OBJECTIVE
The authors sought to determine the effect of genistein, a naturally occurring protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in a model of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the rat retina.
METHODS
Ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by temporary optic nerve ligation. A dose of 0.034 mg, 0.34 mg, and
The treatment for intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has drawn great attention and recent studies have revealed that the p38 MAPK pathway is a potential therapeutic target for delaying the degeneration of intervertebral discs. In this study, we analyzed a nature-derived protein tyrosine kinase
Genistein has high estrogenic activity. Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of estrogen or hormone replacement therapy on muscle mass and muscle atrophy.
We investigated the preventive effects and underlying mechanisms of genistein on muscle atrophy.
In Expt. 1, male Wistar rats were fed
Oxidative stress has been reported to be closely associated with the development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). IDD is one of the major causes of low back pain. Genistein (GES), one of the main isoflavones of soybean, has been shown to exert multiple biological functions on different
Genistein, an isoflavonoid phytoestrogen, has been known for its potential pharmacological properties especially for neuroprotection and treating diabetes. The present study aims to determine the neuroprotective efficacy of genistein against global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion-induced neuronal
Altered cholesterol metabolism is believed to play a causal role in major pathophysiological changes in neurodegeneration. Several studies have demonstrated that the absence of apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a predominant apolipoprotein in the brain, leads to an increased susceptibility to
Oxidative stress and mitochondria dysfunction could be involved in the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and in its progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Estrogens/phytoestrogens could counteract liver fat deposition with beneficial effects against NAFLD The effect of protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) on L-type calcium channels in cultured retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) from rats with retinal dystrophy was investigated. Barium currents through Bay K 8644 (10(-6) M) sensitive L-type channels were measured using the patch-clamp technique. The current
The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of melatonin and genistein on radiation-induced nephrotoxicity (RIN). A total of 70 Swiss Albino mice were divided into 7 groups. Five control groups were defined, which were sham irradiation (C, G1), radiation therapy only (RT, G2), melatonin
OBJECTIVE
The quality of life in postmenopause is seriously affected by the symptoms related to vaginal atrophy. To evaluate in a 3-month, prospective, randomized, double blind, study whether vaginal suppositories containing genistein might improve genital symptoms, colposcopical and cytologic
Mucopolysaccharidoses are autosomal and recessive lysosomal storage disorders caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme involved in glycosaminoglycan catabolism. The Sanfilippo type A disease (MPS III A) results from sulfamidase deficiency, which leads to accumulation of heparan sulfate,
To evaluate the impact of dietary exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during the sensitive period of brain sexual differentiation, maternal Sprague-Dawley rats were fed three representative chemicals, methoxychlor (MXC; 24, 240, and 1200 ppm), genistein (GEN; 20, 200, and 1000 ppm), or
This study investigated a phytoestrogen-rich herb formula, Xianlinggubao (XLGB) (including genistein 510 microg/g and daidzein 2500 microg/g), concerning prevention of OVX-induced deterioration of musculoskeletal tissues in 11-month-old female Wistar rats, which were randomized into Sham, OVX, and
Bone is a dynamic tissue that undergoes constant remodeling, with removal by osteoclastic bone resorption and replacement via osteoblastic bone formation and mineralization. Deterioration of bone mass with aging leads to osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of osteoclastic bone
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disorder and is characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Oxidative stress has also been linked with the progression of PD, hence the involvement of a natural plant product
