Özet

The antioxidant potential of pomegranate is attributed to its polyphenols, including punicalagin. In this study, we searched the effects of punicalagin on 70% partially hepatectomized rats. Animals were subjected to partial hepatectomy (PH), immediately after receiving 15 mg/kg punicalagin. They were dissected at different time points (3 h, 6 h) following surgery. NF-kappaB (NF kappa B), caspase-3 gene expression results were evaluated by RT-PCR and protein expression fold changes were evaluated according to the qPCR method. Apoptotic index results were compared between groups.
