Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic agents that lead to significant oxidative damage. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a contaminant toxic, oxidative and estrogenic effects. Purslane is a promising natural product, which could be useful for the prevention of chronic diseases caused by oxidative stress. In this study 49 adult male rats (250 10g) were divided randomly in 7 groups (n=7): Control, Sham (500 ug corn oil\Kg BW), Toxin group (500ug BPA\kg BW), Positive control (100mg purslane hydroalcoholic extract\kg BW) and 3 purslane treated groups (500ug BPA + 50,100&150 mg purslane\kg BW). All injections are done by i.p rout in 14 consequently days. At the end of administration time (14 day) all animals were anesthetized with Chloral hydrate and sacrificed, then liver samples isolated to preparing tissue homogenates for measure antioxidant enzymes including SOD, CAT, TAC, GPX and MDA. Data are analyzed in SPSS statistical software by one way ANOVA with Tukey posttest. Analyzed data showed that MDA, TAC, CAT, GSH and GPX measures are modified in purslane treated groups compared to the bisphenol A group which indicates that the portulaca oleracea extract can improve the hepatotoxicity of bisphenol A induced.
