Methyl palmitate (MP) and ethyl palmitate (EP) are naturally occurring fatty acid esters reported as inflammatory cell inhibitors. In the current study, the potential anti-inflammatory activity of MP and EP was evaluated in different experimental rat models. Results showed that MP and EP caused
Methyl palmitate (MP) has been shown earlier to inhibit Kupffer cells and rat peritoneal macrophages. To evaluate the potential of MP to inhibit the activation of other macrophages, RAW cells (macrophages of alveolar origin) were treated with varying concentrations of MP (0.25, 0.5, 1mM). Assessment
OBJECTIVE
The study is aimed to determine the beneficial effects of methyl palmitate (MP) which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects demonstrated on murine model of acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
METHODS
Forty male BALB/C mice were randomly allocated into four groups
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of local and systemic administration of methyl palmitate on the formation of epidural fibrosis.
METHODS
Twenty-eight rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (control, Spongostan, local methyl palmitate and orally methyl palmitate) and laminectomy was
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effects of methyl palmitate on murine model of chronic asthma.
METHODS
The experimental study was conducted in the animal laboratory of DokuzEylul University, Turkey, from October to December, 2012, and comprised BALB/c mice whowere divided into four equal groups: three
The effects of methyl palmitate (MP), a known inhibitor of Kupffer cells, were studied in a model of polymicrobial sepsis induced in CD-1 mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The inhibition of Kupffer cells by pretreatment with MP was shown by the reduced phagocytosis, the production of tumor
Anthopogenically introduced substances and pollutants are suspected to promote sensitization and development of allergic airway diseases, that is, acting as adjuvants. Lipophilicity may serve as an immunological warning signal, promoting adjuvant effects. Whether the lipophilicity of an inhaled
Acute liver injury is a debilitating disorder associated with loss of synthetic and detoxifying functions of the liver. This investigation was designed to assess cytoprotective efficacy of daily oral tiron (300 mg/kg) and daily oral methyl palmitate (300 mg/kg) against acetaminophen-induced acute
Silicosis is one of the most prevalent chronic occupational pulmonary diseases worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of methyl palmitate on silica-induced lung fibrosis in rats and explore the possible mechanisms. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: group I
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a frequently used anticancer and immunosuppressant although its use has been associated with severe cardiotoxicity. The present study examined the ability of methyl palmitate (MP) to counteract CP-induced cardiotoxicity.
Adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups.
Excessive drinking of alcohol has been frequently associated with gastric injury; however, its underlying molecular mechanisms have been inadequately investigated. Methyl palmitate (MP) has demonstrated marked hepato-, cardio- and pulmonary protective features; however, its effects on
Early detection and treatment of endometrial hyperplasia(EH) is mandatory for endometrial cancer prevention. Several bioactive agents of plant origin have been shown to elicit their chemotherapeutic effect against tumors and cancer via induction of mitochondrial permeability transition(mPT) pore
Fibrosis accompanies most chronic liver disorders and is a major factor contributing to hepatic failure. Therefore, the need for an effective treatment is evident. The present study was designed to assess the potential antifibrotic effect of MP and whether MP can attenuate the severity of oxidative
BACKGROUND
The present study investigated the potential of methanolic extract of Dicranopteris linearis (MEDL) leaves to attenuate liver intoxication induced by acetaminophen (APAP) in rats.
METHODS
A group of mice (n = 5) treated orally with a single dose (5000 mg/kg) of MEDL was first subjected to
Drug-induced liver injury is a major concern in clinical studies as well as in post-marketing surveillance. Previous evidence suggested that drug exposure during periods of inflammation could increase an individual's susceptibility to drug hepatoxicity. The antithyroid drugs, methimazole (MMI) and
