Abstract
In the study; the purpose was to investigate the in vivoimpact of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and quercetin (Qu) on activities of important metabolic enzymes such as Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) in rat erythrocytes. At the experimental stage, rats were divided into 4 groups. 1.Group (Control): Pure olive oil at a dose determined according to their body weight (1mL/kg) was given to the rats in this group, 2.Group (CCl4: 1.0 mL/kg (ip)(1:1), 3.Group (Ku: 25) mg/kg (ip), 4.Group (CCl4(1.0 ml/kg (ip)+ Ku (25 mg/kg (ip) was injected. The study was continued for 3 days.The results revealed that the activities of; G6PD (p˂0.01), 6PGD (p˂0.01), GR(p˂0.001) and GST (p˃0.05) enzyme activities were decreased in the CCl4group compared to the control group. It was determined that enzyme activities were higher in CCl4+Qu applied groups compared to CCl4group.The application of Qu caused an increase in the enzyme activity value. This can be accepted as an indication that the inhibition caused by CCI4has disappeared. Consequently; It is thought that Qu may be effective in preventing oxidative damage due to CCl4administration.
