- W4224210791 abstract "Fluoxetine is one of the most widely prescribed anti-depressant drugs belonging to the category of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Long-term fluoxetine treatment results in hepatotoxicity. Baicalin, a natural compound obtained from the Chinese herb Scutellaria baicalensis is known to have antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the beneficial effects of baicalin against fluoxetine-induced hepatic damage have not previously been reported.To evaluate the protective action of baicalin in fluoxetine-induced liver toxicity and inflammation.Male albino Wistar rats were divided into seven groups. Group 1 was the normal control. Oral fluoxetine was administered at 10 mg/kg body weight to groups 2, 3, 4 and 5. In addition, groups 3 and 4 were also co-administered oral baicalin (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively) while group 5 received silymarin (100 mg/kg), a standard hepatoprotective compound for comparison. Groups 6 and 7 were used as a positive control for baicalin (100 mg/kg) and silymarin (100 mg/kg), respectively. All treatments were carried out for 28 d. After sacrifice of the rats, biomarkers of oxidative stress [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA)], and liver injury [alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein, albumin, bilirubin] were studied in serum and tissue using standard protocols and diagnostic kits. Inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and interferon (IFN)-γ] in serum were evaluated using ELISA-based kits. The effect of baicalin on liver was also analyzed by histopathological examination of tissue sections.Fluoxetine-treated rats showed elevated levels of the serum liver function markers (total bilirubin, ALT, AST, and ALP) and inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ), with a decline in total protein and albumin levels. Biochemical markers of oxidative stress such as SOD, CAT, GST, GSH, MDA and AOPP in the liver tissue homogenate were also altered indicating a surge in reactive oxygen species leading to oxidative damage. Histological examination of liver tissue also showed degeneration of hepatocytes. Concurrent administration of baicalin (50 and 100 mg/kg) restored the biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation and hepatic damage in serum as well as in liver tissues to near normal levels.These findings suggested that long-term treatment with fluoxetine leads to oxidative stress via the formation of free radicals that consequently cause inflammation and liver damage. Concurrent treatment with baicalin alleviated fluoxetine-induced hepatotoxicity and liver injury by regulating oxidative stress and inflammation." @default.
