Abstract and Figures
The present study was designed to determine the possible protective effects of the olive oil (7 g/kg) with fig (1 g/kg) and date-palm fruit (1 g/kg) extracts (OFD) against the toxicity hazards of doxorubicin (DOX) which was used as chemotherapy of cancer and/or γ-radiation which was used as radiotherapy of cancer. The DOX-treated groups were injected with doses of 2.5 mg/kg, i.v., weekly for 4 consecutive weeks (10 mg/kg cumulative doses). Rats of irradiated groups were exposed to whole-body γ-radiation with fractioned doses of 2 Gy weekly for 4 consecutive weeks (8 Gy cumulative doses). The OFD-treated groups were received two weeks pretreatment with OFD and during the experimental period, daily via oral gavages. The DOX-treated and/or irradiated groups recorded depletion of the antioxidant parameters (reduced glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO)) as well as increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Also, we observed alterations of lipid profile parameters (triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)), lipid risk ratios and hematological values (erythrocyte (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, hematocrit (Hct) percentage, platelet count, total and differential leukocyte (WBC) count) in these groups as compared with control rats. Administration of OFD to DOX-treated and/or irradiated rats significantly ameliorated the oxidative stress markers, lipid profile, risk ratios and the hematological parameters. In conclusion, olive oil with fig and date-palm fruit extracts together could be used synergistically to decrease the bad side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Keywords: Olive oil; fig fruit extract; date-palm fruit extract; doxorubicin; γ-radiation; oxidative stress; lipid profile; hematological parameters.
