Protective Effect of N-Acetylcysteine on The Kidney and Liver Pathology Induced by NMDA Receptor Antagonist Mk-801 in Mice
Öz
The glutamatergic system and its receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is an important synapse mechanism in the nervous system. The MK-801 is the blocker of this receptor and according to the literature, the sub-chronic administration of 1mg/kg MK-801 resulted in schizophrenia-like symptoms and degeneration in the mice brain. The aim of the present study was to observe whether this dose of MK-801 has any pathological effect on the liver and kidney tissues and whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was a protective effect. For this purpose, the 24 Balb/C male mice were divided into 4 groups, equally. The first group was the control and 0.9% saline (10mg/kg) was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected. The 1mg/kg MK-801 was i.p. administered to the second group. The third group was i.p. received 1mg/kg MK-801, 100 mg/kg NAC and finally the 100mg/kg NAC i.p. injected to the fourth group. The drug administration was ended on the 14th day. The kidney and the liver of the sacrificed mice were collected and routine histology procedure was applied. The histopathological changes in the organs and NAC’s mostly protective effect were noticed after the observations. In conclusion, NAC has a partially but significantly protective effect against the MK-801 dependent histopathological changes on the kidney and liver tissues.
