ABSTRACT
Rajnarayna K., Venkatesham A, Krishna DR, Reddy YN.,
Effect of Alium cepa flavonoids
on metabolism of paracetamol, Onl
J Vet Res., 26 (9): 651-654, 2022. We report effect of oral flavonoids in Alium cepa (onion) on
urinary paracetamol and its metabolites in 12 healthy male volunteers. Subjects
were given 1000 mg of paracetamol orally and urine levels and metabolites determined
4 to 8h after. After 1 week washout 250g Alium cepa (onion) was ingested and 3h later 1000mg
paracetamol. Volunteers were then given 250g A. cepa daily 10 days and on day 11 given
250g before 1000 mg Paracetamol. Results suggest no effect of A cepa 3h before
paracetamol on urinary concentrations and metabolites over 8h. However, 10 day daily
A cepa reduced paracetamol
57, sulfates 27, cysteins 61 and mercaptans
50%. Flavonoids in A cepa
may reduce liver toxicity by scavenging reactive oxygen free radicals
produced by paracetamol. We find that ingestion of A cepa onion daily for 10 days or more reduces
urinary excretion paracetamol and its metabolites.
