Abstract |
As an inflammatory disease, pre-eclampsia is correlated with elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and maternal endothelial dysfunction. Aspirin plays an important role in the prevention and therapy of pre-eclampsia. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid which has anti-oxidant and reno-protective abilities. We aimed to figure out the effects of quercetin supplement to aspirin on the therapy against pre-eclampsia. Female pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups according to the drug treatment. Aspirin [1.5 mg/kg body weight (BW)] or quercetin (2 mg/kg BW) treatment was administered from gestational day (GD) 4 to GD19. Rat model of pre-eclampsia was induced by NG-nitro-Larginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME). In pre-eclampsia rats induced by L-NAME, systolic blood pressures (SBP), proteinuria, malonyldialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory cytokines levels were decreased by the treatment of quercetin supplement to aspirin. In the uterus, quercetin supplement to aspirin prevented the expression of VEGF and sFlt-1 mRNA. The treatment of quercetin supplement to aspirin rescued the declined survival rate and weight of pups caused by L-NAME-induced pre-eclampsia. Based on our study, compared with the treatment of aspirin alone, quercetin supplement to aspirin enhanced the therapeutic effects of aspirin on pre-eclampsia rats induced by L-NAME.
