Study of Vitis vinifera L. seed's hydroethanolic extract on blood parameters in male rats induced with cyclophosphamide

Cyclofosfamide has damage effect on bone marrow and changes blood parameters. The seed of Vitis vinifera L. has anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the Vitis vinifera' seed extract (VSE) on blood parameters in male rat treated by cyclofosfamide.
Methods and Material: 42 adult male Wistar rats (220±20 gr) were devided into 6 groups (n=7) randomly. The control group (0.5 ml normal saline- daily, i.p), witness group (15 mg/kg cyclophosphamide, i.p), positive control group (200mg/kg VSE, i.p), treated groups1,2 & 3 (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg & 400 mg/kg VSE + 15 mg/kg cyclophosphamide daily, i.p, for 10 days). At the end of examinations, the animals were anesthetized with ethyl ether and blood samples were collected from heart directly. The blood parameters such as RBC, WBC, PL, HB and Hct were analysed.

The blood cells and platelets were decreased in witness group comparing with control group significantly (p<0.001). The RBC, WBC, PL and hemoglobin significantly increased in positive control group compare to cyclophosphamide treated group (p<0.001). In treated groups with cyclophosphamide + VSE the blood cells and PL increased significantly compared with witness group (p<0.01).

The use of VSE has protective effects on blood parameters in rats induced with cyclophosphamide.
