Öğe The effects of chronic administration of sumatriptan and dipyrone on serotonergic system in the rat brain: an immunohistochemical study(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009) Genc, E.; Avunduk, M. C.; Genc, B. Oguz; Sahin, A. Saide; Oz, M.Objective - To investigate the effects of chronic high dose sumatriptan and dipyrone treatment on central serotonergic system in rats. Materials and methods - Male Sprague-Dawley rats (seven per group) were daily injected with sumatriptan (3 mg/kg), dipyrone (400 mg/kg) or saline for 30 days. The brains of animals were surgically removed and immunohistochemically stained for serotonin. Serotonin-positive stained cells were counted automatically by using a computerized image analysis program. Statistical analysis carried out using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey test. Results - A significant decrease in serotonin-positive cells in the brainstem was observed after chronic sumatriptan administration while chronic use of dipyrone induced a significant increase in serotonin-positive cells both in the cortex and midbrain. Conclusion - Our data suggest that central serotonergic system might be modified by chronic use of sumatriptan and dipyrone.Öğe Effects of exercise preconditioning on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(COMENIUS UNIV, 2014) Gokbel, H.; Oz, M.; Okudan, N.; Belviranli, M.; Esen, H.Background: To investigate the effects of exercise preconditioning on oxidative injury in the intestinal tissue of rats. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups as sham (n = 10), ischemia-reperfusion (n = 10), exercise (n = 10), exercise plus ischemia-reperfusion (n = 10), ischemic preconditioning (n = 10), and ischemic preconditioning plus ischemia-reperfusion groups (n = 10). Tissue levels of malondialdehyde and activities of myeloperoxidase and superoxide dismutase, and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 were measured. Intestinal tissue histopathology was also evaluated by light microscopy. Results: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations significantly decreased in the exercise group compared to the sham group (p < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activity significantly increased and superoxide dismutase activity significantly decreased in ischemia-reperfusion group compared to the sham group (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase activity in the ischemic preconditioning and ischemic preconditioning plus ischemia-reperfusion groups were significantly higher compared to the ischemia-reperfusion and exercise groups (p < 0.05). Histopathologically, intestinal injury significantly attenuated in the exercise plus ischemia-reperfusion group compared to the ischemia-reperfusion group. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that exercise training seems to have a protective role against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (Tab. 3, Fig. 1, Ref. 35).

A.; Oz, M.[Abstract not Available]Öğe Protective effects of curcumin supplementation on intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2013) Okudan, N.; Belviranli, M.; Gokbel, H.; Oz, M.; Kumak, A.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects curcumin on inflammation and oxidative stress markers in the intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR) injury induced rats. Rats were divided into four groups: sham (S), intestinal IR (IIR), curcumin plus sham (CS), and curcumin plus intestinal IR (CIIR). Curcumin was given 200 mg kg(-1) for 20 days. IIR was produced by 45 min of intestinal ischemia followed by a 120 min of reperfusion. Although interleukin-6 levels tended to increase in IIR group tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels were not different. Intestinal myeloperoxidase activity in CS group was lower than IIR group. In intestine and heart tissues, malondialdehyde levels in CS and CIIR groups were lower than S and IIR groups. Superoxide dismutase activity in CIIR group was higher than IIR group in intestine and lung tissues. Curcumin has a protective role against ischemia reperfusion injury. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH.

A.; Oz, M.; Esen, H. H.Cisplatin-based chemotherapy has a variety of vascular side effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the beneficial effect of melatonin and cisplatin on the alterations in vascular reactivity and structure of cisplatin-treated rats. Phenylephrine (PHE) and KCI-caused concentration-dependent contractions of rat aorta. Pretreatment with cisplatin increased the sensitivity but not the max response to PHE and KCl. In rats treated with melatonin or quercetin before cisplatin, the EC(50) values, but not the maximal response to both agents were significantly higher than cisplatin-treated group. Compared to the control group, cisplatin-treatment significantly reduced the luminal area of the aorta. In melatonin and quercetin-treated aortas the luminal area values were significantly higher than cisplatin-treated group. The results demonstrate for the first time that melatonin and quercetin treatment may protect the aorta in cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
