The purpose of this study was to explore the protective effects of different doses of rutin with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by oleic acid (OA) in rats. Thirty-five Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly separated into five groups comprising control, rutin 150 mg, OA, rutin 75 mg + OA and rutin 150 mg + OA. In the rutin 75 mg + OA and rutin 150 mg + OA groups, the lung malondialdehyde level (MDA) was significantly lower than that of the OA group. In the rutin 75 mg + OA and and rutin 150 mg + OA groups, the lung GPx (glutathione peroxidase), CAT (catalase) and SOD (superoxide dismutase) activities and GSH (glutathione) levels were significantly higher than those of the OA group, and significantly lower than those of the control group. iNOS expressions in the interstitial parts of the lungs were significantly lower than those of the OA group. The iNOS expression was lower in the 150 mg + OA group compared to the rutin 75 mg + OA group. It was concluded that on the ALI induced by OA, rutin had protective effects through the antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties and that the treatment of rutin as a supportive treatment in ALI was found to be practically useful.
