Prostaglandins, Histamine and Platelet Activating Factor: Different Mediators in Dithranol-Induced Skin Damage
Dithranol is a potent agent in treating psoriasis but its adverse effects on intact skin have limited its usage. There are many proposed mediators for its adverse effects including prostaglandins, histamine, platelet activating factor and free radicals. In this study we examined the effect of different agents (diazepam, terfenadine, indomethacin and garlic extract) on dithranol-induced skin dam...
متن کاملEffect of Follicular Fluid and Platelet-Activating Factor on Lactate Dehydrogenase C Expression in Human Asthenozoospermic Samples
Background: Application of follicular fluid (FF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in artificial insemination improves sperm motility. Lactate dehydrogenase C (LDH-C) is a key enzyme for sperm motility. In this study, the effects of FF and PAF on the sperm motility index and LDH-C expression were investigated. Moreover, LDH-C expression was compared between asthenozoospermic and normozoosper...
متن کاملNuclear Factor B Dependency of Platelet-activating Factor-induced Angiogenesis
This study investigated the mechanisms of platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced angiogenesis in a mouse model of Matrigel implantation. PAF induced a doseand time-dependent angiogenic response. Inhibitors of nuclear factor (NF) B expression or action, including antisense oligonucleotides to the p65 subunit of NF B (p65 antisense) and antioxidants such as -tocopherol and N-acetyl-L-cysteine, ...
متن کاملThe effect of platelet activating factor on the motility and acrosome reaction of ram spermatozoa
Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a novel signaling phospholipids that in addition to platelet activation has many biological properties. The acrosome reaction, as an essential step in mammalian fertilization, can occur in response to several agents such as PAF. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effect of PAF on the motility and acrosome reaction of ram spermatozoa. Semen was c...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor (PAF) induces corneal neovascularization and upregulates VEGF expression in endothelial cells.
PURPOSE Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent proinflammatory mediator that accumulates in the cornea after injury and induces the expression of genes related to inflammation and wound healing. The current study was conducted to investigate the direct effect of PAF on corneal neovascularization and on the expression of angiogenic growth factors in vascular endothelial cells. METHODS Pe...
