چکیده

positive role of niacin on serum lipid profile of rats treated with glucocorticoids (gcs) has been reported. this study aims to evaluate effect of niacin on bone changes in gc-induced dyslipidemic rats. a number of 28 growing rats divided into four groups and treated as control, methyl prednisolone (mp) group (3.5 mg/kg five days a week, sc); mpn group (mp + niacin 200 mg/kg/day orally) and mpa group (mp + alendronate 0.03 mg/kg/day, sc). after 4 weeks, serum lipid profile and histomorphometric parameters including trabecular width (tb.wi), trabecular separation (tb.sp) and number (tb.n), bone area/tissue area (b.ar/t.ar) and osteoid thickness (o.th) in metaphyseal side of growth plate of femoral head were determined. obvious dyslipidemia and decreased b.ar/t.ar and o.th were observed in mp group. niacin alleviated dyslipidemia, however mpn rats had appreciably lower tb.n and higher tb.sp as compared to mp group. alendronate had a moderate positive effect on bone changes. although niacin effectively ameliorates gc-induced dyslipidemia in growing rats, it may exacerbate bone changes.

Effects of iloprost on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats compared with methyl-prednisolone.

OBJECTIVE Prostacyclin (PGI2) has been shown to inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we aimed to test the preventive effects of intraperitoneally administered iloprost, a stable PGI2 analog, on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats and to compare the effects of iloprost with the effects of methyl-prednisolone, a tradi...

Niacin in Rats

We have previously reported that the administration of a large amount of di(n-blltyl)phthalftte (DBP) increased the conversion ratio of tryptophan to niacin in rats. In the present experiment, the effect of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) on the conyersion ratio and how altering the conversion ratio of tryptophan to niacin depended on the concentration of DEHP were inyestigated to elucidate th...

Pain exacerbates chronic mild stress-induced changes in noradrenergic transmission in rats.

Depression can influence pain and vice versa, yet the biological mechanisms underlying how one influences the pathophysiology of the other remains unclear. Dysregulation of locus coeruleus-noradrenergic transmission is implicated in both conditions, although it is not known whether this effect is exacerbated in cases of co-morbid depression and chronic pain. We studied locus coeruleus activity ...
