protective effects of co-enzyme q10 on thioacetamide-induced acute liver damage and its correlation with behavioral, biochemical, and pathological factors

چکیده
conclusions overall, coq10 was determined to have positive effects on liver injury and its related behavioral and biochemical changes. results the serum levels of alanine-aminotransferase (alt), aspartate-aminotransferase (ast), and nh4 show significant increases (p < 0.05). the groups treated with coq10 were shown to have significantly lower clinical grade of encephalopathy (p = 0.001), higher locomotor activity (p = 0.000), and lower levels of depression (p = 0.000). furthermore, it was also shown that coq10 treatment may lead to significant decreases in scores of centrilobular necrosis, apoptosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, vacuolization, and liver necrosis (p < 0.05). background acute liver damage may be followed by biochemical, behavioral, and pathological alterations, which can result in serious complications and even death. objectives in this experimental study we determined whether coenzyme q10 (coq10), a common supplementary medicine known to have protective, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory effects in cells, has any protective effect against thioacetamide (taa)-induced liver damage and its related neurobehavioral alterations in rats. materials and methods in this experimental study forty-eight wistar rats were divided randomly into four groups (n = 12): c1 was the control group; c2 received a single-dose of taa (350mg/kg; intraperitoneally) without any other treatment; e1 received taa + 5 mg/kg coq10 (intraperitoneally); and e2 received taa + 10 mg/kg coq10. after sacrificing the rats, liver enzymes and plasma-ammonia (nh4) were measured and histopathological analyses of the livers were carried out. elevated-plus-maze, open-field, and forced-swimming tests were also performed to investigate behavioral correlations.

Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor with the effects of antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-fibrosis that has been shown to induce damage in liver. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of PTX on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced acute liver injury in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups: cont...
