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...

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...

Curcumin alleviated oxidation stress injury by mediating osteopontin in nephrolithiasis rats

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To explore the role and mechanism of curcumin (Cur) in reducing oxidative stress damage in rats with nephrolithiasis induced by ethylene glycol (EG). Methods: Thirty male rats were divided into normal control, model, positive (10% potassium citrate), Cur-10 (10 mg/kg curcumin) and Cur-20 (20 mg/...

Dihydroartemisinin ameliorates the liver steatosis in metabolic associated fatty liver disease mice by attenuating the inflammation and oxidative stress and promoting autophagy

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To explore the effect and potential mechanism of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on metabolism-related fatty liver disease. Methods: A metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) mice model was induced with continuous supplies of high-fat diet. DHA was intraperitoneally injected into mice. The we...

Study of the potential toxicity of adrenaline to neurons, using the SH-SY5Y human cellular model

Abstract Prolonged overexposure to catecholamines causes toxicity, usually credited to continuous adrenoceptor stimulation, autoxidation, and the formation of reactive pro-oxidant species. Non-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells were used to study the possible contribution of oxidative stress in adrenaline (ADR...

Aluminum toxicity induced Alzheimer's Disease and its potential treatment using antioxidants - a review

Abstract Over the years, a handful of drugs have been approved to be used in the fight against Alzheimer's Disease but unfortunately none of these drugs have proven to be solid-treatments. Alzheimer's Disease is one of the most prominent diseases observed in the elderly population. In this review article...

Catequinas del té verde: efectos antigenotóxicos y genotóxicos. Revisión sistemática

Arch. latinoam. nutr; 72 (3), 2022
Las catequinas del té verde (Camellia sinensis) (CTV) presentan efectos benéficos para la salud asociados a su potencial antioxidante. Por otra parte, el estrés oxidante es una de las vías de inducción de daño genotóxico. De ahí que, en la presente revisión se realizó un análisis de los efecto...

Vitamin E suppresses aortic ultrastructural alterations induced by toxic doses of monosodium glutamate

Int. j. morphol; 40 (3), 2022
SUMMARY: An association between certain food additives and chronic diseases is reported. Current study determined whether administering toxic doses of the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) into rats can induce aortopathy in association with the oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers upregula...

Radioprotective Effect of Nigella Sativa Oil on Heart Tissues of Rats Exposed to Irradition

Abstract Background Various studies are ongoing related to the radioprotective agents. Herbal preparations are currently becoming popular because of their beneficial effects with fewer side effects compared to the synthetic/semi-synthetic medicines, and Nigella sativa oil (NSO) is only one of them. Ob...
