Effects of alpha lipoic acid and vitamin C supplementation on transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) and transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF beta 2) secretion in testicular tissue of diabetic rats
Özet
The effects of alpha lipoic acid and vitamin C supplementation on TGF alpha and TGF beta 2 secretion in the testicular tissue of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were examined by immunohistochemical methods. Rats were divided into 5 groups; group 1 (control), 2 (diabetic control), 3 (diabetes + alpha lipoic acid), 4 (diabetes + vitamin C), and 5 (diabetes + alpha lipoic acid + vitamin C). Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed in order to examine testicular tissue histopathologically. The streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method was used for histological examination and determination of TGF alpha and TGF beta 2 localization in the testicular tissue. Regarding fasting blood glucose levels, the lowest blood glucose level was detected in group 3. Fewer pathological histopathological findings were observed in groups treated with alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, and alpha lipoic acid + vitamin C compared to the diabetes group. TGF alpha and TGF beta 2 secretions increased in groups 3, 4, and 5 compared to group 2. In conclusion, exogenous administration of alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, and alpha lipoic acid + vitamin C increased TGF alpha and TGF beta 2 secretion in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Investigation of alpha globin gene mutations by complementary methods in Antalya
Keser, İbrahim; Mercan, T.K.; Bilgen, Türker; Kupesiz, O.A.; Arikan, Y.; Canatan, D. (Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2021)Alpha (?) thalassemia is one of the hemoglobinopaties that is inherited by autosomal recessive mode. It is caused by mutations on alpha-1 and alpha-2 globin genes. Deletional type mutations of globin genes have commonly ... -
Ultrasensitive detection of interleukin 1? using 3-phosphonopropionic acid modified FTO surface as an effective platform for disposable biosensor fabrication
Aydın, Elif Burcu; Sezgintürk, Mustafa Kemal (Elsevier B.V., 2021)In this study, we utilized a carboxyalkylphosphonic acid covered fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) as an electrode material for fabrication of Interleukin 1? (IL-1?) immunosensor. For this aim, anti-IL-1? antibodies were ...
