| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of the current research was to evaluate the
effect of alcoholic extract of Tarantula cubensis on serum
thiobarbituric acid-reactive species concentrations in sheep.
Furthermore, it's effect on the hematological and biochemical
values were determined.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Six Akkaraman sheep were administered
single dose (6 mL/sheep, SC) of alcoholic extract of
Tarantula cubensis. Blood samples were obtained before (0
hour, control) and 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after administration.
Serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive species concentrations
were measured by ELISA reader. The concentrations
of biochemical and hemogram values were measured by autoanalyzer
and blood cell counter, respectively.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Alcoholic extract of Tarantula cubensis dramatically
decreased on serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive species concentrations
in sheep but no statistically significant. In addition,
it had no any negative effect on the hematological and
biochemical values.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> It is stated that alcoholic extract of Tarantula
cubensis may cause antioxidant effect and it may be accepted
safe in sheep when evaluation of short time duration was
considered. |
