Contractile failure of myocardial cells is a common cause of mortality in ischemic heart disease. In response to hypoxic conditions, cells upregulate the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and express a number of genes encoding proteins that either enhance O (2)delivery or increase
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the preventive effect of L-arginine (ARG) and carnosine (CAR) on hypoxia-induced neurotoxicity in rats. The impact on neuro-inflammation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and the brain levels of monoamines and GABA were Perinatal hypoxia-ischemia brain damage (HIBD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates, and there is currently no effective therapy for HIBD. Carnosine plays a neuroprotective role in adult brain damage. We have previously demonstrated that carnosine pretreatment protects against
Adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia causes increases in the carnosine content in rat liver mitochondria. Model experiments showed that carnosine added to isolated rat liver mitochondria increases the rate of ADP-stimulated respiration with alpha-ketoglutarate (but not with succinate) as well as the
The effect of carnosine (15 mM) on the contractile activity of isolated rat hearts contracting in an isotonic regime (37 degrees C at a 5 Hz stimulation frequency) has been studied. Carnosine added to the perfusing solution had no effect on the contractile activity either in hypoxia or during
Perinatal hypoxia-ischemia brain injury is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates and lacks an effective treatment thus far. Carnosine has been demonstrated to play a neuroprotective role in the adult brain injuries. However, there is no information available concerning its
In recent years considerable attention has been given to the use of natural substances as anticancer drugs. The natural antioxidant dipeptide L-carnosine belongs to this class of molecules because it has been proved to have a significant anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. Previous
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of camosine on the injury of rat vascular endothelial cells(VECs) induced by hypoxia.
METHODS
The model of the injury of rat VECs induced by hypoxia was established. The effect of camosine on injury of VECs activity induced by hypoxia was determined by MTT assay.
The synthesis, physico-chemical, and biological characterisation of a short series of carnosine amides bearing NO-donor nitrooxy functionalities are described. The NO-donor carnosine analogues and their des-NO derivatives display carnosine-like properties, differing from the lead for their high
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with complex pathophysiological changes characterized by pH imbalance, the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products acrolein and 4-hydroxy trans-2-nonenal, and the depletion of ATP levels. Cardioprotective interventions,
Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a natural dipeptide widely and abundantly distributed in excitable tissues of several animal tissues. Although its physiological role has not been completely understood yet, many beneficial actions have been attributed to carnosine, such as being an antioxidant,
The novel synthetic derivative of carnosine, (S)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carbonyl-β-alanyl-L-histidine (S-Trolox™-Carnosine, STC) increases the resistance of rats to experimental acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) thus protecting brain from the oxidative damage. This effect is accompanied
We propose the use of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to investigate metabolite fluxes in the mammalian liver during cold hypoxia. Rat livers were flushed with one of four different preservation solutions and stored on ice in the same solution. The preservation solutions were:
This study was designed to address the reasons why glycolysis in mammalian liver is unable to function more efficiently during periods of cold hypoxia. Our hypothesis was that control of intracellular pH, by use of amino acid buffers with high pKa values, would allow prolonged flux through
