Assessment of liver phagocytic activity using EPR spectrometry and imaging.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging in assessing the phagocytic activity of the liver after administration of India ink. We conducted experiments on livers from control rodents and from rodents in which the Kupffer cell population had been depleted by pretreatment with gadolinium chloride. The EPR signal i...
متن کاملHistopathological effects of quercetin on liver tissue damage induced by iron oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles in Wistar rats
Introduction: Industrial and environmental pollution, excessive iron supplementation and blood transfusion are among the factors that may cause iron toxicity. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the mechanisms influencing or protecting against iron toxicity. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of quercetin as an antioxidant on hepatotoxicity induced by iron oxide an...
متن کاملGlucosamine Conjugated Gadolinium (III) Oxide Nanoparticles as a Novel Targeted Contrast Agent for Cancer Diagnosis in MRI
Background: Glucose transporter (Glut), a cellular transmembrane receptor, has a key role in the metabolism of cell glucose and is also associated with various human carcinomas.Objective: In this study, we evaluated a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent for tumor detection based on paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) coated polycyclodextrin (PCD) and mod...
متن کاملEvaluation of superparamagnetic iron oxide for MR imaging of liver injury: proton relaxation mechanisms and optimal MR imaging parameters.
PURPOSE To investigate the proton relaxation mechanisms and the optimal MR imaging parameters in superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced MR imaging of liver injury. METHODS A liver injury model was created in the rat using carbon tetrachloride. The T1 and T2 relaxation effects of SPIO in normal and injured liver were estimated by ex vivo relaxometry. In vivo laser confocal microscopy of ...
