Protective effects of escin against water immersion and restraint stress-induced gastric ulcer in mice

Background: Escin was a natural mixture of triterpenoid saponin that was isolated from the seed of the horse chestnut. The previous study from our laboratory demonstrated that escin had a protective effect against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of escin on gastric mucosal lesions induced by water immersion and restraint stress (W...

Protective effect of ascorbic acid against oxidative stress induced by inorganic arsenic in liver and kidney of rat.

Ascorbic acid treatment in arsenic trioxide treated rats increased arsenic excretion, inhibited lipid peroxidation, improved GSH status, regulated GSSG turnover and also restored glutathione-S-transferases activity in liver and kidney. Suitable mechanisms leading to ascorbic acid protection have been discussed. Upregulation of GSH dependent enzymes was found to be necessary for a protective eff...

Protective Effect of Captopril against Doxorubicin-Induced Oxidative Stress in Isolated Rat Liver Mitochondria

      Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic that has been used for a long time in therapy of an array of human malignancies either alone or in combination with other cytotoxic agents. The dose-dependent cardiotoxicity of DOX significantly limits its anticancer efficacies. Oxidative stress caused by enhanced production of reactive oxygen species is an important contributor to DOX mito...
