This study evaluated the protective and ameliorative role of date palm pollen and vitamin C against bisphenol-A (BPA) induced gastric structure toxicity in rats. Control rats received only food and water. Second group administrated BPA ( 30 mg/kg b.wt. ). Third group was given DPP (100 mg/kg b.wt.).Fourth group was given Vit. C (160 mg/kg b.wt.). Fifth group was given DPP 12 hrs before administration of DPP, while the sixth group was given BPA 12 hrs before administration of BPA. The seventh group was given Vit. C 12 hrs before administration of BPA, whereas the eighth group was given BPA 12 hrs before administration of vit. C. The ninth group was given DPP combined with Vit. C 12 hrs before administration of BPA.BPA induced histopathological changes in the stomach indicated by congestion at the vasculatureand edema of the submucosal layer of the non-glandular part, and congestion of the blood vessels at the muscular layer of the glandular part. However, administration of each DPP and vitamin C before and after BPA, or combined with each other before BPA, restored the normal histological structure of the stomach. So, this study revealed that DPP and Vit. C protected and ameliorated gastric structure against BPA toxicity via their antioxidant activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
