dc.description.abstract | THE PROTECTIVE AND IMPROVEMENT EFFECTS OF MELATONIN IN THE EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF CONTRAST NEPHROPATHY SUMMARY Four groups each consisting of six Sprague-Dawley type adult male rats were used to do research on the effects of melatonin in the protection and improvement of contrast nephropathy. In group I melatonin was applied before and after the contrast medium, in group II melatonin was applied only before the contrast medium. The group III was prepared as a control group which contrast medium given, group IV was prepared as a control group which contrast medium not given. Melatonin 10mg/kg was applied intraperitoneally and contrast medium (Iomeprol 10mg/kg) was applied intravenously. All of the rats were left waterless for 24 hours, than they were applied 10mg/kg furosemide intramuscularly and 10mg/kg indomethasin intraperitoneally to increase the frequency of contrast nephropathy. Basal and control levels of serum creatinin, creatinin clearance, urine volume, fractione sodium excreation, alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase and gamma glutamyl- transferase were evaluated. There was, no significant difference between the levels of creatinin and creatinin clearance and also between the urine volume levels in group I and IV. In group II, a increase in serum creatinin, which does not reach a statistical significence level; a decrease in creatinin clearance; and an increase in the volume of urine were observed. An increase in serum creatinin (0,333±0,052 vs 2,33±3.02; p=0,042); a decrease in creatinin clearance (2,70±0,462 vs 1,28±1,02; p=0,046), an increase in the volume of urine (10,00±1,79 vs 15,67±6,06; p=0,046) were observed in group III. Although a decrease depending on 44dehydratation and furosemide was observed during the excreation of sodium in groups I (0,138±0,085 vs 0,057±0,042; p=0,043) and IV (0,160±0,097 vs 0,061±0,049; p=0,043), an increase was observed in group II (0,108±0,104 vs 0,202±0,262; p=0,893) and III (0,146±0,051 vs 0,373±0,477; p=0,917) due to the development the tubuler dysfunction.
