Background and purpose:Paraoxon is the active form of parathion, which is an organophosphate pesticide (OP). The toxic effects of some OPs are not limited to inhibition of cholinesterase, they are capable to produce free radicals and induce disturbance in body antioxidant systems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of paraoxon on oxidative stress indexin the kidney of rat. ...
Background and purpose: Diazinon (Dz) is a widely used insecticide. It can cause nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity by induction of oxidative stress. Edaravone is a drug with antioxidant effect that is used in treatment of acute infraction disorders. In this study we used edaravone for ameliorating diazinon induced kidney and brain damage. Materials and methods: Twenty four male Wistar rats were...
Inflammation plays a critical role in kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury but mechanisms of increased proinflammatory cytokine expression are not completely understood. Kidney has a high expression of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) that can synthesize hydrogen sulfide. CBE and CSE are also responsible for the synthesis of cysteine, an essential precursor for gluta...
Glutathione is translocated out of cells; cells that have membrane-bound gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase can utilize translocated glutathione, whereas glutathione exported from cells that do not have appreciable transpeptidase enters the blood plasma. Glutathione is removed from the plasma by the kidney and other organs that have transpeptidase. Studies in which mice and rats were treated with bu...
Background: Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose causes renal and hepatic injury. It is also believed that oxidative stress has a pivotal role in APAP-induced renal injury. Therefore, protective effects of different antioxidants have been examined in APAP-induced renal and hepatic toxicity models. Stevia rebadiana is a plant with a high degree of natural antioxidant activity in its leaf extract. T...
We studied the catalytic hydrolysis of glutathione by human liver -y-glutamyltransferase [(y-glutamyl)-peptide:amino acid -y-glutamyltransferase, EC 2.3.2.21. Glutamate production from glutathione was maximal at pH 7.4 (37 #{176}C). Kinetically, the liver enzyme is similar to human kidney ‘y-glutamyltransferase: their respective Km values with glutathione as substrate are similar (0.096 X iO mo...
Effect of cigarette smoke on lipid peroxidation (LPX) and antioxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in various organs like brain, heart, lung, liver and kidney of the albino rats exposed to cigarette smoke for 30 min/day for a period of 30 days were assayed. It was observed that the lipid peroxide lev...
Ischemia-reperfusion is a common cause for acute kidney injury and can lead to distant organ dysfunction. Glutathione is a major endogenous antioxidant and its depletion directly correlates to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The liver has high capacity for producing glutathione and is a key organ in modulating local and systemic redox balance. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism by...
Introduction: Bromobenzene is an environmental toxin whose metabolites cause renal toxicity. The mechanism involved in toxicity includes oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of berberine against bromobenzene-induced renal toxicity in male NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, subjects were divided into five groups. Group I...
