Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the levels of irisin in the heart, which is a vital organ, in rats of different ages and to reveal whether Ferula elaeochytris (FE) has an effect on the expression of the irisin.
Materials and Methods: Our study was designed in six groups, young (4 months), middle age (12 months), old (24 months) rats which were given FE extract for 8 weeks and their control groups. After that their heart tissues were taken and irisin levels were measured by immunohistochemical staining method.
Results: The obtained results were analyzed by performing histoscoring. It was observed that the level of irisin in old rats was statistically significantly lower in young and middle age rats. In addition, irisin level of in all groups administered with FE extract was found significantly increased.
Conclusion: FE extract increases the level of irisin through other pathways besides its protective effect against tissue damage.

Ferula elaeochytrisin sıçan kalbinde irisin düzeylerine etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı yaşlardaki sıçanlarda hayati bir organ olan kalpte bulunan irisin düzeylerini belirlemek ve Ferula elaeochytris'in (FE) irisin ekspresyonu üzerine etkisi olup olmadığını ortaya çıkarmaktır..
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız 8 hafta boyunca FE ekstraktı verilmiş genç (4 ay), orta yaş (12 ay), yaşlı (24 ay) sıçanlar ve onların kontrol grupları olmak üzere altı grup şeklinde düzenlenmiştir. Ardından kalp dokuları alınarak, kalp dokusunda irisin seviyeleri immünohistokimyasal boyama yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür.
Bulgular: Elde edilen sonuçlar histoskorlama yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yaşlı sıçanlarda irisin seviyesinin genç ve orta yaş sıçanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca FE ekstraktı verilmiş bütün gruplarda irisin düzeylerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede anlamlı artış olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: FE ekstraktının doku hasarına karşı koruyucu etkisinin dışında başka yolaklar aracılığıyla da irisin seviyesini artırdığı düşünülmektedir.
