Histopathologic examination of rat liver after experimental application of fluoxetine

Amaç: Deneysel olarak fluoksetin verilmesinden sonra karaciğerdeki histopatolojik değişiklikleri araştırmak. Gereç ve yöntem: Sprague-Dawley cinsinden 19 dişi ve 24 erkek rata 3 hafta süresince verilen fluoksetinin etkileri incelendi. Ratlar rastgele 5 gruba ayrıldı. Grup A’dan D’ye kadar her grupta sırasıyla 10, 10, 10, 7 rat vardı. Her gruba farklı test uygulandı ve 6 rat normal kontrol grubu olarak kullanıldı (N). A, B, C, D gruplarına sırasıyla intraperitoneal enjeksiyon yoluyla 5 mg/kg, 7,5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg fluoksetin verildi. Deneyden 3 hafta sonra karaciğer örnekleri histopatolojik inceleme için anestezi altında alındı. Karaciğer dokuları %10’luk buffer formalinde tespit ettikten sonra parafine gömüldü. Histopatolojik değişiklikler H+E boyalı kesitlerde değerlendirildi. Sonuç: Fluoksetin verildikten sonra karaciğerdeki başlıca histopatolojik değişiklikler hidropik dejenerasyon, karyomegali, yağlanma, lobular inflamasyon, fokal nekroz, apopitoz, ayrışma, çift hücre kordonları, kolestaz, portal alanda inflamasyon, Kupffer hücrelerinde hiperplazi ve çift nukleusdu (p

Objective: To investigate the histopathological changes in the liver after experimental application of fluoxetine. Materials and methods: Nineteen male and 24 female rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were used to study the effect of administration of fluoxetine over a period of 3 weeks. The rats were randomly divided into five groups. Groups A to group D, each consisting of 10,10, 10, 7 rats respectively, were for different tests, while 6 rats were used as normal controls (N). For group A,B,C,D fluoxetine was administered via intraperitoneal enjection at a dosage of 5 mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, respectively. The experiment lasted 3 weeks. Hepatic tissue samples were extracted under anesthesia for histopathologic study. Liver tissues were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Histopathologic changes were evaluated on the H&E stained sections. Results: The major histopathological changes in the liver after fluoxetine are hydropic degeneration, karyomegaly, steatosis, lobuler inflammation, focal necrosis, apoptosis, disruption, twinning cell plates, cholestasis, portal area inflammation, Kupffer cell hyperplasia and double nucleus (P
