Tanshinone IIA attenuates ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a murine model of asthma
Objective(s): Tanshinone IIA (T. IIA), one of the most pharmacologically active components extracted from Salviae miltiorrhiza, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant features. The aim of the present study is to investigate the benefit of T. IIA on asthma using a murine model of asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Materials and Methods: Male BALB/c mice were used in the present study. The mice we...
متن کاملEffect of intranasal rosiglitazone on airway inflammation and remodeling in a murine model of chronic asthma
BACKGROUND/AIMS Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and remodeling. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors have been reported to regulate inflammatory responses in many cells. In this study, we examined the effects of intranasal rosiglitazone on airway remodeling in a chronic asthma model. METHODS We developed a mouse model of airway remodeling, including...
متن کاملGrape seed proanthocyanidin extract alleviates ouabain-induced vascular remodeling through regulation of endothelial function
Recent studies indicate that chronic ouabain treatment leads to hypertension and hypertensive vascular remodeling. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) has been reported to be effective in treating arteriosclerosis, while little is known about its effect on systolic blood pressure and vascular remodeling. In this study, the effects of GSPE o...
متن کاملProtective effect of the grape seed proanthocyanidin extract in a rat model of contrast-induced nephropathy.
AIM Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. Although it is so common, there has been no approved therapy yet. We aimed to investigate the effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on preventing CIN. MATERIALS AND METHODS 24 rats were divided into four groups as control group, GSPE group, contrast medium (CM) group, and CM+GSPE ...
متن کاملGrape seed proanthocyanidin extract protects lymphocytes against histone-induced apoptosis
Apoptosis of lymphocytes is associated with immunosuppression and poor prognosis in sepsis. Our previous report showed that histones, nuclear proteins released from damaged or dying cells in sepsis, can mediate lymphocyte apoptosis via mitochondria damage. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE), a natural substance with protective properties against oxidative stress, plays a vital role in c...
