This study investigated the effect of sesamol (3,4-methylenedioxyphenol) on systemic oxidative stress and hepatic function in acutely iron-intoxicated mice. Sesamol reduced the levels of lipid peroxidation, hydroxyl radical, iron production and superoxide anion generation, and xanthine oxidase activity in iron-intoxicated mice. In addition, sesamol decreased the serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, and ameliorated iron-intoxication-induced histological changes in the liver. In summary, sesamol might attenuate systemic oxidative stress by reducing xanthine oxidase and improving hepatic function in iron-intoxicated mice.

The aim of this study was to examine the prophylactic protective effects of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol (sesamol) on ferric-nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)-induced acute renal damage in mice. We induced acute renal injury in mice by treating them with 4 mg/kg of Fe-NTA for 3h. We used blood biochemistry, creatinine clearance, and histological examinations to assess renal function. With a high-performance chemiluminescence analyzer, we also determined the hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion levels (free radicals) generated. Renal xanthine oxidase activities were also assessed. Sesamol inhibited Fe-NTA-induced acute renal injury, renal lipid peroxidation, the levels of renal hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion generated, and the activity of xanthine oxidase in mice. Therefore, we concluded that sesamol protected mice against Fe-NTA-induced oxidative-stress-associated acute renal injury by at least partially inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species.
