| Rutin is a citrus flavonoid that exists in different types of food, such as fruits, tea, as well as vegetables, and is considered a natural antioxidant. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic role of Rutin in oxidative stress-induced in Wistar rats exposed to Ciprofloxacin (CPX). The study included 36 healthy adult Wistar rats, which were randomly divided into six groups (n=6). The control group (C) received normal drinking water for 20 days. The first treatment group (T1) received Rutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days. The second treatment group (T2) received CPX antibiotic at a dose of 14 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days. The third treatment group (T3) received Rutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days, and afterward, they received CPX antibiotic at a dose of 14 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days. The fourth treatment group (T4) received CPX antibiotic at a dose of 14 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days, and then, they received Rutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg of b.w for 20 days. The fifth treatment group (T5) received CPX antibiotic at a dose of 14 mg/ kg of b.w and Rutin at a dose of 50 mg/ kg of b.w together for 20 days. All the treatments were administrated by oral gavage. Analysis of the recorded data showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in the concentration of Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) in the T2 group, compared to the other groups. The MDA level significantly (P<0.05) increased in the T3 group (2.29±0.04), compared to the C (1.71±0.01), T1 (1.54±0.04), T4 (1.18±0.02), and T5 (1.29±0.03) groups. However, there were no significant differences (P<0.05) between the C (1.71±0.01) and T1 (1.54±0.04) groups, as well as the T4 (1.18±0.02) and T5 (1.29±0.03) groups with regards to the MDA. The results clarified a significant increase (P<0.05) in the antioxidant activity, Glutathione (GSH), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Catalase (CAT) contents in the T1 group, determined at 5.91±0.26, 5.78±0.02, and 1.98±0.05, respectively, compared to the other groups. The lowest antioxidant activity, GSH, SOD, and CAT contents were recorded in the T2 group, in comparison with the other groups (P<0.05). The findings revealed that the level of SOD, GSH, and CAT in the T4 and T5 groups significantly (P<0.05) increased, compared to the T2 and T3 groups. Histological examination of the slides obtained from the brain demonstrated that in the T2 group, some histopathological changes were observed, compared to the C, T1, T4, and T5 groups. These changes were as follows: 1) damaged and clear blood vessel congestion with the deposition of fibrous networks, 2) brain edema, 3) multiple necrotic foci, 4) accumulation of neutrophils, and 5) simple histopathological changes in the brain of animals in the T2 group, compared to the other groups. It is, therefore, concluded that Rutin supplementation at a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w can be the most appropriate dose in protecting brain tissue against tissue damages caused by CPX. |
