in the present study,cardioprotective effect of aqueous extract of garcinia indica linn. fruit rinds in isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction in wistar albino rats was evaluated. in vitro total phenolic, total flavonoid content and 2, 2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate radical scavenging activity was measured. in vivo effect of aqueous extract of g. indica was evaluated in wistar albino ...

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Salidroside (SAL), one of the main effective constituents of Rhodiola rosea, has been reported to suppress oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte injury and necrosis by promoting transcription of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-regulated genes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H dehydrogen...

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...

Calcium disequilibrium is extensively involved in oxidative stress-induced neuronal injury. Although Homer1a is known to regulate several neuronal calcium pathways, its effects on, or its exact relationship with, oxidative stress-induced neuronal injury has not yet been fully elucidated. We found that Homer1a protected HT-22 cells from glutamate-induced oxidative stress injury by inhibiting fin...

objective(s):fuzheng huayu recipe (fzhy) exerts significant protective effects against liver fibrosis by strengthening the body’s resistance and removing blood stasis. however, the molecular mechanisms through which fzhy affects liver fibrosis are still unclear. in this study, we examined the expression levels of factors involved in the inhibitor κb kinase-β (ikk-β)/nuclear factor-κb (nf-κb) an...

Objective(s): Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a kind of complex immune disease, and a major cause of destruction of intestinal barrier and oxidative stress in this field. In this paper, glutamine (Gln) was believed to offer protection against oxidative stress injury in colitis mice.Materials and Methods: Thirty mice were randomly assigned int...

acute renal damage mainly develops following toxic or ischemic insults and is defined as acute. these damages have largely been attributed to oxidative stress. recently much attention has been directed toward decreased renal tubular cell regeneration during tubular cell injury. antioxidants have recently been the focus of researchers and scientists for prevention and treatment of various oxidat...

background: testicular torsion and detorsion causes reperfusion injury which damages the testicular tissue and affects the quality of sperm. deterioration in the quality of sperm worldwide is the recent scenario and one of its reasons is testicular ischemic/ reperfusion (ir) injury. therefore the present study aims at producing new drugs for the treatment of testicular ir injury. methods: 42 an...

introduction: during hemorrhagic shock (hs), the kidneys are one of the primary target organs involved. oxidative stress is shown to be enhanced in different models of acute kidney injury (aki). remote ischemic preconditioning (rpc) by brief limb ischemia is considered to be a safe method to protect different organs from further damage. in this study, we investigated the effects of brief hind l...
