Honey reduces blood alcohol concentration but not affects the level of serum MDA and GSH-Px activity in intoxicated male mice models

چکیده
BACKGROUND For a long time, honey was purportedly helpful to prevent drunkenness and relieve hangover symptoms. However, few of the assertions have experienced scientific assessment. The present study examined the effects of honey on intoxicated male mice. METHODS Low or high doses of lychee flower honey (2.19 or 4.39 g/kg body weight, respectively) were single orally administrated 30 min before the ethanol intoxication of mice, followed by recording the locomotor activity by autonomic activity instrument and observing the climbing ability after alcohol. On the other hand, 2.19 g/kg honey was single orally administrated 5 min after the ethanol intoxication of mice, followed by determining the ethanol concentration in mice blood. In addition, subacute alcoholism mice models were developed and after the treatment of 2.19 g/kg honey s.i.d for successive three days, the level of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity were detected in the models. RESULTS Both of the two doses of honey increased the autonomic activity of alcoholized mice. Furthermore, the treatment of 2.19 g/kg honey could decrease significantly the blood ethanol concentration in intoxicated mice. The anti-intoxication activity of honey could be due to the effect of the fructose contained in the honey. Meanwhile, honey could not affect the serum MDA level and GSH-Px activity in alcoholism mice models. CONCLUSION Honey indeed possesses anti-intoxication activity.

متن کاملLead and Zinc Influence on Antioxidant Enzyme Activity and Malondialdehyde Concentrations
The influence of zinc on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the blood of rats intoxicated with lead was studied. Exposure to lead at the concentration of 500 mg/dm for 6 weeks caused a decrease in the activities of SOD, GSH-PX and GR as well as an increase in MDA concentrations in the serum. Zinc at the concentration of 60 mg/dm administered for a period of 2 weeks after exposure to cadmium...
