Abstract

This study aimed to determine the vitamins A-D and E levels in rats with experimental fluorosis and in whom vitamins, C and E were administered for prevention and treatment. One-month-old Wistar-Albino rats were used as material in the study. Nine groups of 8 animals each were studied. Sodium fluoride (NaF) solutions (150 mg / kg) prepared in drinking water were administered ad-libitum during the study. Vitamin C (100 mg / kg), Vitamin E (300 mg / kg) and Vitamin C + Vitamin E (100 mg / kg + 300 mg / kg) were administered to the protection group with water containing 150 ppm NaF for 16 weeks / day. Water containing 150 ppm NaF was given ad-libitum for 16 weeks in the treatment group, and then Vitamin C (100 mg/kg), Vitamin E (300 mg/kg) and Vitamin C + Vitamin E (100 mg/kg + 300 mg/kg) were administered along with normal drinking water for 4 weeks. At the end of sixteen weeks, blood samples were taken from the rats and their serums were removed. Serum Retinol, α-Tocopherol, Vitamin D3 levels were determined by HPLC. In the fluorosis group, it was found that there was no change in serum vitamin A and vitamin D levels with the application of vitamins C and E for treatment and protection, but a decrease in vitamin E level. As a result, it was concluded that the administration of vitamin E is effective in both the prevention and treatment of fluorosis cases.

Deneysel Florozis Oluşturulmuş Ratlarda Tedavi ve Koruma Amaçlı Vitamin C ve Vitamin E Uygulamasının Serum Vitamin Düzeyleri Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, deneysel florozis oluşturulmuş, korunma ve tedavi için vitamin C ve E uygulanmış ratlarda A- D ve E vitamin düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmada materyal olarak, 1 aylık Wistar-Albino ratlar kullanıldı. Her biri 8 hayvandan oluşan 9 grup üzerinde çalışıldı. İçme suyu içerisinde hazırlanan sodyum florür (NaF) çözeltileri (150 mg/kg), çalışma süresince ad-libitum olarak uygulandı. Koruma grubuna, 150 ppm NaF içeren su ile birlikte 16 hafta/gün aşırı Vitamin C (100 mg/kg), Vitamin E (300 mg/kg) ve Vitamin C + Vitamin E (100 mg/kg + 300 mg/kg) uygulandı. Tedavi grubuna, 16 hafta süresince 150 ppm NaF içeren su, ad-libitum olarak verildikten sonra 4 hafta süresince normal içme suyu yanında; Vitamin C (100 mg/kg), Vitamin E (300 mg/kg) ve Vitamin C + Vitamin E (100 mg/kg + 300 mg/kg) uygulandı. On altı hafta sonunda ratlardan kan örnekleri alınarak serumları çıkarıldı. Serum Retinol, α-Tokoferol, Vitamin D3, düzeyleri HPLC ile belirlendi. Florozis grubunda tedavi ve koruma amaçlı vitamin C ve E uygulaması ile serum vitamin A ve vitamin D düzeylerinde bir değişikliğin olmadığı, ancak vitamin E seviyesinde azalma olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, florozis olgularında hem korunmada hem de tedavide vitamin E verilmesinin etkili olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
