[ 1 ] - Improvement of Tissue Survival of Skin Flaps by 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase
Background: Skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. In a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. In the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...
[ 2 ] - ATP-dependent potassium channels are implicated in simvastatin pretreatment-induced inhibition of apoptotic cell death after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury
Background: Simvastatin is a widely used medication in cardiac care. Here we evaluate the role of ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in simvastatin induced renal protection after renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods: A total of 81 male Wistar rats, were treated with simvastatin (10 and 20mg/kg/day gavage, one week). Some groups received glibenclami...
