Summary: | Aim
We aimed to investigate the effects of rasagiline on acute lung injury that develops in the sepsis model induced with the cecal ligation and puncture in rats.
Main Methods
The rats were separated into the following six groups, Group 1: Sham, Group 2: Sham + Rasagiline 4 mg/kg, Group 3: Sepsis, Group 4: Sepsis + Rasagiline 1 mg/kg, Group 5: Sepsis + Rasagiline 2 mg/kg, Group 6: Sepsis + Rasagiline 4 mg/kg. A total of four holes were opened with a 16-gauge needle through the cecum distal to the point of ligation.
Key Findings
Rasagiline treatment increased glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity while decreased the malondialdehyde level after the sepsis. There was a statistically significant improvement in the doses of 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg. Rasagiline also increased Tnf-α, IL1β, IL6, NF-κβand HMGB1 gene expressions in dose-dependent at 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg doses. In increased doses, rasagiline prevent the development of edema, the formation of inflammation, and hemorrhage.
Significance
Rasagiline exerts both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the cecal ligation and puncture induced acute lung injury in rats. |
