N-Acetyl Cysteine improves the diabetic cardiac function: possible role of fibrosis inhibition
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of death in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic implication of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, an antioxidant and glutathione precursor) and the possible underlying mechanism. METHODS Thirty five 12-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were included. Twenty-five diabetic mice were induced by intraperitone...
متن کاملCombined Effect of N-Acetyl Cysteine and Clarithromycin on Bleomycin Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis
Combined therapy with clarithromycin (CLTR) and N–acetyl cysteine (NAC) may be useful in diseases with impaired oxidant-antioxidant balance, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen deposition such as pulmonary fibrosis. Activated inflammatory cells which accumulate in the lower airways may release increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when accompanied with a deficiency in glut...
متن کاملA Preliminary Study: N-acetyl-L-cysteine Improves Semen Quality following Varicocelectomy
a:4:{s:9:"Objective";s:680:"Surgery is considered the primary treatment for male infertility from clinical varicocele. One of the main events associated with varicocele is excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals, is considered a supplement to alleviate glutathione (GSH) depletion during oxidative stress. Despi...
متن کاملN-methylethanolamine attenuates cardiac fibrosis and improves diastolic function: inhibition of phospholipase D as a possible mechanism.
AIM Ventricular fibrosis is promoted by many effectors that chronically activate phospholipase D (PLD), and induces cardiac dysfunction and heart failure in cardiovascular diseases. Since ethanolamine is a product of PLD, we hypothesised that an administration of an analogue of ethanolamine, N-methylethanolamine (MEA), decreases PLD activity through a negative feedback mechanism, suppresses col...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition improves cardiac function. Role of bradykinin.
The effect of chronic low- and high-dose treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor ramipril (0.01 and 1 mg/kg per day) on the development of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy as well as on functional and biochemical alterations of the heart was studied in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats treated prenatally and subsequently up to the age of 20 weeks...
