Abstract

Background: Prenatal RAT embryo exposure to retinoid induces some malformations in various organs, the most active and teratogenic metablolite is all-trans-RETINOIC ACID (atRA). The teratogenic effects of some drugs can be prevented by the application of antioxidant drugs and stimulation of the maternal immune system. Also, QUERCETIN, a naturally occurring flavonoid has excellent antioxidant properties. Therefore, in this study, the prophylactic effect of QUERCETIN on teratogenic effects of atRA was evaluated.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 40 pregnant RATs were divided into 7 groups. Control group received normal saline and test groups received dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), QUERCETIN (75 mg/kg), QUERCETIN (200 mg/kg), atRA (25 mg/kg), atRA (25 mg/kg) plus QUERCETIN (75 mg/kg) and atRA (25 mg/kg) plus QUERCETIN (200 mg/kg), intraperitoneally at 8-10th days of gestation. FETUSes were collected at 20th day of gestation and after determination of weight and length; they were stained by Alizarin red- Alcian blue method.Results: CLEFT PALATE, exencephaly and spina bifida incidence were 30.76%, 61.53% and 30.76% range in group which received only atRA. CLEFT PALATE, exencephaly and spina bifida incidence were 11.11%, 16.66% and 5.55% in group which received atRA plus QUERCETIN (75 mg/kg). However, CLEFT PALATE, exencephaly and spina bifida incidence were 10.52%, 10.52% and 0% in group which received atRA plus QUERCETIN (200 mg/kg). The means of weight and length of FETUSes from RAT that received atRA plus QUERCETIN (75 mg/kg) were significantly greater than those received only atRA.Conclusion: It is concluded that QUERCETIN decreased TERATOGENICITY induced by atRA, but this subject needs more detailed evaluation.
