P23: The Effects of Captopril, as Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor, on LPS-Induced Systemic Inflammation

It has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays key roles in the inflammation process. Imbalance in the oxidant-antioxidant system is one of the major causes of inflammation. In the present study, the effects of captopril on total and differential WBC, oxidative stress in systemic inflammation produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. The rats were divided to: cont...

on translation of politeness strategies in dialogues involving female characters in translations and retranslations of novels translated before and after the islamic revolution of iran and their effects on the image of women: a polysystem theory approach

abstract reception environment has considerable effects on accepting a translation. as the expectations of a target culture and its values and needs change throughout history, its criteria for accepting a translation or rejecting it will change accordingly (gentzler, 2001). the expectations of iran, as the reception environment in the present study, have changed after the islamic revolution. i...

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition and its impact on cardiovascular disease.

Ma anipulation of the renin-angiotensin system has evolved during the last few years from an obscure line of biochemical research and pathophysiologic experimentation into a new therapeutic approach, whose widespread clinical application is affecting the lives of large patient populations. Of particular interest in this respect is the emerging concept of the close relation between the renin-ang...

Protective Effects of Proline–Rich Peptide in a Rat Model of Alzheimer Disease: An Electrophysiological Study

Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly that slowly destroys memory and cognitive functions. The disease has no cure and leads to significant structural and functional brain abnormalities. To facilitate the treatment of this disease, we aimed to investigate proline-rich peptide (PRP-1) action of hypothalamus on hippocampal (HP) neurons and dynamic...
