: Orally-administered lutein with total cumulative dose of irinotecan (Groups V and VI), resultedin significant reduction (P<0.05) of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, andsignificant reduction (P<0.05) of malondialdehyde; but, significant elevation (P<0.05) of serum totalantioxidant capacity; and there was significant reduction in caspase 3in liver tissues homogenates comparedto the corresponding levels in the group of rats administered irinotecan (Group II).Conclusion: Results of the current finding suggested that administration of lutein may be a useful compoundthat alleviated irinotecan induced toxicity to the liver

Abstract

The salivary samples were collected adequately from 80 subjects distributed equally (40 asthmatic subjectsand 40 control subjects) of ages range between 20-60 years. This comparative survey was determining thecaries index(DMFT),Streptococcus mutans , Streptococcus sobrinus ,salivary IgA and IgE. So this studyhave shown highly significant difference P ? (0.01) found in effect of age on salivary IgA in control adultsubjects and non-significant difference (P > 0.05) displayed in influence of age on salivary IgA. So thiscomparative investigation have demonstrated that non-significant difference (P > 0.05) found in influenceof age on salivary IgE to both groups of study. However, the correlation between age and salivary IgE is aweak negative relationship.
