Ginkgolide B alleviates Parkinson's disease in rats by resisting oxidative stress and inflammatory response and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

This study explored the alleviative effect of ginkgolide B on Parkinson's disease (PD) in rats. PD model was established in 20 rats, which were then randomly divided into model and treatment group, 10 rats in each group. Other 10 rats were selected as control group. The treatment group was treated wi...

Evaluation of effect of Nerium oleander against STZ induced diabetic neuropathy rat model by reducing NF-κB pathway

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a chronic diabetic complication, which is difficult to manage. The current investigation evaluates the effect of Nerium oleander (NO) in the management of diabetic neuropathy (DN). Diabetic neuropathy was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) [60 mg/kg, i.p.] and treated ...

Effects of Yishentongluo recipe on Nrf2 and HO-1 pathway activation leading to reduction of oxidative stress and kidney fibrosis in membranous nephropathy rat model

This study investigated Yishentongluo Recipe (YSTLF) effects on renal oxidative stress and fibrosis in membranous nephropathy (MN) rats. MN was induced by cationized bovine serum albumin injection. Rats were divided into control, MN, YSTLF, and benazepril groups. After ...

Aceite de rosa mosqueta (Rosa rubiginosa) disminuye marcadores inflamatorios en células hepáticas humanas HepG2 tratadas con lipopolisacárido

La alteración de la microbiota intestinal es uno de los factores claves que afecta el inicio y la progresión de esteatosis hepática, al aumentar la permeabilidad intestinal e inducir un aumento circulante de la endotoxina lipopolisacárido (LPS). El LPS puede llegar al hígado a través de la vena por...

The potential role of apigenin in the enhancement of the antioxidant adaptation to exercise by bioactive dietary compounds

Rev. chil. nutr; 50 (6), 2023
Oxidative stress (OS) occurs when the antioxidant defense system is overwhelmed by the predominance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-oxidant factors. Several diseases such as hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic OS....

Interleukin-37 has A Promising Cardioprotective Effect on Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: The main cause of mortality and disability globally is myocardial infarction (MI). Isoproterenol (ISO), a β-adrenoceptor agonist, has been used to induce rat myocardial necrosis. Whereas interleukin-37 (IL-37) has anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties. The study aimed to investiga...

Neuroprotective effect of Capparis ovata Desf. var. palaestina Zoh. on H2O2‐induced neurotoxicity in SH‐SY5Y cells

The neuroprotective effect of flower and fruit parts of Capparis ovata Desf. var. palaestina Zoh. plant was investigated in H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. The cells were treated with H2O2 alone or pretreated with flower (COMFL) and fruit extract (COMFR) of C. ovatavar. palaesti...

Neuro-protective effect of Linalool against spinal cord injury in rats and the mechanism involved

The current study was conducted to determine the neuroprotective role and mechanism of action of Linalool (LIN) in SCI. The SCI in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was induced by weight-drop contusion model. Results of the suggested that LIN showed improvement in the locomo...

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...

The effect of Vitamin E supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers and oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis: A systematic review

Rev. chil. nutr; 50 (1), 2023
Hemodialysis, along with chronic kidney disease (CKD), intensifies the inflammatory process and oxidative stress in patients undergoing treatment. In this context, Vitamin E supplementation can mitigate the deleterious effects resulting from these processes. This is a systematic review whose objective wa...
