Özet
BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (METS) is a multifactorial cardiometabolic disorder characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia, substantially increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The variable effectiveness of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions has heightened interest in complementary approaches. Hirudotherapy, containing a wide range of bioactive compounds, may offer therapeutic benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hirudotherapy on metabolic parameters in a rat model of METS.MethodsTwenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Control (n = 6), METS (n = 6), METS + 4-week hirudotherapy (n = 6), and METS + 8-week hirudotherapy (n = 6). METS was induced through a modified high-fat and fructose-enriched diet. The effects of hirudotherapy on liver enzymes (AST ...
