We investigated the effects of the chronic administration of hesperetin on the activation of the antioxidant defence system in mice in which oxidative stress had been induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Mice were divided randomly into three treatment groups. Hesperetin was administered orally to two of the three groups at 10 and 50 mg/kg body weight for 5 weeks. Subsequently, each group was subdivided randomly into DMBA-treated and untreated groups. The DMBA-treated groups were intragastrically administered a dose of 34 mg/kg BW in corn oil vehicle twice a week for 2 weeks. The TBARS value showed a tendency to decrease following hesperetin treatment; these decreases were significantly greater in the DMBA-treated than the untreated groups. Hesperetin significantly decreased the carbonyl content at the high dose in both DMBA-treated and untreated mice. Catalase and SOD activity were increased by hesperetin; this increase was more pronounced in DMBA-treated than untreated mice. Catalase, Mn-SOD, and CuZn-SOD expression analyses supported these results. Although the GSH-px and GR activity were little affected, hesperetin treatment significantly increased the GSH/GSSG ratio in the DMBA-treated group in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that hesperetin shows antioxidant activity and plays a protective role against DMBA-induced oxidative stress.
