Abstract:

Introduction: Acrolein is an important environmental, food and water pollutant that plays an important role in the development of several diseases. Resveratrol is a phenolic compound with antioxidant properties found in fruits such as grapes, berries and peanuts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol in preventing Acrolein-induced toxicity in isolated mitochondria from the rat liver. Methods: Rat liver mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation. Different concentrations of Acrolein (100 μM to 2000 μM) were used to obtain an IC50. Different concentrations of resveratrol (2.5 μM to 40 μM) were then applied on mitochondria in the presence of Acrolein toxicity. Results: Acrolein IC50 was obtained via MTT assay as 400 μM. No toxic effect was observed for resveratrol and in the presence of Acrolein, there was a significant reduction in mitochondrial survival even at high concentrations of resveratrol compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of these study showed that resveratrol failed to exhibit a protective effect against acute Acrolein toxicity and just because a protective substance could be a marvelous antioxidant does not mean that it can prevent the mitochondrial damage resulted from any toxicant.

Protective Effect of Captopril against Doxorubicin-Induced Oxidative Stress in Isolated Rat Liver Mitochondria

      Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic that has been used for a long time in therapy of an array of human malignancies either alone or in combination with other cytotoxic agents. The dose-dependent cardiotoxicity of DOX significantly limits its anticancer efficacies. Oxidative stress caused by enhanced production of reactive oxygen species is an important contributor to DOX mito...

Comparison of the Protective Effects of Curcumin and Nanocurcumin on Acrolein Induced Mitochondrial Toxicity Isolated from Rat Liver

Background and Objectives: Contact with acrolein rapidly reduces intracellular glutathione and its antioxidant capacity and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. The use of some polymeric nanocurcumin increases the stability of curcumin. In this study, the effect of these two, was investigated on acrolein-induced toxicity in mitochondria isolated from rat liver cells.   Methods: In this experiment...

A Comparison of Toxicity Mechanisms of Cigarette Smoke on Isolated Mitochondria Obtained from Rat Liver and Skin

Previous studies demonstrated that CSE induces oxidative stress and its consequences on isolated mitochondria obtained from lung, heart and brain which may provide insight into the role of CSE in human health and disease. The present study was carried out to further characterize and compare toxic effect of CSE extract on isolated mitochondria obtained from either a directly contacting tissue (i...

Study of the Effects of ATP Suppliers and Thiol Reductants on Toxicity of Pioglitazone in Isolated Rat Liver Mitochondria

Pioglitazone (PG) is one of thiazolidinediones used for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Some reports of its hepatotoxicity exist, but the mechanism of its hepatotoxicity is not well known. In the present study, the protective effect of some ATP suppliers are investigated against mitochondrial toxicity of PG in isolated rat mitochondria. Mitochondrial viability was investigated by MT...
