However, the effect of acrylamide on glycolytic enzymes has not been completely elucidated. The present study investigated the effect of acrylamide exposure on activities of serum and hepatic glycolytic enzymes namely, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase and " -glucosidase in rabbits. In addition, the protective effect of garlic ( Allium sativum ) against acrylamide toxicity as reflected on glycolytic enzyme activities has been estimated. Rabbits were exposed to acrylamide dissolved at a concentration of 0.03% (w/v, corresponding to 4.2 mM acrylamide) in distilled water with or without diet containing 1.5% of garlic powder for 42 days. Acrylamide administration reduced the activities of all investigated glycolytic enzymes in serum and liver tissues of rabbits. However, administration of garlic powder with acrylamide significantly attenuated the reduction of activities of these enzymes. In conclusion, the present study emphasized the role of garlic as a potential adjuvant therapy to attenuate acrylamide toxicity in rabbits.

Int. J. Pharmacol., 12 (4): 429-434, 2016 INTRODUCTION Acrylamide is a water-soluble vinyl monomer used for polyacrylamide synthesis. Acrylamide formed through the Maillard reaction from amino acids and reducing sugars during drying and baking (Mottram et al ., 2002). Therefore, starchy foods that have been heated at high temperature produced a huge amount of acrylamide (Tareke et al ., 2002) After absorption, acrylamide interacts with nucleophiles possessing -SH, -OH or -NH 2 transformed via glutathione conjugation and decarboxylation (Brantsaeter et al ., 2008), metabolized by cytochrome P 2 E 1 forming genotoxic epoxide glycidamide (Sumner et al ., 1999) and finally excreted in the urine (Bjellaas et al ., 2005). It is a neurotoxin for both central and peripheral systems (Sickles et al ., 2002). The toxicity was in the form of ataxia, skeletal muscle weakness and weight loss (Le Quesne, 1985; Spencer and Schaumburg, 1974) Acrylamide toxicity is mainly neurotoxicity in human whereas carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity was reported in laboratory animals (Li et al ., 2006). The mechanisms of neurotoxicity remain controversial. Several studies demonstrated the effect of acrylamide on stimulation of oxidative stress in rats (Srivastava et al ., 1986; Awad et al ., 1998; Mohamed et al ., 2013; Taha et al ., 2013). Moreover, acrylamide may produce its neurotoxicity via glycolytic enzymes inhibition with subsequent alteration in lipid metabolism (Sakamoto and Hashimoto, 1985 a, b) Discovery of effective natural product, which able to attenuates or detoxifies the environmental toxicants is an important scientific issue. Garlic ( Allium sativum L.), is a famous spice of anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant and immune modulation activities (Razo-Rodriguez et al ., 2008; Chihara et al ., 2010; Abd El-Halim and Mohamed, 2012; Taha et al ., 2013). The major beneficial effects of garlic were attributed to the high content of organosulfur compounds produced when the garlic tissue is crushed and the odorless precursors are converted by the alliinase enzyme (Vazquez-Prieto and Miatello, 2010). Alliinase enzyme acts on alliin (S-allylcysteine sulfoxide) to produce antioxidant compound named allicin (Lawson and Wang, 2005), which able to scavenging hydroxyl radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation (Pedraza-Chaverri et al ., 2006). In addition, garlic components were able to increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes such ad catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-s-transferase (Xie et al ., 2008; Ghareeb et al ., 2010; Taha et al ., 2013). In addition, the inhibition of cytochrome P 2 E 1 and consequently prevention of oxidative biotransformation of acrylamide to carcinogenic glycidamide by garlic component, diallyl trisulfide has been reported (Taubert et al ., 2006). In the current study, acrylamide dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 0.03% was administered with or without 1.5% of garlic ( Allium sativum ) powder for 42 days to evaluate the protective effect of garlic against acrylamide toxicity based on evaluation of glycolytic enzyme activities in serum and liver tissues of rabbits MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemicals, kits and plant: Routine chemicals and solvents used in the study were of highest grade and commercially available. Acrylamide (99.9%) was purchased from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO, USA). Acrylamide was dissolved at a concentration of 0.03% (w/v, corresponding to 4.2 mM acrylamide) in distilled water for rabbits administration (Ghareeb et al ., 2010). Acrylamide solution was changed frequently at 7 day intervals along an experimental period of 42 days. Garlic ( Allium sativum ) was purchased from local market at Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia The outer husks of garlic were peeled off and then the cloves were sliced and dried at 60 E C up to dryness. The dried garlic slices were ground and kept dry in sealed plastic package until used (Mohamed-Yasseen et al ., 1994). Garlic powder was mixed into the powdered basal diet at concentration of 1.5% (Ghareeb et al ., 2010). Commercial kits for pyruvate kinase, glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase and " -glucosidase were bought from Biodiagnostic Company (Cairo, Egypt) Animals and treatment: Animal experiment was performed according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, National Institutes of Health (ILAR., 1996) and approved by the King Faisal University Animal Care and Use Committee (KFU-ACUC). A total of 20 male rabbits (2 months old, 600-1000 g) were obtained from Laboratory House, College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Resources, King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. Rabbits were maintained at metal cages and received diet and water ad libitum for two weeks before the start experiment for acclimatization and to ensure the normal growth and behavior. The animals were divided into 4 equal groups. Group I, rabbits were fed on basal diet and fresh water and served as untreated control; Group 2, rabbits were fed on supplemented basal diet with 1.5% garlic powder (Ghareeb et al ., 2010); Group 3, rabbits were fed on basal diet and acrylamide solution and Group 4, rabbits were fed on supplemented basal diet with 1.5% garlic powder and 430

Int. J. Pharmacol., 12 (4): 429-434, 2016 acrylamide solution. Acrylamide solution was administered once daily via esophageal gavages (3.33 mL kg G 1 b.wt.) (Ghareeb et al ., 2010). Samples collection: After 42 days, rabbits were anaesthetized by diethyl ether and the blood was collected form ear vein as well as the liver were quickly removed and placed in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The tissues were freed from adhering blood by repeated washing with the same buffer. The harvested serum and hepatic tissues stored frozen at -20 E C until the time of analysis of activities of glycolytic enzymes. Biochemical analysis: Commercial diagnostic kits (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Germany) were used for determination of pyruvate kinase (Cat#MAK 072), glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase (Cat#MAK 208), phosphofructokinase (Cat#MAK 093), hexokinase (Cat#MAK 091) and " -glucosidase (Cat#MAK 123) by ELISA reader (Absorbance Microplate Reader ELx 800 TM BioTek®, USA). Results were calculated according to the manufacture instructions Statistical analysis: Data are expressed as the Mean±SD (Standard Deviation). One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by LSDʼs post hoc tests, which was provided by SPSS program. The differences were considered statistically significant at p # 0.05 RESULTS The effects of acrylamide and/or garlic on serum glycolytic enzymes of rabbits are presented in Table 1. The data indicated that garlic administered alone (group 2) did not affect the activities of pyruvate kinase (1.23±0.02 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 ), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (1.73±0.03 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 ), Phosphofructokinase (2.41±0.01 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 ), Hexokinase (1.15±0.01 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 ) and " -glucosidase (189±8.00 µmol mL G 1 h G 1 ) in the serum of rabbits and remained comparable to values of control, group 1 (1.20±0.05 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 , 1.65±0.04 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 , 2.36±0.01 µmol mL G 1 min G 1 , 1.05±0.01µmol m G 1 min G 1 and 179±5.00 µmol mL G 1 h G 1 ), respectively.

In the present study, acrylamide reduced the activities of examined glycolytic enzymes in serum and hepatic tissue of rabbits. This finding confirmed the hepatotoxicity effect of acrylamide as reported previously (Ghareeb et al ., 2010; Ghorbel et al ., 2015). Parallel to the current findings, acrylamide inhibited the activities of glycolytic enzymes namely, glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase and enolase in sciatic nerve tissues of rats and induced neurotoxicity in vitro (Sakamoto and Hashimoto, 1985 b) and in vivo (Sakamoto and Hashimoto, 1984; Sakamoto and Hashimoto, 1985 a; Tanii and Hashimoto, 1984). In another study (Tanii and Hashimoto, 1983), acrylamide inhibited the activities of glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase whereas, the activities of rate-limiting enzymes in glycolysis, hexokinase and pyruvate kinase were not inhibited at all. Glyceraldhyde-3- phoshate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase in nervous tissues have been inhibited by acrylamide in vivo and in vitro (Howland et al ., 1980; Howland, 1981). The inhibition has been postulated as being involved in the neurotoxic mechanism of acrylamide-induced neuropathy. Glycolytic enzymes are enzymes catalyze the oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid in a cycle named glycolysis. These enzymes are " -glucosidase, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldhyd e-3-phoshate dehydrogenas a pyruvate kinase. Alpha glucosidaselocated at the brush border of the small intestine acts on 1,4- " bonds and breakdowns starch and disaccharides into glucose. Hexokinase phosphorylated the absorbed glucose into glucose-6-phosphat, whereas phosphofructokinase phosphorylates fructose-6-phosphate into 1,6-bisfructophosphate. Glyceraldhyde-3-phoshate dehydrogenase catalyze the oxidation of glyceraldhyde-3- phosphate into glycerate 1,3-bisphosphate. Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate to adenosine diphosphate, yielding one molecule of pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate. All cascades of the reactions aimed to complete oxidation of glucose for fuel production. If these glycolytic enzymes are inhibited, the energy production of glucose oxidation will be stopped accordingly and the energy metabolism could be shifted into risky lipid mobilization and oxidation of free fatty acids. The significant increase in glycolytic enzymes activities in rabbits intoxicated with acrylamide and treated with garlic indicated protective effect of garlic against acrylamide induced liver toxicity (Ghareeb et al ., 2010; Mohamed et al ., 2013; Taha et al ., 2013). The protective effect of garlic was documented against and cisplatin induced renal changes (Nasr and Saleh, 2014). All previous studies by Ghareeb et al (2010), Mohamed et al . (2013), Taha et al . (2013) and Nasr and Saleh (2014) demonstrated that, garlic protects liver and/or renal tissues against toxicity via stimulation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. However, the current study demonstrated that, acrylamide induced its toxicity by reduction of glycolytic enzymes and garlic reactivates these activities again. The mode of action of inhibition and activation of glycolytic enzymes by acrylamide or garlic respectively was beyond the objective of the present study. Therefore, large scale studies are recommended to determine the mode of action of both acrylamide and garlic on inhibition and activation of glycolytic enzymes, respectively CONCLUSION Acrylamide administration reduced the activities of glycolytic enzymes namely pyruvate kinase, glyceraldhyde-3- 432
