Physical exercise and anti-inflammatory agents in an animal model of seizures: insights into lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity

A previous study revealed the protective effect of an aerobic exercise protocol on behavioral and inflammatory aspects in an animal model of epileptic seizures. The previously collected samples in that investigation were now analyzed from the perspective of oxidative stress. Five experimental groups of W...

Etoposide Model-Induced Changes in Antioxidant Studies Histological and Ultrastructural Evaluations of Hepatic, Renal, and Cardiac Tissues of Male Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Etoposide is an effective antimitotic and antineoplastic agent used to treat various human malignancies. In the present study, Etoposide was injected intraperitoneally into the rats at 1 mg/kg/day for 52 days (52 doses). The control animals received physiological saline (0.5 ml) intraperitoneall...

The impact of COVID-19 on vitamin E concentrations and oxidative stress markers in adult subjects: A systematic review

Rev. chil. nutr; 50 (6), 2023
Objective: To determine the impact of COVID-19 on vitamin E concentrations and oxidative stress in patients affected by the disease. Method: We conducted a systematic review using observational studies published between 2020 and 2023, which addressed the impact of COVID-19 on vitamin E concentrations and...

Prospective Protective Effects of Arthrospira platensis Against Acetaminophen Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in Rats

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: The toxic effects of acetaminophen appear primarily in the liver and kidney. The protective effect of blue green alga Arthrospira platensis on hepato-renal toxicity caused by acetaminophen was evaluated in male rats. The obtained results showed that subcutaneous injection of acetaminophen at a d...

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...

Screening for acetylcholinesterase inhibition, lipid peroxidation inhibition and antioxidant activity of medicinal plants from Morocco

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), hydrolyzes acetylcholine to choline and acetate, thereby terminating this neurotransmitter effect at cholinergic synapses. Therefore, AChE inhibition is used for counterbalance the cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. In the ...

The inhibitory effect of Cannabis Sativa L. and Morus nigra L. against lipid peroxidation in goat liver and brain homogenates

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential and inhibitory effect ofCannabis sativa and Morus nigra against lipid peroxidation in goat brain and liver homogenates. The formation of free radicals, highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is a ...

Grado de oxidación en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2

La peroxidación lipídica es un proceso complejo que hace referencia a la degradación oxidativa de los lípidos, a través del cual los radicales libres capturan electrones de los lípidos en las membranas celulares, lo cual compromete la integridad y la función de la membrana. Mediante una serie de ...

4-hydroxy-2-nonenal as a marker of the oxidative stress in brains of dogs with canine distemper

Canine Distemper is a disease caused by Canine morbillivirus (CM), a pantropic virus that can affect the central nervous system (CNS), causing demyelination. However, the pathogenesis of this lesion remains to be clarified. Brain samples of 14 naturally infected dogs by CM were analyzed to evaluate the p...

The beneficial effects of virgin olive oil against oxidative stress induced by hypercholesterolemia in rats

Acta sci., Health sci; 44 (), 2022
Cardiovascular disease(CVD) remains the major cause of mortality in the world, typically claiming a third of all deaths. The primary cause of CVD is atherosclerosis. Therefore, timely prevention and therapy of atherosclerosis are able to reduce the risk of the development of its clinical manif...
