Abstract:
Introduction: Diet therapy is based on body constitution, disease
conditions and seasonal influences in traditional medicine.
Traditional principles of disease treatment and prevention with
diet can be combined with conventional medical practices and
may lead to a possibility of developing new treatment and
preventive strategies.
Objectives: To study the effects of interconnected factors of diet
and season on some pathological changes of organ systems, we
examined the effect of horse meat which has hot quality and
goat meat which has cold quality on rat models of acute hepatitis
induced by CCL4 and acute pulmonary edema induced by
adrenalin hydrochloride in the spring and autumn.
Materials and methods: CCL4 (200 mg/kg) was administered
percutaneously to induce acute hepatitis in rats. Adrenalin
hydrochloride (25 mg/kg) injected via the tail vein by slow
injection to induce acute pulmonary edema in mice. Horse and
goat meat were given for 14 days before the CCL4 and
adrenalin hydrochloride administration. Renal activity was
determined by measuring urine volume every 6 hours.
Results: Results of our study show that goat meat which has
cold quality is more effective in the autumn when a rise of bile
element is occurred, and horse meat which has a cold quality is
more effective in the autumn when phlegm element rises. Horse
meat increased pulmonary surfactant stability coefficient by
54.73% in the autumn while it increased that by 69.66% in the
spring. Decreased alveolar collapse and improved pulmonary
surfactant stability by horse meat treatment support the concept
of traditional medicine that diseases of the lungs, phlegm
dominant organs are treated with diet, medicine, and behavior
with warm and oily qualities. In the spring, urine excretion was
increased in animals treated with goat meat which has cold and
oily qualities.
Conclusions: 1. The “spring + horse meat” and “autumn + goat
meat” versions of treatments more effectively decrease cytolysis
during acute hepatocellular necrosis in animals administered
CCL4. 2. Compare to goat meat, horse meat has more effects to
decrease alveolar collapse and pulmonary edema in mice model
of pulmonary edema induced by adrenalin hydrochloride. 3.
“Goat meat + spring” version of treatment decreases urine
excretion in experimental animals.
