Abstract:

Introduction: Our aim was to determine the efficacy of trimetazidine on experimental sepsis rat model.
Material and methods: Sixty rats were randomized into three groups. In Group 1, sepsis was induced. In Group 2, sepsis was induced and as a therapeutic agent trimetazidine was given. In Group 3, rats were sham operated. Serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß), tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathion peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined in all groups.
Results:

In Group 2, serum GSH-Px and SOD levels were statistically significantly higher than in Group 1 (p< 0.05) and serum MDA levels were statistically significantly lower than in group 1 (p < 0.05).

Trimetazidine also significantly decreased the levels of IL-1ß and TNF-a which are the proinflammatory cytokines (p < 0.05).


Conclusion: Trimetazidine treatment significantly improved inflammation, oxidative stress and membrane destruction in LPS-induced sepsis. As the proinflammatory cytokines are supposed to play a primary role in the pathogenesis of sepsis, we assumed that the trimetazidine treatment would give new insights into the treatment of sepsis (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref. 29).



Keywords: sepsis, trimetazidine, inflammation, proinflammatory cytokines.
