AIM: Intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IR) causes tissue injury in two ways, starting a pro-inflammatory cascade and oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, against intestinal IR injury in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty male Wistar-Albino rats were divided into five groups: Sham, IR, IR plus ethanol (vehicle), IR plus 10 mg/kg (IR + 10CAPE), and 30 mg/kg CAPE (IR + 30CAPE) at the 30-min ischemic period. Intestines were exteriorized and the superior mesenteric artery was occluded for 45-min ischemia and then the clamp was removed for 120-min reperfusion. After the experiment, the intestines were removed for biochemical and light microscopic examinations. Additionally, blood samples were taken for plasma TNF-alpha measurement. RESULTS: The TBARS levels of the IR and IR + Ethanol groups were higher than the Sham group (P < 0.05). Both CAPE treatments decreased TBARS levels in comparison with the IR group (P < 0.05). In both CAPE-treated groups, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were increased compared to all other groups, which was similarly the case for the CAT activity compared to the Sham and IR + Ethanol groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between GSH levels of all study groups. The TNF-alpha levels of the IR and IR + Ethanol groups were non-significantly increased compared to the Sham group (P > 0.05). The TNF-alpha levels of 10 and 30 mg/kg CAPE groups were non-significantly decreased compared to the IR group (P > 0.05). The tissue MPO activities of the IR and IR + Ethanol groups were higher than the Sham group (P < 0.05). The MPO activities of the IR + 10CAPE and IR + 30CAPE groups were not significantly different from the Sham group (P > 0.05). There was necrosis of mucosa in the IR and IR + Ethanol groups in light microscopic evaluations. Those changes were significantly reversed by 30 mg/kg CAPE treatment. CONCLUSION: The intestinal IR injury may be reversed by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions of the CAPE. However, 30 mg/kg CAPE treatment may be more efficient in preventing intestinal IR injury in rats.
