Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. At present the clinical use of NO donors as inhibitors of platelet activation is limited by their concomitant hypotensive effect. The new NO donor S-nitroso-glutathione (GSNO) has a significant antiplatelet effect at
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to elucidate the role of genetic variants on symptoms of the eyes and airways, headache and nausea, as well as on immunologic markers, among vulcanization workers in the contemporary Swedish rubber industry. Polymorphisms in genes, which are involved in the defense against
Migraine is considered to be a polygenic multifactorial disease with various environmental and genetic etiologies. We investigated glutathione S-transferase (GST) P1 Ile(105)Val, T1 and M1 polymorphisms in 174 Japanese headache sufferers and 372 Japanese controls. The headache group consisted of 38
Tension-type headache (TTH) is one of the most common and costly primary types of headache in clinical practice, with an unknown etiology. This study assessed to investigate oxidative and antioxidative status in patients with chronic tension-type headache (CTTH), and to evaluate possible effect of
BACKGROUND
Glutathione peroxidase (GP) can be used as a marker of oxidative stress in infectious diseases.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GP) and the manifestations and complications of dengue.
METHODS
Between April 2003 and December 2004, 161
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and chronic daily headache (CDH) in children. Although there are reports that oxidative injury may play a role in the pathophysiology of some neurologic disorders, such as migraine and epilepsy, by disrupting or
BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of migraine and other headaches is still unknown, and research is mostly done on neurotransmitter, biochemical and vascular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to examine the role of antioxidant enzymes in the pathophysiology of headache in the interictal period of
Migraine headaches are considered to be associated with increased mitochondrial energy metabolism. Mitochondrial oxidative stress is also important in migraine headache pathophysiology although riboflavin and selenium (Se) induced a modulator role on mitochondrial oxidative stress in the brain. The
The essential use of riboflavin is the prevention of migraine headaches, although its effect on migraines is considered to be associated with the increased mitochondrial energy metabolism. Oxidative stress is also important in migraine pathophysiology. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant in nature and
The present study investigated the pesticide induced adverse health effects, hematological and biochemical alterations among agriculture workers. A cross sectional study of 51 agriculture workers and 54 unexposed subjects was carried out to evaluate hematological and biochemical alterations in
Mefloquine is an effective antimalarial that can cause adverse neurological events including headache, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety and depression. In this study, we examined the oxidative stress response in primary rat cortical neurons treated with mefloquine by quantifying oxidative stress
OBJECTIVE
To explore the molecular mechanism of the formulae for calming the liver and suppressing YANG in migraine rat model with syndrome of hyperactivity of the liver-YANG.
METHODS
A rat model of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-YANG was established through electrical trigeminal ganglion
Nail biting is a common behavioral problem. While there are established behavioral interventions for management, they are of modest efficacy, and there is minimal evidence for effective pharmacotherapy. This study investigated the role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) a potent glutathione and glutamate
Evodia rutaecarpa is a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and headache. To assess the possible drug interactions, effects of methanol and aqueous extracts of E. rutaecarpa on drug-metabolizing enzymes, cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronosyl transferase
Oral oltipraz, as a single-dose treatment, was evaluated as a chemopreventive agent in 31 normal subjects. In a subset of subjects, the relationship between plasma oltipraz concentrations and the induction of lymphocyte glutathione (GSH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme levels was
