Alpha Lipoic Acid Inhibits Expression of Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus Rat Models

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an accelerated atherosclerotic macrovascular disease affecting medium-sized arteries. Several evidences support the role of oxidative stress in atherogenesis. However, the role of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) to prevent atherosclerosis is still debatable. This study was conducted to determine the effect of 60 mg/kg/day ALA for 21 days toward the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in rat model.METHODS: Eighteen male rats were divided into th… Show more

“…The emergence of diabetes was marked by persistent hyperglycemia (17,18), and then HFD was continued for 4 weeks. After that, blood samples were drawn from each rat after 10-hour fasting (19,20), and blood glucose was tested using a digital blood glucometer to verify the condition of DM. Rats were diagnosed with DM when their blood glucose levels reached 200 mg/dL (normal range: 50-135 mg/dL).…”

“…The expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 aortic tissues were assessed in terms of area percentage and intensity using Adobe Photoshop CS3 software. The percentage of the area shows the extent of expression, and the intensity describes the concentration (17).…”

“…Total cholesterol levels in animal serum were measured using a spectrophotometer with the C H O D -PA P ( C h o l e s t e r o l O x i d a s e P e r o x i d a s e Aminoantypirin -) method, while serum triglyceride levels were measured using a spectrophotometer with the GPO-PAP (glycerol phosphatase oxidase−phenol4-amino antipyrene peroxidase) method. Histopathological examination of the abdominal aorta was done using hematoxylin-eosin staining by scoring: 0 (unimpaired); 1 (macrophages, foam cells); 2 (smooth muscle proliferation, medial lipid infiltration, and fibrosis/calcification); 3 (surface defects: fissure/ulceration/hematoma/ thrombus) (9,16). The assessments were carried out by an anatomic pathologist with a light microscope on nine field of view with a 400x magnification.…”

“…The assessments were carried out by an anatomic pathologist with a light microscope on nine field of view with a 400x magnification. Scores of each microscopic slide were summed and averaged (16). To compare the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and abdominal aortic histopathology between groups, the ANOVA statistical test was performed and continued with post-hoc test with a significance level of p <0.05.…”
