Inflammation and oxidative stress in heart failure: effects of exercise intensity and duration

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (9), 2017
Although acute exercise is apparently pro-inflammatory and increases oxidative stress, it can promote the necessary stress stimulus to train chronic adaptations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to compare the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the inflammatory mar...

The effects of an experimentally induced unilateral varicose ovarian vein on the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes in an adult rat ovary

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
In this study, we aim to examine effects of an experimentally induced unilateral varicose ovarian vein on the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes in an adult rat ovary. In this experimental study, a total of 30 adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. 10 rats in group 1 as the varic...

Oxidative stress in human aorta of patients with advanced aortoiliac occlusive disease

Abstract Introduction: Oxidative stress seems to be a role in the atherosclerosis process, but research in human beings is scarce. Objective: To evaluate the role of oxidative stress on human aortas of patients submitted to surgical treatment for advanced aortoiliac occlusive disease. Methods: Twenty-...

Inflammatory bowel and oxidative stress changes in an experimental model of portal hypertension: action of N-acetylcysteine

Introduction: Portal hypertension (PH) is characterized by vasodilatation in the portal system and the bowel is one of the severely affected organs. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a molecule with important properties and widely used in clinical practice. Objective: To evaluate NAC action in the bowel of anim...

Oxidative stress in carotid arteries of patients submitted to carotid endarterectomy. The role of aging process

Acta cir. bras; 31 (8), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluated the role of oxidative stress on aging process in patients submitted to carotid endarterectomy. METHODS: Twenty patients were divided into two groups: older group (≥ 70 years old); and the younger group (< 70 years old). We evaluated the reactive oxygen species ...

The beneficial effects of Montelukast against 2 3 7 8 tetrachlorodibenzo dioxin toxicity in female reproductive system in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (8), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine the toxic effect of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on reproductive system and the beneficial effects of Montelukast (ML) with histological and biochemical analysis. METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (control, TCDD, ML and TCDD+ML). Ti...

Enduring amnesia induced by ICV scopolamine is reversed by sesame oil in male rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (8), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluated the long-term effect of scopolamine and sesame oil on spatial memory. METHODS: Memory impairment induced by Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of scopolamine hydrochloride (10 μg/ rat). Animals were gavaged for 4 weeks with saline, sesame oil (0.5, 1, or 2 mL/k...

Erythrocyte oxidative stress markers in children with sickle cell disease

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 92 (4), 2016
Abstract Objective To determine eight parameters of oxidative stress markers in erythrocytes from children with sickle cell disease and compare with the same parameters in erythrocytes from healthy children, since oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease and...

Laminar lesions in horses with systemic oxidative stress, committed by experimentally induced or naturally occurring gastrointestinal disorders

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (8), 2016
Laminitis in horses can be associated with lesions in multiple organs secondary to sepsis. Twenty-one horses suffering from gastrointestinal disorders were used in the experiment; 7 horses with experimentally induced endotoxemia and intestinal ischaemia, and 14 horses suffering from naturally occurring c...

The protective cardiac effects of Β-myrcene after global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in C57BL/J6 mouse

Acta cir. bras; 31 (7), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effect of β-myrcene (MYR) on oxidative and histological damage in mice heart tissue caused global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in C57BL/J6 mice. METHODS: Animals(n=40) were randomly divided into four groups: (1)control, (2)IR, (3)MYR and (4)MYR...
