| Abstract: OBJECTIVE: In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine and thymoquinone on erythrocyte deformability in lower limb ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty Wistar albino rats were equally divided into 5 groups (n = 6); randomized control group (Group C), diabetes control group (Group DC), DIR group (Group DIR), DIR group with thymoquinone 25 mg.kg‒1 intraperitoneally (Group DIRT) and Group DIR with dexmedetomidine 100 µg.kg‒1 intraperitoneally (Group DIRD). Erythrocyte packs were prepared from heparinized blood samples and deformability measurements were performed. RESULTS: IR significantly increased the relative resistance, a marker of erythrocyte deformability when compared to control group (p < 0.05). There were significant differences among the groups in comparisons with ANOVA test (p < 0.0001). Comparisons of the groups DIRD and DIRT revealed similar results (p = 0.824). The values of Group DIR were significantly higher than those of the control, DC, DIRD and DIRT groups (p < 0.0001, p = 0.001, p = 0.004, p = 0.002, respectively). The values of the DC, DIR, DIRD and DIRT groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.0001, all). CONCLUSION: Erythrocyte deformability may cause more problems in microcirculation. Dexmedetomidine and thymoquinone may be useful in reducing the adverse effects of this type of injury (Fig. 1, Ref. 41). |
