La curcumina mitiga el estrés oxidativo y la hepatotoxicidad inducidos por el glutamato monosódico mediante la alteración de la expresión del gen Nrf2 en ratas albinas Wistar

Resumen


El glutamato monosódico (GMS) es la sal sódica del ácido glutámico, comúnmente utilizado como potenciador del sabor. A pesar de su capacidad para estimular el gusto y aumentar el apetito, los informes indican que el GMS es tóxico para humanos y animales de experimentación. Se ha demostrado que la exposición crónica al GMS en dosis bajas induce estrés oxidativo, por lo que es fundamental encontrar un agente hepatoprotector eficaz. Este estudio evalúa los efectos hepatoprotectores y antioxidantes de la curcumina (CUR) contra el estrés oxidativo inducido por el GMS en ratas. Las ratas del grupo I recibieron carboximetilcelulosa (CMC) al 0,7 % por vía oral y sirvieron como control. Las ratas del grupo II recibieron GMS (4 mg/kg de peso corporal por vía oral). Los grupos III y IV recibieron GMS seguido de CUR y silimarina (SIL), ambas a 100 mg/kg de peso corporal por vía oral, respectivamente. Los grupos V y VI se trataron solo con CUR y SIL. Todos los tratamientos se administraron durante 60 días. Las enzimas marcadoras de hepatotoxicidad AST, ALT y ALP se estimaron en suero y tejido hepático. Los indicadores de estrés oxidativo (LPO, SOD, CAT, GSH, GPX, GR, GST), ATPasa unida a membrana (Na2+ATPasa, Mg2+ATPasa y Ca2+ATPasa) e histopatología se evaluaron en tejido hepático. Se utilizaron transferencia Western e inmunocitoquímica para determinar los niveles de expresión del factor nuclear eritroide 2 relacionado con el factor (Nrf2). Los resultados revelaron que las alteraciones significativas en todos los marcadores de hepatotoxicidad, estrés oxidativo, enzimas unidas a membrana y expresión del gen Nrf2 causadas por dosis bajas de MSG en exposición crónica se mitigaron eficazmente mediante el tratamiento con CUR, lo que indica sus propiedades hepatoprotectoras y antioxidantes.
