Open-access Effect of taxifolin on oxidative gastric injury induced by celiac artery ligation in rats1

Purpose:   To examine the effect of taxifolin on I/R induced gastric injury in rats using biochemical and histopatholohical methods.

Methods:  Eighteen albino Wistar male rats equally grouped as; gastric I/R (I/R), 50 mg/kg taxifolin + gastric I/R (TAX+ I/R) and sham operation applied (SHAM). Ischemia induced for 1 hour, and reperfusion induced for 3 hours.

Results:   Oxidant parameters like, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Hydroxyguanine (8-OHdG) were higher, whereas total glutathione (tGSH) was lower in the I/R group according to SHAM group, histopathological findings such as marked destruction, edema, and proliferated dilated congested blood vessels were observed severely in the I/R group, whereas there was not any pathological finding except mild dilated congested blood vessels in the TAX+ I/R group.

Conclusion:   The taxifolin can be clinically beneficial in the treatment of gastric injury due to I/R procedure.
