- Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of quercetin (QUE) on cypermethrin (CYP) induced gastrotoxicity in rats. 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, 7 in each group. In the study, 25 and 50 mg/kg QUE were administered orally 30 min after 25 mg/kg cypermethrin was administered to rats for 28 days. Oxidative stress, inflammation, ER stress, apoptosis and autophagy markers were biochemically analyzed in gastric tissues. Additionally, histological analysis was performed for microscopic evaluation of gastric tissue. The results revealed that QUE prevented tissue damage by reducing CYP-induced lipid peroxidation (MDA) and increasing GSH, SOD, CAT and GPx activities. It also showed anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing inflammatory markers such as NF-𝜅B, IL1β, TNF-α, iNOS and COX-2. QUE administration down-regulated CYP-induced increased PERK, ATF6, Caspase-3 and Beclin-1 markers. In addition, administration of QUE ameliorated the pathological tissue damage in gastric tissue due to CYP. The data of this study show that Que suppresses CYP-induced gastric toxicity by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, ER stress, apoptosis a autophagy.
