Objective Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis and nephropathy are considered among the mostimportant complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), which recently increased due to increased frequency of DMand the prolonged life span of diabetic patients The aim of the present study was to reveal the possible effect ofhesperidin (HP) on alpha-klotho (α-KL)/fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) pathway in rats with diabetesinduced by streptozotocin (STZ).Materials and methods Thirty six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups. Therats of the control, diabetes, and treatment groups were fed with standard feed and water throughout the 2-weekstudy. In order to induce diabetes mellitus in rats, those in the diabetes group were administered a single dose of50 mg/kg STZ. For the DM + HP group, a single dose of 50 mg/kg STZ, when diabetes was induced, hesperidinwas administered orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg by gavage.Results Theα-KL levels of our study groups, both the liver and kidneyα-KL levels and serumα-KL of the STZ-induced diabetic group were statistically significantly lower than the control group (respectively, p < 0.05,p < 0.001, p < 0.05). It was observed that hesperidin administration statistically significantly increasedα-KLlevels in serum, liver and renal tissue (p < 0.001). Liver, kidney and serum FGF-23 levels of the diabetic groupincreased significantly in comparison to the control group (respectively, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001). FGF-23 levels that increased in kidney tissue and serum samples of the diabetic group decreased statistically sig-nificantly with hesperidin administration (respectively, p < 0.01, p < 0.001).Conclusion Theα-KL/FGF-23 pathway is a promising bio-indicator in various cases of systemic toxicity andpathology. In addition, the strong positive effects of hesperidin administration on diabetic toxicity in the liverand kidneys suggest that it may be included in the alternative treatment methods in the future.
