Abstract

The aim of this
study is to evaluate the possible protective effects of melatonin on hemostatic
parameters in diabetic rats. For this purpose, 32 adult,
male, healthy Wistar Abino rats were seperated into four groups. Control group didn’t exposure any trial. Melatonin group was
treated with 50 mg/kg melatonin by intraperitoneally during 8 weeks. In diabetes group, diabetes was induced by
subcutaneous injections of streptozotocin at dose of 40 mg/kg for two days as a single
daily dose.
Diabetes+Melatonin
group was consist of the animals that treated with 50 mg/kg melatonin by
intraperitoneally to streptozotocin
induced diabetic during 8 weeks. In
diabetic rats, the platelet count and fibrinogen level significantly increased
compared to control group (p<0.05), whereas melatonin application to the diabetic rats
caused to decrease in fibrinogen level when compared to diabetic rats (p<0.05). Activated Partial Tromboplastin Time (APTT),
Prothrombin Time (PT) and International
Normalized Ratio (INR) levels significantly shortened in the experimentally diabetes group
compared to the control group (p<0.05). PT and INR significantly prolonged in diabetic rats
with the melatonin treatment compared to diabetic rats (p<0.05). In conclusion, the obtained data indicated that
administration of melatonin partly ameliorated procoagulant state caused by
diabetes in rats.

Streptozotosin ile Diyabet Oluşturulan Ratlarda Melatonin Uygulamasının Bazı Koagulasyon Parametreleri Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı
streptozotosin ile diyabet oluşturulan ratlarda hemostatik parametreler üzerine
melatoninin muhtemel koruyucu etkilerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla 32
yetişkin erkek sağlıklı Wistar Abino rat dört gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubuna
herhangi bir uygulama yapılmadı. Melatonin grubuna 8 hafta boyunca
intraperitoneal olarak 50 mg/kg melatonin uygulandı. Diyabet grubunda 40 mg/kg
streptozotosinin günlük tek doz olmak üzere iki gün subkutan enjeksiyonuyla
diyabet oluşturuldu. Diyabet+Melatonin grubuna streptozotosin uygulanarak
diyabet oluşturulduktan sonra 8 hafta boyunca intraperitoneal olarak 50 mg/kg
melatonin enjekte edildi. Diyabetik ratlarda platelet sayısı ve fibrinojen
seviyesi kontrol grubuna göre önemli oranda artarken (p<0.05), diyabetik ratlara melatonin uygulaması
diyabet grubuna göre fibrinojen düzeyinde azalmaya neden oldu (p<0.05). Deneysel diyabet
grubundaki APTT, PT ve INR düzeyleri kontrol grubuna göre
önemli bir şekilde azaldı (p<0.05).
Diyabetik ratlara
intraperitoneal olarak melatonin uygulaması ile PT ve INR düzeyleri diyabetik
ratlara göre önemli bir şekilde uzadı (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmadan
elde edilen veriler melatonin uygulamasının ratlarda diyabetten kaynaklanan
prokoagulan durumu kısmen düzelttiğini göstermektedir.
