Aim: In this paper, it was purposed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of fraxin against acute organ
damage induced by cecal ligation and puncture model (CLP) in rats. Material and Methods: For this
purpose in our study, all experimental animals were randomly grouped. These groups were stated as shamcontrol, CLP, CLP+Fraxin 50 mg/kg, CLP+Fraxin 100 mg/kg groups. TAS, TOS, OSI, MDA levels, MPO
and SOD activities were evaluated in kidney and lung tissues of all rats. Results: TOS, OSI, MDA levels and
MPO activity of kidney and lung tissues were higher in the CLP group than in the sham-control group, but
TAS level and SOD activity were lower. However, these results were significantly changed in the fraxin
treatment groups. Conclusion: In light of these results, it can be stated that fraxin shows a positive effect by
raising the level of SOD and TAS by decreasing TOS, MPO and MDA levels on kidney and lung tissue in the
model of sepsis caused by CLP.
