QUERCETIN LIMITS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OXIDATIVE-NITROSATIVE STRESS IN PERIODONTAL TISSUES IN DIFFERENT MODELS SIMULATING SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE

The study was carried out to investigate the effect produced by water-soluble form of quercetin (corvitin) on the indices of the development of oxidative-nitrosative stress in periodontal soft tissues of rats subjected to systemic inflammatory response. This condition was simulated by using two models: one was induced by the Salmonella typhi lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration (in a dose of 0.4 μg / kg of body wt three times through the 1st week and once a week for the next 7 weeks), as well as on the 14th day after a moderate craniocerebral injury (CCI). Applying corvitin in a dose of 500 μg / kg (10 μg / kg recalculated as quercetin) every third day starting from the 30th day of the experiment with the use of pyrogenalum reduced the production of superoxide anion radical (.О) by NADPH-dependent electron transport chains (endoplasmic reticulum and NO-synthase) by 18.1%, but did not considerably affect the mitochondrial chain. .О production by leukocyte NADPH-oxidase was by 16.7% lower. The total NO synthase (NOS) activity in periodontal tissues decreased by 40.6%, and the content of peroxynitrite ions was inferior to the relevant result of the group received pyrogenalum by 13.9%. Administration of corvitin in a dose of 500 mg/kg for 7 days after CCI modeling reduced the (.О) production by NADPH-dependent chains by 20.9%, and by mitochondria by 31.7% on the 14th day of post-traumatic period. .О production by leukocyte NADPH-oxidase was by 35.8% lower. NOS activity in periodontal tissues decreased by 45.8%, the content of peroxynitrite ions was inferior to the relevant value in the group with modeled CCI by 25.7%. This suggests the conclusion that applying water-soluble form of quercetin in conditions of systemic inflammatory response limits the signs of oxidative-nitrosative stress in periodontal soft tissues of rats.
