Can pumpkin save us of doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity?

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the drugs necessary for the treatment of the 10 most common types of cancer. The leading adverse effect limiting clinical use of DOX is cardiotoxicity. Given that literature data indicate a protective role of carotenoids in doxorubicin-induced toxicity, in our study w...

Immunohistochemical evidence of melatonin protection on lung tissue during chemotherapy

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: The present study investigated the possible protective effects of melatonin on Bleomycin, Cisplatin and etoposide (BEP) chemotherapy regimens using immunohistochemistry. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of ten as; group 1 as untreated control; group 2 as BEP group which recei...

Time-dependent proregenerative effects of exogenous melatonin on the transected sciatic nerve

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: Microsurgical procedures are the treatment of choice of peripheral nerve injuries, but often fail to reach full functional recovery. Melatonin has neuroprotective actions and might be used as a possible proregenerative pharmacological support. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the ...

The essential oil from Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. fruits exerting potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects

Kelussia odoratissima fruits are utilized in Persian traditional medicine as a painkiller and to prevent inflammation-based disorders. Considering the higher content of essential oil in the fruits, the oil’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities were investigated via the paw ...

Anti-hyperglycemic activity of aqueous extracts of cells produced in Ibervillea sonorae (S. Watson) Green cell culture on murine model

Ibervillea sonorae (S. Watson) Greene, is a plant native to Mexico, where its roots have been used traditionally for treating Diabetes Mellitus. The aim of this work was to establishment of cell cultures of stem explants of I. sonorae and evaluation of the anti-hyperglycemic activity of ...

Effect of strength training versus raloxifene on bone weight, blood glucose, lipid and antioxidant profile in ovariectomized rats

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 45 (), 2023
We compared the effect of the treatment with strength training (ST) and raloxifene (RALOX) on bone weight, blood glucose, lipid, and antioxidant profile in ovariectomized rats. Twenty-four Wistar rats were distributed into four groups: ovariectomy + VEHICLE (control); ovariectomy + RALOX; ova...

Effects of local and remote ischemic postconditioning methods on ischemiareperfusion injury in a young animal model of acute mesenteric ischemia

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a condition in pediatric surgery that ranges from intestine necrosis to death. Ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) methods were developed to reduce the damage caused by revascularization. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of these methods in an experimenta...

Remote ischemic preconditioning-induced late cardioprotection: possible role of melatonin-mitoKATP-H2S signaling pathway

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) confers cardioprotection against ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. However, the precise mechanisms involved in RIPC-induced cardioprotection are not fully explored. The present study was aimed to identify the role of melatonin in RIPC-induced late cardiopro...

The role of TNF-α and NFkβ in an experimental model of intestinal carcinogenesis with 1, 2-dimethyhydrazine

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To analyze the potential of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and factor nuclear kappa B (NF-κB) as colorectal cancer (CRC) biomarkers in an experimental model of intestinal carcinogenesis with 1,2-dimethyhydrazine (1,2-DMH). Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: s...

L-glutamine supplementation reduced morphological damage in the renal glomerulus of rats with Walker-256 tumor

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the experimental subcutaneous Walker-256 tumor and L-glutamine supplementation, an antioxidant, on the glomerular morphology of rats. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 5): control (C); control treated with 2% L-glutamine (CG); rats with...
