Thymoquinone (TQ) is the main active constituent of seeds. The objective of this study was to explore the protective effects of TQ on diazinon (DZN)-induced liver toxicity in the mouse model. The animals were divided into five groups of 6 each and treated intraperitoneally. Group 1 received the vehicle, group 2 was given 16 mg/kg DZN, group 3 received 5 mg/kg TQ, and groups 4 and 5 were treated with 1.25 and 5 mg/kg of TQ as well as 16 mg/kg DZN, respectively. Finally, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) serum activity as well as nitric oxide (NO), lipid peroxidation (LPO), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total thiol molecule (TTM), and histopathological experiments were evaluated in the liver samples. Our findings showed that DZN caused a significant increase in ALT ( < 0.01), AST ( < 0.001), ALP ( < 0.001) serum levels, LPO ( < 0.001) and NO ( < 0.001), the depletion of the TAC ( < 0.05) and TTM ( < 0.001), and structural changes in the liver tissue. Following TQ administration, a significant improvement was observed in the oxidative stress biomarkers in the liver tissue. In addition, our biochemical findings were correlated well to the histopathological examinations. In conclusion, the data from this study indicate that the administration of TQ may prevent liver damage by preventing free radical formation in animals exposed to DZN.
百里醌(TQ)是种子的主要活性成分。本研究的目的是探讨百里醌对小鼠模型中敌敌畏(DZN)诱导的肝毒性的保护作用。将动物分为五组,每组6只,进行腹腔注射治疗。第1组给予赋形剂,第2组给予16 mg/kg敌敌畏,第3组给予5 mg/kg百里醌,第4组和第5组分别给予1.25 mg/kg和5 mg/kg百里醌以及16 mg/kg敌敌畏。最后,对肝脏样本中的丁酰胆碱酯酶(BChE)、丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和碱性磷酸酶(ALP)血清活性以及一氧化氮(NO)、脂质过氧化(LPO)、总抗氧化能力(TAC)、总硫醇分子(TTM)和组织病理学实验进行了评估。我们的研究结果表明,敌敌畏导致ALT(<0.01)、AST(<0.001)、ALP(<0.001)血清水平、LPO(<0.001)和NO(<0.001)显著升高,TAC(<0.05)和TTM(<0.001)耗竭,以及肝组织结构改变。给予百里醌后,肝组织中的氧化应激生物标志物有显著改善。此外,我们的生化研究结果与组织病理学检查结果相关性良好。总之,本研究数据表明,给予百里醌可能通过防止暴露于敌敌畏的动物体内自由基形成来预防肝损伤。
