Özet
ObjectiveNicotine, a well-known neurotoxin, induces oxidative stress in fetal tissues, leading to organ damage and fetal growth retardation. This study aims to evaluate oxidative stress parameters in the brain tissue of rat offspring exposed to perinatal nicotine and assess vitamin E's protective effects.MethodsTwenty-five pregnant rats were administered 10 mg/L of nicotine and 300 mg/L of Vitamin E in drinking water starting from the first day of gestation. On gestational day 21, some offspring were euthanized to form the prenatal group. The remaining litters were born naturally, and dams received treatments via drinking water during gestation and lactation (6 weeks). After the lactation period, the pups were weaned and directly treated for an additional 9 weeks, resulting in an overall treatment duration of 15 weeks. Brain tissues were analyzed for MDA, GSH, TOS, TAS, OSI, BDNF, Caspase-3 activity, and …
