The Effects of Oxytocin and Oxytocin Receptor Antagonist Atosiban on the Carbonic Anhydrase and Acetylcholinesterase Enzymes from Lung Tissues of Rats
Abstract
The purpose of our studies is to assist in fully understanding the role of oxytocin in the live metabolism by examining the effects of oxytocin, oxytocin receptor antagonist atosiban, and oxytocin-atosiban chemicals injected to the rats on activities of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes in the lung tissue of the rats. For this purpose, 4 different groups each of which contains 6 rats formed. (Control group, oxytocin administered group, atosiban administered group, and both oxytocin and atosiban administered group). The rats were necropsied after an hour from the injection of chemicals into the rats intraperitoneally. The lung tissues of the rats were extracted. Carbonic anhydrase and acetylcholinesterase enzymes activities were measured for the tissues. All the experimental results were provided as mean ± SD (mean standard deviation). Because of the data was compatible with the normal range, it was tested via variance analysis (ANOVA) and then, significance was determined by the Tukey test. Statistical significance was identified to be p <0.05.
Accordingly, it was observed that there was neither a decrease of enzyme activities in oxytocin and atosiban administered groups, nor a significant change of enzyme activities in both oxytocin and atosiban administered group. Also, we observed that oxytocin reduced carbonic anhydrase enzyme activity as a systemic effect. We think that this result may contribute to remedy of lung related diseases progressing with oxygen and carbon dioxide transport disorders.
