Overview
The effect of 2’, 3, 4’- trihydroxychalcone was monitored in the experimental conditions of alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus. The animals were divided by random selection into 2 groups (n = 7). The treated group was given chalcone in doses of 10 mg/kg in Avicel, the placebo group was given only a solution of Avicel. The last group was intact. Selected laboratory parameters (glucose, urea, cholesterol, antioxidative enzymes, total antioxidative capacity, malondialdehyde in serum; diuresis, total glucose and protein losses through urine) were determined. Kidney tissue and pancreas samples were taken for histopathological analysis. The results revealed a statistically significant decrease (p ≤ 0.01) in blood glucose level, a significant increase (p ≤ 0.01) in glutathione peroxidase, total antioxidative capacity (p ≤ 0.01) and a significant decrease (p ≤ 0.01) in the malondialdehyde level in the treated group compared to the placebo group. A highly significant decrease (p ≤ 0.01) in diuresis, glucose and protein losses through ureine was identified in the treated group compared to the placebo group. The superoxide dismutase catalytic activity, urea and cholesterol levels involved non-significant changes. The results of biochemical examination show a protective antioxidative and antihyperglycemic effect of tested chalcone. The results of histopathological examination correlate with them only partially.
