Abstract EN
The potential effect of camel milk (CM) against gentamicin (GM) induced biochemical changes in the rat serum was evaluated.
Four groups of six albino rats were used for control, CM fed, injected with GM(i.p.), and then fed and injected with GM.
The results showed that the administration of GM significantly altered the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in rat serum.
CM restored these parameters to almost their normal range in group IV.
Additionally, the present study showed that injection of rats with gentamicin caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity while the antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione s-transferase (GST) activity decreased significantly ( P ≤ 0.05 ).
Administration of CM significantly ( P ≤ 0.05 ) inhibited the formation of MDA and activity of MPO and upregulated the antioxidant enzymes (SOD and GST) activity.
The overall findings of this study demonstrated that pretreatment with CM gave protection against GM induced hepatic damage possibly by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation, and hence camel milk can be identified as a new therapeutic agent.
