Publication Metadata only Protective effects of omega-3 essential fatty acids against formaldehyde-induced cerebellar damage in rats(2011-07-01T00:00:00Z) Zararsiz, Ismail; Meydan, SEDAT; Sarsilmaz, Mustafa; Songur, Ahmet; Ozen, Oguz Aslan; Sogut, Sadik; MEYDAN, SEDATThis study aimed to investigate changes in the cerebellum of formaldehyde-exposed rats and the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on these changes. The study involved 21 male Wistar-Albino rats which were divided into three groups. The rats in Group I comprised the control group. The rats in Group II were injected with intraperitoneal 10% formaldehyde every other day. The rats in Group III received omega-3 fatty acids daily while exposed to formaldehyde. At the end of the 14-day experimental period, all rats were killed by decapitation and the cerebellum removed. The activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), xanthine oxidase (XO), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined in cerebellum specimens by using spectrophotometric methods. In our study, levels of SOD and CAT were significantly decreased, and GSH-Px, XO, MDA levels were significantly increased in rats treated with formaldehyde compared with those of the controls. Whereas, it was seen that there was an increase in SOD and CAT enzyme activities and decrease in MDA, XO, and GSH-Px levels in rats administered to omega-3 fatty acids with exposure of formaldehyde. It was determined that exposure of formaldehyde increased free radicals in cerebellum of rats and this increase was prevented by administration of omega-3 fatty acids.Publication Metadata only Effects of ceftriaxone on ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat brain(2013-03-01T00:00:00Z) Altas, M.; Meydan, SEDAT; Aras, M.; Yilmaz, N.; Ulutas, K. T.; Okuyan, H. M.; Nacar, A.; MEYDAN, SEDATThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ceftriaxone treatment against short-term global brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. The study was carried out on 30 Wistar-albino rats that were divided into three groups: control group (n = 10), I/R group (n = 10) and I/R-ceftriaxone group (n = 10). Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly increased in the I/R group in comparison with the control group (p < 0.001). MDA was significantly lower in the I/R-ceftriaxone group than in the I/R group (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly decreased in the I/R group and increased in the I/R-ceftriaxone group as compared with the control group. Glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly decreased in the I/R group and increased in the I/R-ceftriaxone group as compared with the I/R group and the control. Histopathologically, ceftriaxone provided morphological improvement compared with the I/R group. We concluded that ceftriaxone has neuron-protective effects due to its antioxidant properties as shown by a decrease in MDA overproduction and histological improvement in brain tissue.

Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Control rats were given normal drinking water and no drug treatment for 2 weeks. LNNA group: rats were given normal drinking water and the nitric oxide (NO) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), 3 mg/kg/day. LNNA + Salt group: rats were given drinking water containing salt 2% and 3 mg/kg L-NNA. Salt group: rats were given drinking water containing salt 2% and no drug treatment. Basal blood pressure and the levels of serum BUN, creatinine, uric acid, cortisol, electrolyte, serum antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress were measured. NO, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) levels were measured in the hypothalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum. Salt overload increased the blood pressure of the LNNA + Salt group. Salt-loading enhanced BUN, creatinine, sodium retention. High salt produced an increase in uric acid levels and a decrease in cortisol levels in serum. Additionally, the oxidative stress index in serum increased in the LNNA + Salt group. Salt-loading enhanced brain NO levels, but not SOD and CAT activity. L-NNA increased brain SOD activity, but not CAT and NO levels. In conclusion, salt-loading causes hypertension, kidney dysfunction, and enhances oxidative stress in salt-sensitive rats.Publication Metadata only Protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester and thymoquinone on toluene induced liver toxicity.(2019-05-01) Esrefoglu, MUKADDES; Bayındır, NİHAN; KURBETLI, N; Selek, S; Akbas, Tosunoglu; Meydan, SEDAT; OZTURK, OSMAN; Bulut, HURİ; Meral, I; MEYDAN, SEDAT; EŞREFOĞLU, MUKADDES; SELEK, ŞAHABETTİN; ÖZTÜRK, OSMAN; BAYINDIR, NİHAN; BULUT, HURI; MERAL, İSMAİLPublication Metadata only Effects of lemon essential oil aroma on the learning behaviors of rats.(2010-10-01T00:00:00Z) OGETURK, M; KOSE, E; SARSıLMAZ, M; AKPINAR, B; KUS, I; Meydan, SEDAT; MEYDAN, SEDATPublication Open Access Could the PON1 phenotype play a key role in insulin resistance?(2022-06-01T00:00:00Z) Sarikaya, Ufuk; Meydan, Sedat; Selek, Şahabettin; Sarikaya, Alime; Demirel, Metin; Gül, Ayşe Zehra; Yildiz, Tuğçe; SARIKAYA, UFUK; MEYDAN, SEDAT; SELEK, ŞAHABETTİN; DEMİREL, METİN; GÜL, AYŞE ZEHRA; YILDIZ, TUĞÇEAim/objectivesRecent studies have shown that Paraoxonase (PON1) enzyme plays a possible role in insulin synthesis by stimulating insulin release from β-cells of the pancreas as well as its anti-atherosclerotic property. In our study, we revealed the relationship between phenotypes of the PON1 enzyme and insulin resistance (IR) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG).Materials and methodsA cohort of 71 IR, 63 IFG, and 68 healthy individuals was examined in this study. The phenotypic distribution was demonstrated by studying PON1 enzyme’s Paraoxonase (POase) and Arylesterase (AREase) activity with automated measurement kits.ResultsBy measuring the ratio of POase activity to AREase activity, 3 different phenotypes (QQ (Risky or Bad Phenotype), QR (Notre Phenotype), and RR (Good Phenotype)) were discovered. The results showed that IR and IFG individuals had riskier phenotypes compared to the control group. In addition, individuals with bad phenotypes were found to be 1.85 and 2.16 times more likely to get IR and IFG, respectively. Both groups were found to be four times more likely to be affected by the bad phenotype (odds ratio: 3.69 and 4.47 respectively).ConclusionIn this present study, the relationship between PON1 enzyme phenotypes and IR was evaluated for the first time in this field. Decreased PON1 activity and poor phenotype may also increase the development of hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus (DM) due to IR and IFG. It may also predispose to diseases such as atherosclerosis. Therefore, we think that further investigations to explain the possible mechanisms underlying the relationship between PON1 phenotypes, IR and IFG will be useful in the early diagnosis and prevention ofprediabetes.Publication Metadata only Türkiye Klinikleri Çocuk Göğüs Hastalıkları - Özel Konular - Çocuklarda Enfeksiyon Dışı Hava Yolu Hastalıkları(2022-05-01T00:00:00Z) Çakır, Erkan; Meydan, Sedat; Özaltay, Yusuf Furkan; MEYDAN, SEDAT; ÖZALTAY, YUSUF FURKANPublication Metadata only BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF ERDOSTEINE ON METHOTREXATE-INDUCED TESTICULAR TOXICITY IN MICE(2010-09-01T00:00:00Z) Oktar, S.; Gokce, A.; Aydin, M.; Davarci, M.; Meydan, Sedat; Ozturk, O. H.; Koc, A.; MEYDAN, SEDATPublication Open Access Paraoxonase-1 Phenotype and Its Relationship with Mean Platelet Volume and Oxidative Stress in Coronary Artery Disease(2015-09-01) SELEK, ŞAHBETTİN ; ÖZER, ÖMER FARUK ; GOKTEKİN, Omer ; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; KALINBACOGLU, Ceren; ISLEK, Irem ; ISLEK, Tuğba; ARPACI, Beyza; Erol, Neval; MEYDAN, Sedat; GÜLER, ERAY METİN; SELEK, ŞAHABETTİN; ÖZER, ÖMER FARUK; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; MEYDAN, SEDAT; GÜLER, ERAY METİNObjective: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) 192 QR polymorphism is believed to be an important protective factor for coronary artery disease (CAD); oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of atherosclerotic CAD. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is also central to the processes, including pathophysiology of CAD and endothelial dysfunction. Thus, we aimed to determine the PON1 phenotype, MPV, and oxidative stress parameters in patients with angiographically proven CAD and to compare them with those in healthy subjects. Methods: Fifty-five CAD patients were diagnosed according to the angiography results, and 37 healthy subjects were present in this study. Serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities were spectrophotometrically measured. Phenotype distribution was evaluated by the salt-stimulated paraoxonase activity according to arylesterase activity. Oxidative stress markers were evaluated by measuring serum total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) as well as oxidative stress index. Results: In this study, the ratio of salt-stimulated paraoxonase/ OSI levels (S-PON1/OSI) were lower in the CAD patients and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). Therefore, the ratio of salt-stimulated paraoxonase/MPV (S -PON1/MPV) and S- PON1/OSI level were significantly different in the CAD patients as compared with controls group (p<0.01). Conclusion: Our study has suggested that S-PON1/OSI and SPON1/ MPV may play a significant role in CAD. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to study the relationship among PON1 phenotype, MPV, and OSI in CAD patients. Thus, lowering of the oxidative stress and the regulation of MPV strategies may be a promising approach for the treatment of CAD.
