High dose gabapentin does not alter tumor growth in mice but reduces arginase activity and increases superoxide dismutase, IL-6 and MCP-1 levels in Ehrlich ascites

Abstract: ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of gabapentin on Ehrlich tumor growth in Swiss mice, a highly aggressive and inflammatory tumor model. Mice were grouped into sets of 5 animals and treated from days 2 to 8 with gabapentin 30 mg/kg body weight (G30) or 100 mg/kg body weight (G100), or normal sterile saline (control).ResultsThe mice were euthanized on day 10. Tumor growth, tumoricidal agents and inflammatory cytokines levels were assessed. At day 10, G30 and G100 mice gained weight,… Show more

“…GBP effectively prevents oxidative stress in various animal models [ 41 , 48 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 61 ]. Oxidative stress is associated with gliosis and neuronal damage that leads to apoptosis [ 90 ].…”

“…Hence, restoring mitochondrial homeostasis seems to be an encouraging strategy in protecting against seizure-induced oxidative stress [ 91 ]. It should be emphasized that, in most studies confirming the antioxidative activity of GBP, this drug was administered in doses up to 100 mg/kg [ 41 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 61 ].…”
