Abstract

Objective: Amiodarone is used in the treatment of arrhythmia and has been shown to cause side effects in various organs. White cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) is a widely consumed vegetable. The effects of exposure to amiodarone and white cabbage consumption on heart tissue has not previously been investigated. We aimed to investigate the effects of white cabbage extract on amiodarone given to rats’ cardiac tissues. Material and Method: Rats were given white cabbage extract and amiodarone by gavage for seven days. Amiodarone was applied 1 hour after administration of the white cabbage extract. On the eighth day, the hearts of the animals were taken and homogenized. The levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH), sialic acid (SA) and activities of glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and tissue factor (TF) were determined. Results: The GSH level, CAT and SOD activities decreased, while the LPO and SA levels increased in the amiodarone treated group. The White cabbage extract prevented any damage of the amiodarone by decreasing the amount of LPO and SA and also strengthened the antioxidant defence system by increasing the amount of the GSH and SOD activities and the CAT and GST activities. Conclusion: It is suggested that the consumption of white cabbage could be an alternative approach to the prevention of the adverse effects of amiodarone on heart tissue.

Beyaz Lahana Ekstresi Amiodaronun Sıçanlarda Kalp Dokusu Üzerindeki Zararlı Etkilerini İyileştirir

Abstract

Amaç: Aritmi tedavisinde kullanılan amiodaronun çeşitli organlarda yan etkilere neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Beyaz lahana (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) yaygın olarak tüketilen bir sebzedir. Amiodaron maruziyeti ve beyaz lahana tüketiminin kalp dokusu üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmamıştır. Beyaz lahana ekstraktının amiodaron uygulanan sıçanların kalp dokuları üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Sıçanlara yedi gün boyunca gavajla beyaz lahana ekstresi ve amiodaron verildi. Beyaz lahana ekstresinin uygulanmasından 1 saat sonra amiodaron uygulandı. Sekizinci günde, hayvanların kalpleri alındı ve homojenize edildi. Lipit peroksidasyon (LPO), indirgenmiş glutatyon (GSH), siyalik asit (SA) düzeyleri ile glutatyon-S-transferaz (GST), katalaz, süperoksit dismutaz (SOD) ve doku faktörü (TF) aktiviteleri belirlendi. Bulgular: Amiodaron verilen grupta GSH, CAT, SOD aktiviteleri azalırken LPO ve SA seviyeleri arttı. Beyaz lahana, LPO ve SA miktarını azaltarak amiodaron zararını önledi. Ayrıca GSH düzeyleri ile SOD, CAT ve GST aktivitelerini artırarak antioksidan savunma sistemini güçlendirdi. Sonuç: Beyaz lahana tüketiminin, amiodaronun kalp dokusunda olumsuz etkilerini önlemek için alternatif bir yaklaşım olabileceği ileri sürülebilir.
