Objective: There is evidence that gestational exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in fetal zinc deficiency, and eventually neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In this study, we utilized a rat model of maternal immune activation (MIA) to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of zinc supplementation throughout pregnancy on hippocampal astrocytes activation as well as inflammatory...

We presents results of a study on endometritis modeling in rats with double intravaginal administration bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The established endometrial inflammatory process was accompanied by decrease the weight animals, an increase uterus, neutrophilic infiltration, edema, and overexpression cyclooxygenase endometrium 30-45 days after start induction. Local use plasma enriched ...

nigella sativa (ns) ( ranunculaceae ) used as a protective and therapeutic traditional medicine. this study evaluates the effect of ns on inflammation-induced myocardial fibrosis, serum and tissue inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress status in male rats. fifty male wistar rats were divided into five groups: (1) control; (2) lipopolysaccharide (lps), 1 mg/kg/day; (3) lps + ns (hydroalcohol...

background: myocardial dysfunction is one of the major complications in patients with sepsis where there is a relationship between the blood level of cytokines and the onset of myocardial depression. in many cases of sepsis, the presence of lipopolysaccharide (lps) has been established. lps binding protein (lbp) bound endotoxin is recognized by cd14/toll-like receptor-4 (tlr4) complexes in inna...

Objective(s): We aimed to investigate the influence of transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) on lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS) preterm delivery mice. Materials and Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to the four groups: an unpregnant group, a mid-pregnancy group (E15), a term delivery group, and an LPS-induced preterm delivery group (intraperitoneal injection LPS at 15 days). Uterin...

It has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays key roles in the inflammation process. Imbalance in the oxidant-antioxidant system is one of the major causes of inflammation. In the present study, the effects of captopril on total and differential WBC, oxidative stress in systemic inflammation produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. The rats were divided to: cont...

Inflammation caused by the excessive secretion of inflammatory mediators in abnormally activated macrophages promotes many diseases along with oxidative stress. Loganin, a major iridoid glycoside isolated from Cornus officinalis, has recently been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, whereas underlying mechanism not yet fully clarified. Therefore, aim present study is ...

Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition characterized by the production of autoantibodies to cellular and nuclear self-antigens, with damage multiple organs. Immunization SLE autoantigen β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces a murine model generation antigens. LPS both inflammatory cytokines type interferons (IFNs) signaling throug...

The aim of the current study was to investigate influence low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure on viability parameters oral mucosa keratinocytes cultured in vitro conditions. effect LF-EMF stimulation cell also specified simultaneous presence lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infectious agent or minocycline (Mino) anti-inflammatory agent. Viability such as early-, late apoptosis and nec...
