Zusammenfassung: | To investigate the effect of lacidipine, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and the combination of lacidipine and TPP against oxidative and inflammatory eye damage induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in rats.
Male albino Wistar rats were categorized as those who underwent sham surgery (SG), right and left common carotid cross-clamping and unclamping procedure (CCU), lacidipine+CCU (LCCU), TPP+CCU (TCCU), and combination of lacidipine and TPP (LTC)+CCU (LTCCU). One hour before anesthesia, the LCCU (
=6) received lacidipine (4 mg/kg, orally) and the TCCU (
=6) received TPP (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). The SG (
=6) and CCU (
=6) received the same volume of distilled water from the same route. After anesthesia (60 mg/kg ketamine, intraperitoneally), the necks of the rats were opened in the midline. Ischemia was created for 10min by placing clips on the right and left common carotid arteries. Rats in the SG only underwent subcutaneous incision. After 10min, the clips were removed and reperfusion was achieved for six days. Then, the animals were euthanized (120 mg/kg ketamine, intraperitoneally) and the levels of oxidant, antioxidant and proinflammatory cytokines in the eye tissues were determined. The retinal tissue of the eye was also examined histopathologically.
Lacidipine, TPP, and LTC significantly prevent the increase in malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 levels, decrease in total glutathione levels, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and histopathological retinal damage in eye tissue induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in rats. The impact of these drugs on protection is determined to be LTC>lacidipine>TPP.
As a result of the study, it is concluded that LTC may be more effective than lacidipine and TPP alone in treating ocular ischemic syndrome. |
