Protective effects of flavonoids from corn silk on oxidative stress induced by exhaustive exercise in mice

Protective effects of L-arginine supplementation against exhaustive exercise-induced oxidative stress in young rat tissues.

Recently, we showed that L-arginine (L-Arg) supplementation could attenuate acute exercise-induced oxidative and inflammatory stress in aging rats. In this study, we investigate whether L-Arg supplementation protects cellular oxidative stress, inflammation, or the mitochondrial DNA 4834-bp large deletion (mtDNA4834 deletion) in 14-week-old young rats tissues during exhaustive exercise. Rats wer...

Hepatoprotective effects of Ixora parviflora extract against exhaustive exercise-induced oxidative stress in mice.

Ixora parviflora, a species of the Rubiaceae, is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, and has been traditionally used as a folk medicine. An I. parviflora extract (IPE) has great antioxidant activity in vitro, including a scavenging effect on superoxide radicals, reducing power, and ferrous ion-chelating ability. However, whether IPE is efficacious against oxidative damage in vivo is not known. ...

Antioxidant response to oxidative stress induced by exhaustive exercise.

The aim of this work was to demonstrate the occurrence of oxidative stress during exhaustive exercise and to determine the antioxidant response. Eight voluntary male subjects participated in this study. The exercise was a cycling mountain stage (171 km) and the cyclists took a mean+/-S.E.M. time of 270+/-12 min to complete it. Blood samples were taken before the cycling stage, immediately after...

The Renal Protective Effects of Corn Silk and Feijoa by using in situ Rat Renal System

Background: Corn silk (CS) is widely used in Iranian traditional medicine and Feijoa sellowiana(FS) is a native plant widespread in the Southern parts of Iran. The aim of the present study was to assess renal protective activities of CS and FS against dosage induced injury by ecstasy (MDMA) using insitu rat renal perfusion (IRRP) system.Methods: Hydro-alcoholic extract of CS and FS (10, 20, 40 ...
