ABSTRACT
Twenty four male albino rats were divided into four groups. Group 1
(control) fed on a standard diet, group 2 was administered orally clove
oil (200 mg/kg b.wt/day), group 3 fed on high fat diet (HFD) by adding
saturated palm oil to the standard diet (15 g oil /100 g diet) and group 4
was administered orally clove oil + high fat diet for 60 days.
Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), glutathione (GSH)
content and catalase activities (CAT) were estimated in cardiac and
hepatic tissues. Serum lipase, total lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, lactate
dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine kinase (CK), Insulin, homeostasis insulin resistance and
plasma glucose were determined. Also, serum free thyroxin (FT4) and free triiodothyronine
(FT3) were estimated. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and 8- hydroxyl
deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG) were measured, and histological examination of cardiac and
aortic tissues of rats were observed. The obtained results of rats fed on HFD showed a
significant increase in TBARS and significant decreases in GSH content and CAT activities
in cardiac and hepatic tissues and significant decrease in serum lipase. Significant increases
in serum total lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, LDH, CK, insulin and
homeostasis insulin resistance were recorded. Significant decreases in serum FT4 and FT3
were recorded. Significant increases in serum TNF-α and 8-OHDG were recorded. The
histological examination of cardiac and aortic tissues of rats fed on HFD showed some
degenerative cells in theses tissues. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the administration
of clove oil to rats ameliorated the hazardous effects of high-fat diet.

1- INTRODUCTION
Hyperlipidemia is the term used to denote raised serum levels of one or more of total
cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, or both total cholesterol and
triglycerides (combined hyperlipidemia).[1]
The hyperlipidemia can be either primary or
secondary to other diseases but secondary hyperlipidemia is the most common form that can
be induced as a result of endocrine disorders, pancreatitis, cholestasis, protein-losing
nephropathy, obesity and high-fat diets.[2]
The principle metabolic causes of atherosclerosis include hyperlipidemia, hypertension,
obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus.[3]
The hyperlipidemia is associated with
heart diseases which are the main cause of death.[4]
Atherosclerosis is predominantly a
chronic low-grade inflammatory disease of the vessel wall.[5]
In atherosclerosis, inflammation
starts and evolves in response to cholesterol accumulation in the arterial intima of the large
and medium arteries.[6,5]
Inflammation is reported to promote cardiovascular disease[7]
, which
can be induced by the consumption of a high-fat diet.[7,8]
Some natural compounds are used for improving the cardiovascular disturbances and may
lower the high cholesterol level without using synthetic drugs which have potential side
effects.[9]
The herbal treatment for hyperlipidemia showed no side effects and is relatively
cheap and locally available[4]
while essential oils and plant extracts of aromatic and medicinal
plants are used for such treatment.[10]
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum L.) are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family
Myrtaceae and their essential oils are available such as clove bud oil, clove stem oil and clove
leaf oil. Clove bud oil is the best quality which contains eugenol (80-90%) that makes this oil
very potent.[11]
The major constituents of the essential oil of clove are phenylpropanoids such as carvacol,
thymol, eugenol, and cinnaldehyde.[12]
The studied biological activity of clove oil showed
that it has antioxidant[13]
, metal chelation[14]
, neuroprotection[15]
, antibacterial[12]
,
gastroprotection[16]
, renal, cardioprotection[17]
and hepatoprotection properties.[18]
The present study was carried out to evaluate the possible hypolipidemic effect of clove oil
against high-fat diet that induces inflammation, oxidative stress, some biochemical and
histological disorders in male rats.

2- MATERIALS AND METHODS
2-1- Clove oil
Clove buds were purchased from local market in Egypt. Clove buds were exposed to 5KGy
as preservative tools of food by using Co 60 irradiators at Nuclear Research Centre, Egyptian
Atomic Energy Authority. Then the essential oil of clove buds was obtained by steam
distillation according to the method described in the British Pharmacopeia[19]
by using
Clevenger apparatus for determination of essential oils lighter than water. The volatile oil was
collected after 3 hrs distillation then the oil was filtered and dried over anhydrous sodium
sulfate then the percentage of the oil was calculated as follows: oil % = read of the apparatus /
weight of the herb × 100.[20]
2-2- Palm oil
Saturated palm oil without antioxidant (QC-F-8.2.4-57 Rev ≠ 0) was obtained from Arma
Company, Egypt.
2-3- Experimental animals
Twenty four male albino rats were 7-9 weeks of age weighing 100±10 g were obtained from
the animal house of Nuclear Research Centre, Egypt. The rats were housed in plastic cages in
a well-ventilated room under normal hygienic conditions with 12 hours light - dark cycle
before and during the experiment. The rats were fed on a standard diet and water ad libitum.
The study was carried out at Nuclear Research Centre, Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority.
The manuscript was approved by the scientific committee of publication, committee No.
(158) of the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority. All rats were handled in accordance with the
standard guide for the care and use of laboratory animals Published by The US National
Institutes of Health (NIH publication No85-23, 1996).
2-4- Experimental design
Rats were divided randomly into four groups each contains 6 rats.
Group 1 (control): rats fed on a standard diet.
Group 2 (clove oil): rats administered an oral dose of clove oil (200 mg/kg b.wt/day) by
gavage using a stomach tube for 60 days.
Group 3 (HFD): rats fed daily for 60 days with a high-fat diet which was prepared by adding
saturated palm oil to the standard diet (15 g oil/100 g diet).
Group 4 (clove oil + HFD): rats fed on a high fat diet and received an oral dose of clove oil
(200 mg/kg b.wt/day) by gavage using a stomach tube for 60 days.

2-5- Collection of blood
At the end of 60 days, rats were left for 12 h fasting period. Rats were anesthetized then
sacrificed and blood was collected through cardiac puncture. Blood samples were divided
into two parts; one part on sodium fluoride (to prepare plasma) and the other part on the plain
tube (to prepare serum). Blood was centrifuged to collect serum and plasma then stored
frozen at -20°C until biochemical assays.
2-6- Preparation of tissue homogenate
Heart and liver were dissected out, blotted of blood, homogenized separately in phosphate
buffer (pH 7.4) then kept at -20°C for biochemical assays.
2-7- Hormonal and biochemical analysis
Oxidative stress in heart and liver homogenates as thiobarbituric acid reactive
substance(TBARS)was determined according to method of Yoshioka et al.[21]
Glutathion (GSH)content and catalase (CAT) were determined acoording to methods of
Beutler et al[22-23]
respectively.
Plasma glucose, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatinine kinase (CK) were
determined according to methods of Tietz[24,25,26]
respectively.
Serum total lipids, phospholipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipase were determined
according to methods of Zollner and Kirsch,[27-31]
respectively.
Alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gamma- glutamyl transferase
(GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were estimated according to methods of Reitman and
Frankel[32-34]
, respectively.
Serum-free thyroxin (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and insulin were assayed by
radioimmunoassay (RIA) depending on solid phase RIA using kits obtained from
Immunotech A Beckman Coulter Company. Insulin resistance was calculated according to
the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR).[35]
Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-
α) and 8- hydroxyl deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG) were determined using enzyme linked
immune sorbent assay (ELISA), cloud, Clona Cop. USCN, life Science Inc.

2-8- Histological examination
For histological examination, pieces of heart and aorta were quickly removed then fixed in
10% neutral buffered formalin solution. The sections were stained with haematoxylin and
eosin then examined under an Olympus light microscope.
2-9- Statistical analysis
The results were presented as the mean ± SE. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA)
followed by Duncan multiple range test was applied for statistical analysis.[36]
3- RESULTS
3-1- Biochemical study
Table (1) showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in TBARS and a significant decrease
(P<0.05) in GSH content and CAT activities of cardiac and hepatic tissues respectively in
group of rats fed on HFD. However, the administration of clove oil improved these effects as
compared to the control group by decreasing TBARS, and increasing GSH content and CAT
activities in cardiac and hepatic tissues respectively. GSH content and CAT activities in
cardiac and hepatic tissues.
The results of this study revealed that rats fed on HFD showed a significant increase (P<0.05)
in serum total lipids, phospholipids, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, as well as a
significant decrease (P<0.05) in lipase as compared to control group. Significant decreases
(P<0.05) in FT3 and FT4 in rats fed on HFD were determined as compared to control group.
While rats administered clove oil + HFD showed improvement in these parameters (Table 2).
The obtained results showed significant increases (P<0.05) in AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, LDH,
and CK in rats fed on HFD as compared to control group. While rats fed on clove oil + HFD
showed improvement in these parameters (Table 3).
The results showed significant increases (P<0.05) in glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance
index (HOMA-IR) in rats fed on HFD as compared to control group. While rats administered
clove oil + HFD showed improvement in these parameters (Table 4).
Data in the table (5) showed that rats fed on HFD revealed a significant increase (P<0.05) in
TNF-α, and 8-OHDG as compared to the control group. While rats fed on clove oil +HFD
revealed significant improvement in these parameters.

3-2- Histological study
The histological changes related to clove oil + HFD were observed in cardiac (figure 1) and
aortic (figure 2) tissues. The examination of normal cardiac tissues showed normal
histological structure (fig. 1a). On the other hand, sections of cardiac tissues of rat fed on
HFD (fig. 1b) showed intermuscular hemorrhage, haemosiderosis, vacuolations in the wall of
blood vessel, perivascular edema, dilatation and necrosis of cardiac myocytes associated with
inflammatory cells and congestion of myocardial blood vessels. On the other hand, sections
of rats administered clove oil + HFD (fig. 1c) showed intermuscular hemorrhage.
The histological examination of aortic tissues revealed no histological changes in the control
group (fig. 2a). The section of the aorta of rat fed on HFD showed vacuolations and focal
necrosis of tunica media (fig. 2b) while sections of the aorta of rat administered clove oil +
HFD showed slight vacuolations of tunica media (fig. 2c).

4- DISCUSSION
Hyperlipidemia is the result of oxidative stress due to the interaction of HFD with free
radicals. The elevated level of TBARS in hepatic and cardiac tissues of rats fed on a high fat
diet is a clear manifestation of excessive formation of free radicals and activation of lipid
peroxidation. Furthermore, the increment in the levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides of
high fat diet group may be in the levels of serum cholesterol and triglycerides of
hyperlipidemic rats may be a result of lipid peroxidation induced by high- fat diet. This result
is in agreement with Shyamala et al.[37]
who reported that increases of lipid peroxidation level
are associated with increased serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels of hyperlipidemic
rats.
In HFD showed a significant decrease in GSH content and CAT activities in cardiac and
hepatic tissues this depletion was improved in rats in rats fed on clove oil + HFD. The
increase of CAT activities in rats fed on high-fat diet and administered clove oil indicated the
ability of clove oil to decrease oxidative stress induced by clove oil to stop the oxidative
damage induced by hyperlipidemia. The present results are in agreement with Said[38]
who
reported that eugenol can decrease lipid and oxidative stress as well as improving the
intracellular antioxidant defense. The previous study showed that 5 and 10 KGy irradiated
clove buds found that the dose of 5kGy increased the antioxidant activity of clove essential
oil. The antioxidant activity of clove oil can be induced due to its eugenol (77%), eugenol
acetate (15%), β-caryophyllene (2%) and farnesene (4%) which are the main constituents of
such oil.[20]
While other study showed that the essential clove oil was found to be five- fold
higher than that observed for α-tocopherol.[39]
The antioxidant compounds of commercial
clove oil are eugenol and β-caryophyllene; the dominated components that have the ability
for preventing lipid peroxidation.[40]
The present study demonstrated that HFD induced significant increases in serum total lipids,
phospholipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and a significant decrease in lipase. These results
are in agreement with Thounaojam et al.[41]
The free radicals can be the major reason for hormonal imbalance which induces
hyperlipidemia through its multiple effects on lipid metabolism including increased synthesis
of cholesterol and triglycerides.[42]
Cholesterol is derived from the exogenous diet and
endogenously from acetyl CoA in a series of biosynthesis reactions.[43]
The
hypercholesterolemia is attributed to the increased activation of 3-hydroxyl-3-methyl glutaryl
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 4, 2020.
59
Naglaa et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Co-enzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase and the key regulatory enzyme in the reduction of the
overall process of cholesterol synthesis.[44]
Administration of clove oil has been reported to
reduce increased total lipids, phospholipids, Triglycerides and total cholesterol in serum due
to the presence of the active ingredient of clove oil eugenol. The present results showed a
significant decrease in serum total lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and
significant increase in lipase in rats fed on HFD + clove oil which is in agreement with
Younies,[45]
These results may be due to eugenol of clove oil. Clove oil might lower the
cholesterol and triglycerides levels then simultaneously reduced the hepatic fatty acid
oxidation. These changes were attributed to the suppression in hepatic fatty acid synthase,
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and also may be due to the decreased hepatic-3-
hydroxyl-3-methyl glutaryl Co-enzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, acyl Co A and cholesterol
acyl transferase.[45]
This-improvement due to phyto compounds (like saponins) in clove oil by
inhibiting the pancreatic lipase activity in mice fed on HFD leading to increased fat excretion
due to reduced intestinal absorption of dietary fats.[46]
The significant decrease in FT3 and
FT4 levels in rats fed on HFD may be due to hormonal disturbance as results of increased
oxidative stress.
The present results showed significant increases in AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT in rats fed on
HFD which are in agreement with.[47,48]
The protective effect of clove oil on HFD induced-
hepatotoxicity in rats was appeared to be related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation in addition
to free radicals scavenging action. The observed antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of
clove oil may be due to the presence of polyphenolic compounds and flavonoids.[49]
The
present results are in agreement with Abozid and El-Sayed.[50]
The improvement in AST,
ALT, ALP, and GGT in rats fed on high-fat diet + clove oil revealed the hepatoprotective
effect of clove oil.
In the present study, the significant increases in serum CK and LDH in rats fed on HFD
indicated vascular dysfunction which is in agreement with Garjani et al.[51]
who reported that
hypercholesterolemia, even without atherosclerotic lesions, can cause vascular dysfunction.
The rats administered clove oil + HFD revealed significant improvement in CK and LDH
which may be due to the presence of phenolic, polyphenolic, terpenoid and carotenoid
compounds.[52]
The present results indicated that rats fed on HFD showed significantly higher fasting
glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance as compared to the control group. These results are in
www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 4, 2020.
60
Naglaa et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
agreement with other data which showed that rats fed on HFD had developed metabolic
disturbance or type 2 diabetes.[53]
High fat diet can induce increased insulin resistance and
reduce insulin response while insulin resistance induced by an acute increase in plasma free
fatty acids is not rapidly reversible.[54]
The generation of reactive oxygen intermediate has a role in the damage of the cellular
membranes and DNA.[55]
It has been demonstrated that a fatty liver is an insulin resistant as
in the static phase of the living organism, which resulted in elevated glucose and very low-
density lipoprotein production.[56]
The insulin resistance has an important role in the
development of atherogenic dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease.[10]
Insulin resistance (IR) is considered the key mechanism of obesity, diabetes and heart
diseases.[57]
In the course of months or years, IR is followed by an increase in β-cell insulin
secretion and by several complications known as the insulin resistance syndrome which is
associated with dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia and cardiovascular disease.[58]
Rats fed on clove oil + HFD showed improvement in these parameters. This result may be
due to the percentage of eugenol 77% of clove oil.
The present results showed a significant increase in proinflammatory marker (TNF-α) in rats
fed on HFD. This result is in agreement with Sharma et al.[59,60]
The previous study indicated
that TNF-α has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic systemic inflammatory
conditions and in the development of atherogenesis and vascular inflammation.[61]
TNF-α can
induce an impairment of endothelium development vasodilation in a variety of vascular beds
by increasing oxidative stress and decreasing the release of Nitric oxide (NO).[62]
The present
results indicated that administration of clove oil with HFD to rats attenuated HFD induced
increases in inflammatory marker (TNF-α).
The present study revealed that hyperlipidaemia (induced by high fat diet) causes a
significant increase in 8-OHDG which indicate increased oxidative stress. However, 8-
OHDG is one of the major reactive oxygen species induced DNA base modified products that
is a sensitive marker of oxidative DNA damage.[63]
This result is in agreement with
Maciejczyk et al.[64,65]
One of the reasons for the occurrence of oxidative DNA damage is free
radicals attack the deoxyribose, which usually leads to breaking a single strand of DNA.[65]
The present results indicated that administration of clove oil with HFD to rats attenuated
HFD induced increases in 8-OHDG due to the percentage of eugenol 77% of clove oil.

In the present study, hypercholesterolemia, even without atherosclerotic lesions, can cause
vascular dysfunction as showed in the histological investigations of heart and aorta in rats fed
on HFD. This result is in agreement with Garjani et al.[51]
The present study indicated that clove oil has antioxidant, anti- inflammatory and
hypolipidemic effects against high-fat diet induced-cell damages due to the effect of active
compounds found in the oil. In addition to the improvement in the histological structure of
cardiac and aortic tissues in HFD + clove oil treated rats, the eugenol found in the oil has
potential health benefit toward different metabolic syndromes such as dyslipidemia.
5- CONCLUSION
It could be concluded that the hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and the
antioxidant effects of clove oil has the ability to reduce the oxidative stress by scavenging
free radicals generated in the body as a result of high-fat diet. In view of the obtained results,
we must change our sedentary life style and avoid high fat diet or fast food, which is
characterized by reduced dietary fiber, fruit and vegetable consumption and increased fat and
refined sugar. Also, our diet must contain naturally antioxidant like clove oil.
