Curcumin ameliorates experimental autoimmune acute myocarditis in rats as evidenced by decrease in thioredoxin immunoreactivity.
This study was performed to investigate the effect of curcumin on cardiac myosin-induced autoimmune myocarditis in rats and the change in thioredoxin (TRX) immunoreactivity in cardiomyocytes following curcumin treatment. Twenty-four six-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into 4 groups of 6 rats each. Group I received neither curcumin nor myosin. Group II received an oral solution...
متن کاملResveratrol ameliorates experimental autoimmune myocarditis.
BACKGROUND Myosin-induced autoimmune myocarditis of rats is a model of human dilated cardiomyopathy. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapes and wine that is reported to have cardioprotective and immunomodulatory effects. METHODS AND RESULTS To examine the effect of resveratrol on myocarditis, vehicle or resveratrol (50 mg/kg per day) was administered to cardiac myosin immunized r...

متن کاملExogenous thioredoxin reduces inflammation in autoimmune myocarditis.
Levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are tightly regulated in mammalian cells. A variety of enzymes produce ROS, including NAD(P)H oxidase, xanthine oxidase, glucose oxidase, myeloperoxidase, the family of nitric oxide synthases, and mitochondrial enzymes.1–4 Low levels of ROS such as superoxide or hydrogen peroxide regulate highly specific targets.5,6 In the cardiovascular system, for examp...
متن کاملCurcumin Ameliorates Methotrexate-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats
Methotrexate is an effective anticancer and immunosuppressive agent. However, nephrotoxicity is one of the complications of its use. On the other hand, curcumin, a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, is reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Those two properties are likely to prevent methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pos...
