ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Globally, stroke is the leading cause of disability and death. With the use of thrombolytic therapy, reperfusion injury, and its consequences came to the fore. We aimed to find out how anzer propolis, which can only be obtained in Turkey's Eastern Black Sea region, affected ischemia-reperfusion injury using biochemical and histological techniques. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
32 female Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups, including a control group. Three of the groups underwent 30 minutes of induced ischemia via clamping of the common carotid artery, followed by ischemia-reperfusion injury through the release of the clamp. One group received no treatment, another received oral administration of 100 mg/kg of anzer propolis one hour before surgery, and the third group received oral administration of 40 mg/kg of acetylsalicylic acid just before surgery. Histopathological examination assessed apoptosis and tissue necrosis, while serum and brain tissue were evaluated for levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), Interlokin 1ß (IL-1ß), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), total antioxidant capacity (TAS), and total oxidant capacity (TOS).RESULTS:
Anzer propolis and acetylsalicylic acid significantly reduced hyperemia in vessels, vacuolization in neurons, glial cell infiltration, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positivity. The anzer propolis group had the highest NGF levels. The anzer propolis and acetylsalicylic acid groups had lower levels of TNF-a and IL-6 in the brain tissue than the ischemia-reperfusion group, while TAS levels were higher.CONCLUSIONS:
The findings obtained in this study suggest that anzer propolis has a neuroprotective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury and will have beneficial effects on neurodegeneration. We believe our findings will contribute to the clinical treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury.
