Effect of virgin olive oil plus acetylsalicylic acid on brain slices damage after
hypoxia-reoxygenation in rats with type 1-like diabetes mellitus.
Aspirin is the most widely used drug for the secondary prevention of ischemic
stroke in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. Moreover virgin olive oil
(VOO) administration exerts a neuroprotective effect in healthy rat brain slices.
The aim of the present study was to determine the possible influence of VOO
administration to streptozotocin-diabetic rats (DR) on the neuroprotective effect
of aspirin in rat brain. DR were treated during 3 months with saline, aspirin
(2mg/kg/day p.o.), VOO (0.5mL/kg/day p.o.) or its association; a control
normoglycemic group was treated with saline. Brain slices were subjected to
oxygen-glucose deprivation before a reoxygenation period. All the treatments
significantly reduced lactate dehydrogenase LDH efflux after reoxygenation
(-54.1% for aspirin, -51.3% for VOO and -72.9% for aspirin plus VOO). Lipid
peroxides in brain slices were also reduced after the treatment with aspirin
(-17.90%), VOO (-37.3%) and aspirin plus VOO (-49.2%). Production of nitric oxide
after reoxygenation was inhibited by all the treatments (-46.5% for ASA, -48.2%
for VOO and -75.8% for ASA plus VOO). The activity of the inducible isoform
(iNOS) was inhibited by the three types of treatment (-31.8% for ASA, -29.1% for
VOO and -56.0% for ASA plus VOO). The main conclusion of our study is that daily
oral administration of VOO to diabetic rats may be a natural way to increase the
neuroprotective effect of aspirin in diabetic animals.
