| Abstract | The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the quercetin (Q) and chrysin (CH) on oxidative stress, cytokines levels and body weights in rats induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Rats were divided randomly into six equal groups. TCDD, Q and CH were administered by gavages dissolved in corn oil at the doses of 2 µg/kg/week, 20 mg/kg/day and 50 mg/kg/day, respectively. The blood samples were taken from all rats at 60th days to be analyzed for the determination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF- ) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). The results indicated that although TCDD increased significantly TBARS and TNF- levels, it caused a decline in the levels of IFN-γ and body weight. In contrast, these effects of TCDD on TBARS, TNF- , IFN-γ levels and body weight were significantly prevented by treatments of Q and CH. In conclusion, it was determined that TCDD caused the adverse effects on immune functions, body weight and oxidative stress in rats. However, Q and CH administered with TCDD eliminated these adverse effects. These results suggest that Q and CH may play a protective role against TCDD toxicity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
