Óxido nítrico y estrés oxidativo en la retinopatíadiabética

El estrés oxidativo está implicado en las complicaciones de la diabetes mellitus, como la retinopatía. En condiciones de hiperglucemia se incrementan los niveles de óxido nítrico y de anión superóxido, y se produce daño irreversible a biomoléculas. En este estudio se evaluaron los niveles urinar...

Desde entonces, ha aumentado la sobrevida de ellos; sin embar go, ha aparecido una "nueva DBP" y la incidencia de esta no ha disminuido. Una de las caracte rísticas ...

Therapeutic effect of resveratrol on morphine-induced damage in male reproductive system of mice by reducing nitric oxide serum level

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Morphine is one of the naturally occurring phenanthrene alkaloids of opium that induces adverse effects on male reproductive system. Resveratrol is a phytoestrogen and antioxidant of red grape. The main goal is to investigate whether resveratrol could inhibit adverse effects of morphine on sperm...

Protective effect of resveratrol against morphine damage to kidneys of mice

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Morphine produces free radicals and cause apoptosis in some cell. Resveratrol (RSV) is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced by several plants in response to injury. 48 male mice were randomly assigned to 8 groups. In this study, various doses of RSV (2, 8 and 20 mg/...

The analysis on the expression of gasotransmitters in early trauma patients

Summary Objective: Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were endogenously-generated molecules gas. They owned important biological activity and participated in many pathophysiological processes. This study aimed to examine the levels of three gasotransmitters in the early p...

Increased nitric oxide plasma concentration in dogs with naturally acquired chronic renal disease

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (8), 2017
This study aimed to determine the amount of plasma nitric oxide in clinically stable dogs at different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Five groups of dogs were studied, aged from 4 to 18, comprising of a control group composed of healthy animals (control n=17), group CKD stage 1 (DRC-1, n=12), gr...

Phagocytosis and nitric oxide production by peritoneal adherent cells in response to Candida albicans in aging: a collaboration to elucidate the pathogenesis of denture stomatitis

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (3), 2017
Abstract Elderly denture wearers are commonly affected by Candida-associated denture stomatitis (DS), an inflammatory process of the oral mucosa strongly associated with Candida spp and other microorganisms, as well as local and systemic factors. The impaired immune response against pathogens is among th...

Inhibitory effects on the production of inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species by Mori folium in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages and zebrafish

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Mori folium, the leaf of Morus alba L. (Moraceae), has been traditionally used for various medicinal purposes from ancient times to the present.
