Abstract

Eksojen antioksidan takviyesinin, diyabetin mikro ve makrovasküler komplikasyonlarına karşı faydalı olabileceği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada C vitamini desteğinin, diyabetik ratlarda, kronik hiperglisemiye bağlı olarak bozulan insülin sekresyonu, hiperlipidemi, oksidatif stres ve paraoksonaz-1 enzim (PON1) aktivitesi üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, yirmi dört adet Wistar albino cinsi rat C, DC ve DCC grupları olarak 3 gruba ayrıldı. DC ve DCC grubundaki ratlarda, tek doz streptozotosin enjeksiyonu ile diyabet oluşturuldu (45 mg/kg). C ve DC grubundaki ratlar standart rat yemi (C vitamini içermeyen) ile beslenirken, DCC grubundaki ratlar 200 mg/kg dozunda C vitamini ile desteklenmiş deneysel yemle beslendi. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, C grubundaki ratların sekiz haftalık deney süresinin sonunda diyabetik ratlara göre daha az yem ve su tükettiği görüldü (p <0,001). Bunun yanı sıra C grubundaki ratların toplam kolesterol ve trigliserit düzeylerinin diyabetik gruplara göre daha düşük, PON1 aktivite ve insülin değerlerinin ise daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p <0.05). Bir diğer yandan, DC ve DCC grupları arasında toplam kolesterol, trigliserid, HDL kolesterol, LDL kolesterol ve insülin düzeyleri açısından anlamlı farklılık gözlenmese de, DCC grubunun TAS ve PON1 aktivite düzeylerinin DC grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p <0.05). Sonuç olarak, diyabet varlığında, C vitamini takviyesi PON1 aktivite düzeyini ve antioksidan kapasiteyi artırmada etkili olabilir.
