Abstract :Background/Aim: In the study, the role of Spexin (SPX) and TRPM2 in the protective effect of Hydroxytyrosol (HT) in rats given Corn Syrup was evaluated. Material and Method: The rats were divided into 4 groups (6 rats in each) (Control, HT, Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup +HT). Rats were given 30% Corn Syrup with drinking water for 6 weeks. 4 ml/kg/day liquid containing HT was applied by oral gavage alone and together with Corn Syrup for 6 weeks. Molecular parameters SPX and TRPM2 were examined histopathologically in liver tissue. Results: The SPX levels decreased and the TRPM2 levels increased more in the Corn Syrup given Group than the Control Group. SPX levels increased and TRPM2 levels decreased after HT treatment. In the HT Group only, no differences were detected when compared to the control Group. Conclusion: SPX and TRPM2 may mediate the protective effect of HT on the liver in rats given corn syrup.Keywords : Mısır Şurubu, Hidroksitirosol, Spexin, TRPM2
