Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To study the effects of gentamicin in combination with ascorbic acid on septic arthritis, mice were infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and treated with gentamicin, which was given at 5mg/kg after 24hr of infection, followed by ascorbic acid, given at 20mg/kg body weight after 2 hours of gentamicin treatment. Mice were sacrificed at 3, 9, 15 days post infection (dpi). Combined treatment of infected mice with gentamicin and ascorbic acid eradicated the bacteria from the blood, spleen and synovial tissue and showed a significant gross reduction in arthritis, reduced serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ). S. aureus infected mice have demonstrated the disturbed antioxidant status measured in terms of cellular anti-oxidants like reduced glutathione and anti-oxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase. The same were ameliorated when the animals were co-treated with Gentamicin along with ascorbic acid. |
