A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of trans-chalcone in raw-materialand topical formulation

Trans-chalcone (TC) is a flavonoid precursor characterized by a wide spectrum of action, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, no validated methods are available in official compendia for the analysis of this substance. Thus, the aim of this work was to develop and validate a simple, f...

Genes da instabilidade de microssatélites no câncer colorretal: papel na inflamação e estresse oxidativo

A instabilidade de microssatélites é um fenômeno genético caracterizado pela alteração na repetição de sequências de nucleotídeos conhecidas como microssatélites. Esta instabilidade pode ocorrer devido a defeitos nos genes reparadores de DNA, como os genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 e PMS2. A inflamaç...

Zarzio Ameliorates Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Induced By a High Fat Diet in a Rat Experimental Model: A Histological and Immunohistochemical Study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The therapeutic effect of a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) biosimilar drug, zarzio, on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a rat model was investigated in this study. Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into four groups. Groups I and II were fed a standard laboratory di...

Study of antidiabetic activity of two novel Schiff base derived dibromo and dichloro substituted compounds in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats: pilot study

Abstract Schiff bases are aldehyde-or ketone-like chemical compounds in which an imine or azomethine group replaces the carbonyl group. Such compounds show various beneficial biological activities, such as anti-inflammation and antioxidants. The present study addresses comprehensiveevaluation of antidiab...

Avaliação da etapa final do sinal insulínico, via inflamatória, estresse oxidativo, mecanismo epigenético por metilação do DNA e expressão de GLUT4 no músculo gastrocnêmio de ratos adultos, proles de ratas com periodontite apical

A programação fetal sugere que estímulos adversos quando aplicados durante o início do desenvolvimento fetal podem alterar o metabolismo da prole, aumentando o risco de doenças na sua vida adulta. A metilação do DNA é um dos mecanismos epigenéticos envolvida nesta programação e regula a expres...

El distrés oxidativo y sus implicaciones moleculares en algunas enfermedades infecciosas: una revisión
Oxidative distress and its molecular implication for some infectious diseases: A review

Rev. cuba. med. trop; 74 (3), 2022
Introducción: Las especies reactivas de oxígeno, nitrógeno y azufre (ERONS) se generan continuamente en la fisiología de los organismos. Como parte de la respuesta de las células inmunitarias frente a los patógenos podrían aumentar y producir distrés oxidativo, citotoxicidad y daño de los órgan...

Interplay of Oxidative Stress and Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression on Cardiovascular Responses in Preeclampsia

Abstract Objective To assess the influence of oxidative stress on the gene expression of nitric oxide synthases (NOS 3 and NOS 2) and, hence, the cardiovascular responses in preeclampsia. Methods This was a case control study in which patients with preeclampsia (PE group) and normal pregnancy controls ...

Neuroprotective effects of sinapic acid involve the iron regulatory role on the rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease model

Abstract In the last decades, ferroptosis and its relationship with Parkinson's disease have gained significant attention. Compounds that affect ferroptosis and iron-dependent pathways in particular, have possible candidates for study in this context.Sinapic acid is an iron-chelator and high antioxidant ...
