The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of aspirin (AS) and vitamin C (VC) against cardiac damage induced by chronic corn syrup (CS) consumption via a mechanism involving sirtuin-1 (ST-1), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and the caspase-3 pathway in rats.
Forty male
Pregnant mice were exposed to 100 mg/kg 2,4,5-T, IG, on gestation days 6 through 17, and sacrificed on postpartum day 1 or 21. Toxicologic evaluation showed no changes in body weight, heart weight, heart to body weight ratio, or cardiac supernate protein between corn oil control and 2,4,5-T treated
Female rats (SIV-50, Sprague Dawley) given a diet enriched with corn oil (10% and 25% addition to rat chow, w/w) for four weeks showed changes in the energy metabolism of heart, liver and kidneys, that is, changes in oxygen consumption and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation of heart, liver and
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been shown to cause cardiovascular toxicity via oxidative stress and inflammation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the protective effects of melatonin (MLT) against HFCS-induced endothelial and cardiac dysfunction via oxidative stress and inflammation.
Polychlorinated biphenyls are one of the environmental toxicants and neurotoxic compounds which induce the production of free radicals. Creatine kinase plays a key role in energy metabolism of nervous tissue and might be one of the targets for reactive oxygen species. Melatonin, an indoleamine,
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), in the form of marine oils, contain a large proportion of n-3 long chain fatty acids and have been recommended as a dietary supplement for patients with ischaemic heart disease. It has also been suggested that consumption of diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty
OBJECTIVE
Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) are a family of ubiquitin-related, proteins that are involved in a wide variety of signaling pathways. SUMOylation, as a vital post translational modification, regulate protein function in manycellular processes. Diazinon (DZN), an organophosphate
We have investigated the effect of elevated n-3 (omega-3) fatty acid content in the diet on arrhythmias, ischemic damage, and inflammatory cell infiltration into the reperfused left ventricular free wall (LVFW). Weanling rats were fed purified diets in which the lipid was replaced with either corn
OBJECTIVE
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a broad-spectrum anticancer drug with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Probucol has been reported to completely prevent DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. The aim of the present study was to determine the possible effect of probucol pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of DOX
The main food mutagens found in cooked meat products are heterocyclic amines. The formation of these heterocyclic amines has been shown to require three classes of precursors: (i) creatine/creatinine, (ii) free amino acids or dipeptides, and (iii) sugar. The mutagen forming reactions were
Capparis spinosa L. has many biological effects such as antioxidant properties. In the present study, we compared the effects of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Capparis spinosa fruit, quercetin (Q), and vitamin E (Vit E) on monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced toxicity. The following
Anticholinesterase poisoning is an important health problem in our country, and a complete understanding of its underlying mechanisms is essential for the emergency physician. Thus, we aimed to investigate the cardiac biochemical parameters and mortality in dichlorvos-induced poisoning in rats. Rats
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of maternal Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) exposure on male offspring and to explore the mechanism of changes with the metabolic alterations and differential genes. Pregnant female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intragastrically administered
Young male rats were fed diets containing 20 per cent fat in the form of soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, or hydrogenated shortening, and their vitamin E status was assessed for twenty-seven weeks. On the basis of growth rate, in vitro red cell hemolysis, plasma creatine phosphokinase activity,
Rats were fed lard-enriched (17%) or corn oil-enriched (17%) diets and were compared with rats fed a low fat (4.5%) diet. Cardiac protein, DNA, phospholipid (PL) and fatty acid (FA) compositions were analyzed. Neutral phospholipase A, lysophospholipase and creatine kinase activities in the membrane
