Abstract:

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that occurs as a result of absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin release and/or insulin effect due to impairment of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and it is characterized by hyperglycemia and leads to various complications.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of(HP) and, which are natural flavonoids, on serum malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes.

Materials and Methods: The experimental animals were divided into four groups, each group comprising ten rats designated as follows: Group 1 served as control rats (C); Group 2 served as diabetic rats (DM); Group 3 served as diabetic rats administered HP (DM + HP) (100 mg/kg b. w.); and Group 4 served as diabetic rats administered(DM + Q) (100 mg/kg b. w.).

Results: Serum MDA and GSH levels were significantly higher in STZ-induced DM group than control group (<0.05). In DM + HP and DM + Q groups, MDA levels were significantly decreased compared to DM groups (<0.05), but there was no significant difference GSH levels between DM, DM + HP, and DM + Q groups (>0.05). TNF-α levels in STZ-induced DM group were significantly decreased compared to control group (<0.05), and groups of DM + HP and DM + Q had higher serum TNF-α levels than STZ-induced DM group (<0.05). In STZ-induced DM group, serum IL-6 levels were decreased compared to control group (<0.05).

Conclusion: As a result, in this study, we determined that HP andmay play an effective role in regulating insulin metabolism metabolism in diabetes. However, considering the incompatibility of various results in the literature as well as our own results, we think that the actual role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of diabetes is one of the issues that need to be clarified in further studies.

SUMMARY: (HP) andreduced the insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA) serum levels and raised the glutathione (GSH) levels compared to diabetes mellitus (DM) groupSZT-inducedincreased the MDA serum levels and decreased the GSH levels compared to control groupHP and-treated rats showed higher interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha cytokine levels than DM groupHP andmay play an effective role in regulating insulin metabolism in diabetes.DM: Diabetes mellitus, MDA: Malondialdehyde, GSH: Glutathione; IL-6: Interleukin-6, TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor alpha, HP: Hesperidin, Q; Quercetin, STZ: Streptozotocin, TC: Total cholesterol, TG: Triglyceride, HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C: Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, VLDL-C: Very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
