    Protective Effect Of Chard Extract On Glycoprotein Compounds And Advanced Oxidation Protein Product Levels İn Diabetic Rat Livers;
    (Istanbul University Press, 2021) Ertik, O.; Sacan, O.; Kabasakal, L.; Sener, G.; Yanardag, R.
    Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease of global importance. It affects many people by reducing their quality of life and even causing death. Therefore, research on diabetes mellitus maintains its popularity and continues to develop. Chard (Beta vulgaris L. var. cicla) is commonly used in diets and is known to have alternative hypoglycemic effects in diabetic individuals. This study investigated the protective effects of chard on glycoproteins (hexose, hexosamine, fucose and sialic acid) and the advanced oxidation protein product levels in diabetic rats’ livers. Materials and Methods: For this experiment, male Sprague–Daw-ley rats were separated into three groups: the control; Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats; and STZ-induced diabetic + chard extract. Fourteen days after diabetes induction, chard extract (2 g/kg/day, gavage) was administered for 45 days. On day 60, liver samples were collected, and 10% (w/v) homogenate was prepared for the analysis of glycoprotein components and advanced oxidation protein products. Results: Levels of glycoprotein parameters that include hexose, hexosamine, fucose, and sialic acid, as well as advanced oxidation protein product levels, increased in the diabetic group. Chard extract administration curatively reverted the altered biochemical parameters. Conclusion: From the results obtained, it can be suggested that chard extract has a protective effect on the diabetic livers of rats. © 2021, Istanbul University Press. All rights reserved.

    The Effect of Melatonin on Glycoprotein Levels and Oxidative Liver Injury in Experimental Diabetes
    (Wiley, 2023) Ertik, Onur; Sener, Goksel; Yanardag, Refiye
    In this present study, the duration of melatonin (Mel) administered to diabetic rats was prolonged so as to examine its effects on the biochemical liver parameters of diabetic rats. In the experiment, Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided randomly into five groups; the control, diabetic + Mel, diabetic, diabetic + insulin, and diabetic + Mel + insulin. Diabetes mellitus was induced by administration of a single dose of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and rats were given vehicle as a solvent for Mel every day for 12 weeks. In the diabetic + Mel group, diabetic rats were administered Mel (10 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks to treat diabetes. The diabetic + insulin group were diabetic rats given insulin (6 U/kg) subcutaneously for 12 weeks. The diabetic + Mel + insulin rats received insulin and Mel at the same dose and time. At the end of the experiment, the animals were decapitated and liver tissues were taken. The protective effect of Mel on liver tissue of diabetic rats was investigated, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress index, adenosine deaminase, xanthine oxidase, paraoxonase 1, sodium/potassium ATPase, myeloperoxidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, homocysteine, nitric oxide, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glycoprotein levels were determined in liver tissues. Treatment with Mel and/or insulin has been found to have a protective effect on biochemical parameters. The results showed that administration of Mel to diabetic rats prevented the distortion of the studied biochemical parameters of liver tissues.
