Protective effect of magnetic water against AlCl3-induced hepatotoxicity in rats
2024
Overview
This study aimed to examine whether or not aluminum chloride (AlCl
3
)-induced hepatotoxicity might be mitigated using magnetic water (MW) in rats. This study involved 28 adult male rats randomly assigned into the following 4 groups (7 rats/group): normal control (Cnt), MW, AlCl
3
, and Al Cl
3
+ MW. The Cnt group orally received normal saline, the MW group drank MW ad libitum for 2 months, and the AlCl
3
and AlCl
3
+ MW groups were orally administered AlCl
3
(40 mg/kg b.w.) alone or in combination with MW for 2 months, respectively. MW reduced AlCl
3
toxicity as proved at functional, molecular, and structural levels. Functionally, MW reduced serum levels of liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT), while increased total proteins, and albumin. MW also restored redox balance in the liver (lower MDA levels, higher activities of CAT and SOD enzymes, and upregulated expression of
NrF2
,
HO-1
, and
GST
genes. Molecularly, MW downregulated hepatic expression of the epigenetic (
HDAC3
), inflammatory (
IL1β
,
TNFα
,
NFκβ
), and endoplasmic reticulum stress (
XBP1
,
BIP
,
CHOP
) genes. Structurally, MW enhanced liver histology. With these results, we could conclude that MW has the potential to ameliorate the hepatotoxic effects of AlCl
3
through targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, epigenesis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
