we investigated the vasodilatory effect of isoprenaline at large vessels (aorta, renal ans saphenous arteries, vena cava, renal and saphenous veins) in doxorbicin-induced model of heart failure. thirty saline-treated (normal group) and thirty doxorubicin treated rabbits (1 mg/kg administered intravenously twice weekly for 8 weeks) were studied after 16 weeks of treatment. chronic heart failure ...

most frequently asked questions is what they should eat. Ms Karina Knight-Sepulveda, Dr Susan Kais, Dr Rebeca Santaolalla, and Dr Maria T. Abreu explore diets commonly recommended to IBD patients—such as the low–fermentable oligosaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide, and polyol diet; the specific carbohydrate diet; the anti-inflammatory diet; and the Paleolithic diet—and review the data curr...

objective(s) doxorubicin (dox), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent can give rise to serve cardiotoxicity by inducing apoptosis. curcumin, the active compound of the rhizome of curcuma longa l. has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities. curcumin has been identified to increase cytotoxicity in several cancer cell lines in combination with dox, but there is no study ab...

Previous studies have demonstrated that Homer1b/c plays an important pro-apoptotic role through classical mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The present study was undertaken to determine the expression and functional significance of Homer1b/c in multiple myeloma (MM). We found that Homer1b/c was lowly expressed in MM cell apoptotic model induced by doxorubicin. The positive role of Homer1b/c in c...

Attempts have been made to prepare nanoparticles based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and doxorubicin. Biological evaluation and physio-chemical characterizations were performed to elucidate the effects of initial drug loading and polymer composition on nanoparticle properties and its antitumor activity. PLGA nanoparticles were formulated by sonication method. Lactide/glycolide ratio ...

.a simple spectrofluorimetric method is described for the determination of doxorubicin (dxr) based on its quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of tb 3+ - deferasirox (dfx) complex as a fluorescent probe. the excitation and emission wavelengths were 328 and 545 nm, respectively. the effects of ph, time, order of addition of reagents, concentrations of tb 3+ and dfx and the buffer volum...

Doxorubicin is cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic drug used in cancer treatment. The drug’s efficacy various kinds of made its usage dominant for treating cancers. In this study, we determined the solubility doxorubicin three different polymers, i.e., poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide), polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, to increase doxorubicin’s on targeted tumor site. We investigated ...
