Abstract
Sepsis is an acute condition caused by the systemic inflammatory response syndrome to an infection. There are very few drugs that could improve the severe conditions in patients with sepsis. Hence, it is important to consider different treatment options. In this survey, we studied the effect of adenosine N1-oxide (ANO) and pioglitazone on rats with cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). They were randomly divided to four groups (n = 10) including Group A: as control group receiving normal saline, Group B: the rats with CLP as surgical control group, Group C: the rats receiving ANO, and Group D: the rats receiving pioglitazone. Interleukin (IL) -6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), nitric-oxide (NO) in serum blood and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) malondialdehyde, (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in liver and spleen homogenates were measured. The amount of antioxidant enzymes in the spleen and liver, and finally cell viability and rats’ survival were investigated. The measurement of blood serum nitric-oxide and survival of all groups of rats were also performed. The results indicated that both drugs could cause a decrease in IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and NO in rat blood serum and MDA and MPO in the liver and spleen homogenates, however, a significant increase in SOD and CAT in the liver and spleen homogenates in rats that received ANO and pioglitazone was observed compared to rats with CLP group. Cell viability and rats’ survival were significantly improved in rats that received ANO and pioglitazone compared to rats with CLP group. Adenosine N1-oxide showed stronger and more effective effects.
