In vivo Gonadoprotective Effects of Myricetin on Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Suppression of TLR4/NF-kB Inflammation Pathway and Heat-Shock Response

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to reveal the gonadoprotective effects of myricetin (MYC), which has many biological properties, on cisplatin (CP)-induced testicular damage in rats. For this purpose, 40 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as Control (group given no treatment), MYC (group...

Effect of kefir on increased apoptosis in liver and kidney in cisplatin toxicity

Int. j. morphol; 40 (2), 2022
SUMMARY: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent inducing liver and kidney damage. In this study, we intended to investigate the impact of kefir beverage, an essential probiotic and functional food, on liver and kidney damage induced by cisplatin. Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control, ...

Importancia de la cardiooncología. Cómo detectar la insuficiencia cardiaca subclínica

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 91 (2), 2021
Resumen Hoy una de las principales causas de mortalidad es el cáncer. La supervivencia en pacientes con cáncer ha incrementado de 1970 (25%) a la actualidad (80%). A raíz de la introducción de las antraciclinas como tratamiento de cáncer desde 1960-1970, más del 60% de los pacientes son tratados co...

The effects of rapamycin and 3-methyladenine on nitric oxide synthase enzymes in cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of autophagy-enhancing rapamycin (RAPA) and autophagy- inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) with Nitric oxide synthases (NOS) in Cisplatin (CIS)-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Rats were divided into 4 groups (n=10): Control was applied saline, ...

The ameliorative effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity: assessment of the oxidative stress an inflammation

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to determine the potential therapeutic effects of CAPE in CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Cisplatin (CP) is an antineoplastic chemotherapeutic used for treatment of many cancer types but its applications may induce nephrotoxicity. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) i...

Otoprotection Mechanisms Against Oxidative Stress Caused by Cisplatin

Abstract Introduction Cisplatin damages the auditory system and is related to the generation of free radicals. Glutathione peroxidase is an endogenous free radicals remover. Objective To investigate the mechanisms involved in otoprotection by N-acetylcys- teine through the expression of glutathione p...

Amifostine protects from the peripheral sensory neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin in mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (11), 2020
Sensory neuropathy is a dose-limiting side effect of oxaliplatin-based cancer treatment. This study investigated the antinociceptive effect of amifostine and its potential neuroprotective mechanisms on the oxaliplatin-related peripheral sensory neuropathy in mice. Oxaliplatin (1 mg/kg) was injected intra...

Cascos fríos para la prevención de alopecia inducida por quimioterápicos
Cold caps for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia

Uno de los efectos adversos que generan mayor impacto psicosocial en los pacientes que se someten a quimioterapia es la pérdida de cabello. El uso de los cascos fríos podría representar una alternativa para prevenir la alopecia. Estos dispositivos producen vasoconstricción en los vasos sanguíneos de...

Pericyte loss and detachment in experimental cisplatin-induced neuropathy

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent with neuropathy as one of its major side effect. However, effective treatment is lacking. Increasing evidence suggests that cisplatin might damage nerve capillaries leading to impaired functions of blood-nerve barrier (BNB) and neuropathy. This study was aimed to exam...
