Abstract:
:This study aims to determine whether quercetin elicits a protective effect against the toxicity of chronic exposure to low-level DDVP using metabonomic technology. Rats were randomly assigned into the control, DDVP-treated, quercetin-treated, and quercetin plus DDVP-treated groups. DDVP and quercetin were given to rats daily via drinking water and gavage respectively for 90 days. Eighteen metabolites, including the biomarkers of DDVP exposure (dimethyl phosphate, DMP) and quercetin exposure (quercetin and isorhamnetina), were identified from the metabonomic profiles of rat urine using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Compared with the control group, the DDVP-treated group showed statistically significantly increased intensities of indoxyl sulfate, estrone sulfate, cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, p-cresol, p-cresol sulfate, and orotic acid but decreased intensities of suberic acid, citric acid, sebacic acid, hippuric acid, taurine, phosphocreatine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, and kynurenic acid. The tendency of the aforesaid metabolites to change was significantly ameliorated in the quercetin (50mg/kg·bw) plus DDVP (7.2mg/kg·bw)-treated group compared with the DDVP-treated group. However, the levels of these metabolites in the quercetin plus DDVP-treated groups were still significantly different from those of the control group. These results indicate that quercetin has a partial protective effect on DDVP-induced toxicity.
