Induction of omega 6 inflammatory pathway by sodium metabisulfite in rat liver and its attenuation by ghrelin

Abstract: BackgroundSodium metabisulfite is commonly used as preservative in foods but can oxidize to sulfite radicals initiating molecular oxidation. Ghrelin is a peptide hormone primarily produced in the stomach and has anti-inflammatory effects in many organs. This study aimed to assess endogenous omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in rat peripheral organs following sodium metabisulfite treatment and determine the possible effect of ghrelin on changes in n-6 inflammatory pathway.Metho… Show more

“…Notably, ghrelin exhibited protective effects on Caco-2 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, consistent with the protective effects of ghrelin reported in a previous study ( Ercan et al, 2015 ). However, ghrelin had no significant effects on Caco-2 cell apoptosis at both dosage of 0.01 μmol/L and a higher dose of 10 μmol/L.…”

“…Ghrelin also causes an anti-inflammatory action through modulation of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) inflammatory pathways in liver tissue. In sodium metabisulfite-treated rats, ghrelin treatment reduced n-6 PUFA, COX, and PGE2 levels in the liver [ 180 ].…”

“…This serves to decelerate the growth of bacteria, mould, and yeasts (Ercan et al, 2015[10]). Once ingested, these salts react with water, leading to formation of bisulfite, sulfite, and sulfur dioxide.…”

“…Sulfite salts including sodium metabisulfite (Na-MBS) are often used as disinfectants, antioxidants as well as preservative compounds in food such as pastries, cheese, beverages, meat, fruit, sausages, sweets, and fish (Elmas et al, 2005[ 9 ]). This serves to decelerate the growth of bacteria, mould, and yeasts (Ercan et al, 2015[ 10 ]). Once ingested, these salts react with water, leading to formation of bisulfite, sulfite, and sulfur dioxide.…”
