Specific Conditions for Resveratrol Neuroprotection against Ethanol-Induced Toxicity
Aims. 3,5,4'-Trihydroxy-trans-stilbene, a natural polyphenolic compound present in wine and grapes and better known as resveratrol, has free radical scavenging properties and is a potent protector against oxidative stress induced by alcohol metabolism. Today, the mechanism by which ethanol exerts its toxicity is still not well understood, but it is generally considered that free radical generat...
متن کاملDifferential effects of ethanol antagonism and neuroprotection in peptide fragment NAPVSIPQ prevention of ethanol-induced developmental toxicity.
NAPVSIPQ (NAP), an active fragment of the glial-derived activity-dependent neuroprotective protein, is protective at femtomolar concentrations against a wide array of neural insults and prevents ethanol-induced fetal wastage and growth retardation in mice. NAP also antagonizes ethanol inhibition of L1-mediated cell adhesion (ethanol antagonism). We performed an Ala scanning substitution of NAP ...
متن کاملPharmacological evidence for lithium-induced neuroprotection against methamphetamine-induced neurodegeneration via Akt-1/GSK3 and CREB-BDNF signaling pathways
Objective(s): Neurodegeneration is an outcome of Methamphetamine (METH) abuse. Studies have emphasized on the neuroprotective properties of lithium. The current study is designed towards evaluating the role of Akt-1/GSK3 and CREB-BDNF signaling pathways in mediating lithium neuroprotection against METH-induced neurodegeneration in rats. Materials and ...
متن کاملInhibitory Effects of Resveratrol against Mitochondrial Toxicity Induced by Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Isolated Liver Mitochondria of Male Rats
Background and purpose: Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally polyphenolic compound found in grapes and other plant sources. It has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidative properties.The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol against Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) induced mitochondrial toxicity in isolated liver mitochondria. Materials and methods: Mitochondr...
متن کاملNeuronal networks provide rapid neuroprotection against spreading toxicity
Acute secondary neuronal cell death, as seen in neurodegenerative disease, cerebral ischemia (stroke) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), drives spreading neurotoxicity into surrounding, undamaged, brain areas. This spreading toxicity occurs via two mechanisms, synaptic toxicity through hyperactivity, and excitotoxicity following the accumulation of extracellular glutamate. To date, there are no ...
