چکیده

background: the present study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effects of royal jelly (rj) on oxymetholone (oxm)-induced oxidative liver injuries in mice. methods: in total, 32 adult male nmri mice were divided into four groups of eight mice each. mice in groups 1 and 2 were orally administered 5 mg/kg/day oxm for 30 days. at the same time, mice in group 3 received rj at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day. saline control and rj control groups were also included in this study. results: administration of 5 mg/kg oxm resulted in a significant decrease in total antioxidant capacity and catalase activity, as well as a significant increase in malondialdehyde (p<0.05). in addition, oxm-administrated mice showed a slight increase in liver enzymes, including alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, and alkaline phosphatase. although oxm caused histopathological changes in the liver, rj could significantly improve all of the above-mentioned parameters at a dose of 100 mg/kg. conclusion: the results of the present study indicated that rj has a partially protective effect on oxm-induced liver toxicity in mice.

Protective Role of Royal Jelly in Oxymetholone-induced Oxidative Injury in Mouse Testis

Background: An adverse effect of oxymetholone (OXM), an anabolic-androgenic steroid used as energetic medicine, is reproductive toxicity. Royal jelly (RJ) is an efficient antioxidant that has been used to treat reproductive problems. In this study, we investigated the effects of RJ on OXM-induced oxidative injuries in mouse testes. Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Two group...
