Effect of date molasses on levetiracetam pharmacokinetics in healthy rats. Sci Rep 2023; 13:758. [PMID: 36641484 PMCID: PMC9840612 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-28074-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Twelve healthy eight-week-old male Wistar rats weighing 200 g were used. Rats were chosen randomly, and their tails were identified and separated into cages/groups. The first group received an oral dose of 11.5 mg of levetiracetam in 5 mL of water, and the second group was given date syrup (250 g mixed with 250 mL water) for seven days, then 11.5 mg LEV in 5 mL water on day 7. One week of preadministered date molasses significantly decreased levetiracetam pharmacokinetic parameters in rats, such as Cmax (72 vs. 14 ng/mL, p = 0.01), Tmax (1.78 vs. 0.44 h, p < 0.001), and AUC (880 vs. 258 ng.h/mL, p < 0.001). This decrease in plasma levetiracetam levels caused by date molasses could be attributed to decreased levetiracetam absorption. On the other hand, the current study discovered that rats given date molasses for a week had a reduced rate and extent of absorption. As a result, date molasses might increase the risk of epileptic seizures in oral LEV-treated ones.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2016; 172:326-335.

Abstract
Tibetan sheep have been observed with mineral deficiencies and marginal deficiencies in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Adequate amounts of essential minerals are critical to maximize the productivity and health of livestock. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of 6 months of mineral block supplementation on the antioxidants, immunity, and health of Tibetan sheep. The study was conducted in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The consumed values of mineral blocks were measured. Blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment to evaluate the trace elements, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) activities, and antioxidant enzyme activities. Additionally, levels of IgA, IgG, IgM, IL-2, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), triiodothyronine (T3), tyroxine (T4), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) were determined. The toxic effects of the mineral block were also monitored. For Tibetan sheep, the average consumed value of mineral block was 13.09 g per day per sheep. Mineral block supplementation significantly increased the serum levels of Mn, Fe, and Se (P < 0.01), decreased the level of MDA (P < 0.05), and increased GSH activity (P < 0.05). Additionally, the mineral block-treated sheep blood had greater total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activities (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) than control sheep. Moreover, the mineral block supplementation improved the levels IgA, IgM, and IGF-1 (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Additionally, there were no significant histopathological changes in the organs of Tibetan sheep after long-term treatment with the mineral block. The results demonstrated that the mineral block was non-toxic and safe; the protective effects of the mineral block might be caused by an increase in the antioxidant defense system, as well as an increase in the benefits from immunity-related parameters.
