Protective Role of Oleuropein against Acute Deltamethrin-Induced Neurotoxicity in Rat Brain

چکیده
BACKGROUND Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, leading to apoptosis. There is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (OE) has anti-apoptotic effect. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-apoptotic effect of OE pretreatment in the neuronal cells of cerebral cortex. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into four groups each containing five rats: DM-treated group (12.5 mg/kg, a single dose), OE-treated group (20 mg/kg per day), DM + OE-treated group, and vehicle group. Sections of the brain were obtained 24 hours after DM injection and studied for histopathological and immunohistochemistry assessment. RESULTS The histopathological assessments showed lesser characteristics of neural degeneration in DM + OE group compared with DM group. Greater Bcl-2 and attenuated Bax expression could be detected in the DM + OE treated-mice compared with DM group. CONCLUSION The results suggested that DM-induced neurotoxicity can be subsided by OE.

متن کاملAntioxidant and Protective Effects of Plant Extract against Deltamethrin-induced Oxidative Stress in Liver and Kidney – A Review
Deltamethrin is one of the most commonly used Pyrethroid around the world. Oxidative stress is one of the most deltamethrin toxicity mechanisms. According to many studies, it has been shown that the liver, due to its role, is the main source of accumulation of high concentrations of deltamethrin metabolites. Also the kidney plays a very important role in regulating homeostasis of the body and r...
متن کاملThe effect of oleuropein on the anxiety caused by acute stress via reducing oxidative stress in mice
Introduction: Severe stressful events are associated with the risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Due to the negative effects of anti-anxiety drugs, researcher’s attention have been focused on finding natural ingredients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oleuropein on anxiety induced by acute stress in male rats. Materials and Methodes: To induc...
متن کاملNatural products as safeguards against monosodium glutamate-induced toxicity
Monosodium glutamate is a sodium salt of a nonessential amino acid, L-glutamic acid, which is widely used in food industry. Glutamate plays an important role in principal brain functions including formation and stabilization of synapses, memory, cognition, learning, as well as cellular metabolism. However, ingestion of foodstuffs rich in monosodium glutamate can result in the outbreak of severa...
