| Summary: | In this study, it was
aimed to determine the effects of melatonin application on lipid profile in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Animals in control group were not any
treatment. Melatonin group animals received 50 mg/kg melatonin
intraperitoneally in daily for eight weeks. Diabetes was induced by
subcutaneous injections of streptozotocin at dose of 40 mg/kg for two days as a
single dose per day in diabetes group animals. Animals in Diabetes+Melatonin
group were made diabetic by streptozotocin
in the same way and then these animals received 50 mg/kg melatonin
intraperitoneally in daily for eight weeks. In blood samples taken from all animals, TNF-α,
triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL were determined. In diabetes
group, TNF-α level were high (p lt;0.05). The changes in TNF-α level with
melatonin application to diabetic rats were important (p lt;0.05). In diabetic
rats, triglyceride and LDL levels were found to be enhanced compared to control
group (p lt;0.05), HDL level was significantly low (p lt;0.05), while the
change in total cholesterol level was not important. With the melatonin
application to diabetic rats, HDL level was found to be higher (p lt;0.05) and
LDL level was lower than diabetes group (p lt;0.05). It was concluded that the
administration of melatonin to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats may have positive effects on lipid profile. |
