Objectives: In the present study, it was aimedto investigate the biochemical effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) on the antioxidant enzyme levels in human peripheralblood cell cultures.Materials and Methods: The blood cultureswere prepared using the blood samples obtainedfrom 10 individuals (5 male and 5 female) whowere systemically healthy and were not exposed toany toxic agent before. The cultures were exposedto different concentrations of CHX (0.05, 0.1, 0.2ve 0.4 mmol/L). Glutation peroxidase (GPx),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT)enzyme activities were analyzed in order toevaluate the biochemical effects.Results:A dose-dependent statisticallysignificant reduction was seen in the GPx, SOD andCAT enzyme activities in the blood cultures treatedwith 0.1, 0.2 ve 0.4 mmol/L concentrations ofCHX. Conclusion: This is the first in vitro studyinvestigating the effects of CHX on antioxidantenzyme levels in the human peripheral bloodcultures. In conclusion, it was revealed that CHXhad dose-depended cytotoxic effects by influencingthe antioxidant enzyme activities in blood cells.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, klorheksidin diglukonatın (KHG) insan periferal kan kültürlerinde antioksidan enzim seviyeleri üzerine olan biyokimyasal etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Daha önce herhangi bir toksik ajana maruz kalmamış ve sistemik olarak sağlıklı 10 bireyden (5 erkek, 5 kadın) elde edilen kan örnekleri ile kan kültürleri hazırlandı. Elde edilen kültürler farklı konsantrasyonlarda KHG (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 ve 0.4 mmol/L) ile muamele edildi. Biyokimyasal etkilerin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla glutatyon peroksidaz (GPx), süperoksit dismutaz (SOD) ve katalaz (KAT) enzim aktiviteleri incelendi.
Bulgular: KHG'nin 0.1, 0.2 ve 0.4 mmol/L'luk konsantrasyonları ile muamele edilen kan kültürlerinde GPx, SOD ve CAT enzim aktivitelerinde doza bağlı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede azalma izlendi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, KHG'nin insan periferal kan kültürlerinde antioksidan enzim seviyeleri üzerindeki etkilerini araştıran ilk in vitro çalışmadır. Sonuç olarak, bu bileşiğin kan hücrelerindeki antioksidan enzim aktivitelerini etkilemek suretiyle doza bağlı sitotoksik etkilere sahip olduğu da ortaya konulmuştur.
