Suppression of diabetes-induced renal inflammatory cell infiltration by metformin associated with the amelioration of renal injury biomarkers

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Diabetes and hypertension account for the majority of chronic kidney injury cases that can lead to renal failure. The link between the leukocytes common antigen (CD45) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with and without metformin incorporation in an animal model has not been investigated before. ...

Canagliflozin reduces the contractile response of isolated heart of normal adult rats

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) represent a unique class of glucose-declining renal-targeted drugs. The SGLT2i Canagliflozin (CANA) is an anti-hyperglycemic drug that reduces various cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed ...

Evaluation of fertility and embryo implantation in rats after the oral administration of Salvia officinalis (sage) extract

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: In Saudi Arabia, it is widely believed that women with reproductive problems can use the extract of the sage plant as a tea drink. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of this herb on the fertility of female rats and embryo implantation. Forty-eight Wistar virgin female rats were ...

Morphological alterations in human skeletal muscle cells exposed to di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (dehp) in primary cell culture conditions

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is among the most common plasticizer additives that humans are in contact with daily. DEHP can be released from plastic and enter the human body, whereby it is metabolized and transformed into oxidative hydrophilic molecules. Clinical follow-ups in patients exp...

Are statins a risk factor in patients with atherosclerosis?

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis, but also have other pleiotropic effects. There are indications that they affect macrophage survival trough the regulation of apoptosis. We analyzed 50 samples of aortic wall, selected based on statins in patients' therapy (n=25, Th-S group) or statin-free t...

Paracetamol poisoning induces acute liver injury in rats: inhibition of miR-155/cd45 axis-mediated antioxidant depletion and hepatotoxicity using quercetin and resveratrol

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Ingestion of an overdose of paracetamol (also called acetaminophen, or APAP) induces hepatotoxicity that can lead to liver failure. The link between the pro-inflammatory microRNA-155 (miR-155) and leukocyte infiltration (CD45) in APAP- antioxidant depletion and liver toxicity with and without th...

RESUMEN: Las bacteriocinas son péptidos antimicrobianos de síntesis ribosomal secretadas por bacterias. Dentro de estas destaca nisina que posee potenciales usos en terapias antibióticas, como biopreservante de alimentos y probióticos. También se ha descrito que nisina posee citotoxicidad sobre lín...

The effects of L-carnitine on gastrointestinal contractility and histological changes in rat intestinal ischemia-reperfusion Injury

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) of the small intestine causes serious abdominal pathologies including tissue dysfunction and organ failure. L-carnitine (L-C), a powerful antioxidant, may help lessen the severity of these pathological effects since it plays a key role in energy metabolism. In this wor...

Investigation of teratogenic effects of letrozole on fetal bone development

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Letrozole is mainly used for the treatment of unexplained infertility, breast cancer and polycystic ovarian syndrome, with secondary use in ovarian stimulation. In cases of unexpected or unknown pregnancy during the use of letrozole, letrozole may cause a teratogenic effect on the fetus. In this...

Effect of melatonin on peripheral nerve damage resulting from tibial defect in rats

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Peripheral nerve damage (PNI) can cause demyelination, axonal degeneration and loss of motor and sensory function. Melatonin with its antioxidative effect, has been reported to reduce scar formation in nerve injury, take a role in repair process by suppressing fibroblast proliferation in the dam...
