N-acetylcysteine abrogates acute lung injury induced by endotoxin.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome is a serious clinical problem with high mortality. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is an anti-oxidant and a free radical scavenger. It has been reported recently that NAC ameliorates organ damage induced by endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS)

Enhancement effects of hypercapnia on the acute lung injury caused by acid aspiration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acid aspiration or intrapulmonary instillation of gastric particles causes lung inflammation leading to acute lung injury (ALI). Hypercapnia exerts different effects on ALI caused by various insults. The effects of hypercapnia on lung inflammation and injury due to acid aspiration are yet to be

The involvement of nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase and proinflammatory cytokines in the acute lung injury caused by phorbol myristate acetate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) causes acute lung injury (ALI). The present study was designed to elucidate the role of nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), neutrophil elastase (NE) and other mediators in the ALI caused by PMA. In isolated rat's lungs, PMA at various doses (1, 2 and 4

Investigation of the proton relay system operative in human cystosolic aminopeptidase P.

Only registered users can translate articles

Aminopeptidase P, a metalloprotease, targets Xaa-Proline peptides for cleavage [1-4]. There are two forms of human AMPP, a membrane-bound form (hmAMPP) and a soluble cytosolic form (hcAMPP)[5]. Similar to the angiotensin-I-converting enzyme, AMPP plays an important role in the catabolism of

N-acetylcysteine attenuates the acute lung injury caused by phorbol myristate acetate in isolated rat lungs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) is characterized by pulmonary edema and inflammatory cells infiltration. PMA-activated neutrophils in vivo and in vitro to release free radicals, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide (NO) and other mediators. These mediators may

The protective effect of niacinamide on ischemia-reperfusion-induced liver injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

Reperfusion of ischemic liver results in the generation of oxygen radicals, nitric oxide (NO) and their reaction product peroxynitrite, all of which may cause strand breaks in DNA, which activate the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP ribose)synthase (PARS). This results in rapid depletion of intracellular

Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase attenuates acute endotoxin-induced lung injury in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) inhibitors S-methylisothiourea (SMT) and l-N(6)-(1-iminoethyl)-lysine (l-Nil) on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI), as well as the associated physiological, biomedical and pathological changes, in

Endotoxin-induced acute lung injury is enhanced in rats with spontaneous hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Acute lung injury (ALI), or acute respiratory distress syndrome, is a major cause of mortality in endotoxaemia. The present study tested whether the endotoxaemia-induced changes and associated ALI were enhanced in rats with established hypertension and to examine the possible mechanisms involved.

Nicotinamide abrogates acute lung injury caused by ischaemia/reperfusion.

Only registered users can translate articles

Poly (ADP-ribose) synthase or polymerase (PARS and PARP, respectively) is a cytotoxic enzyme which causes cellular damage. Nicotinamide, a compound of vitamin B complex, has been reported to exert an inhibitory effect on PARS or PARP. The present study tests the effects of nicotinamide on acute lung

Niacinamide abrogates the organ dysfunction and acute lung injury caused by endotoxin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Poly (ADP-ribose) synthabse (PARS) or polymerase (PARP) is a cytotoxic enzyme causing cellular damage. Niacinamide inhibits PARS or PARP. The present experiment tests the effects of niacinamide (NCA) on organ dysfunction and acute lung injury (ALI) following lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS was

Propofol exerts protective effects on the acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major culprit of mortality in endotoxemia. Propofol has been commonly used in critical ill patients for sedation. This experiment attempted to elucidate the effects and possible mechanisms of propofol on the ALI induced by endotoxin. Experimentations were carried out

The protective effect of curcumin on ischemia-reperfusion-induced liver injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Reperfusion of the ischemic liver results in the generation of oxidative and nitrosative stresses and reaction product of peroxynitrite, which induce rapid cytotoxicity and liver injury. In this study we demonstrated that curcumin, an antioxidant, attenuated ischemia/reperfusion

Endotoxin-induced acute lung injury and organ dysfunction are attenuated by pentobarbital anaesthesia.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Acute lung injury (ALI) as a result of sepsis is a major cause of mortality. Certain anaesthetic agents have been reported to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) activities. We investigated the effects of pentobarbital on ALI and organ functions
