The production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was investigated in uterine explants from normal, diabetic, or insulin-treated diabetic pregnant rats. Explants from diabetic rats released more soluble TNF-alpha than did those in the other groups. The extent of this secretion was correlated
BACKGROUND
Recently, the d-galactose (d-gal)-induced mimetic aging rat model has been widely used in studies of age-associated diseases, which have shown that chronic d-gal exposure induces premature aging similar to natural aging in rats. With the increasing rate of sepsis in the geriatric
Aging is a natural process that accompanied with progressive cognitive deficits and functional decline in organisms. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, exhibits antioxidative and anti-inflammatory abilities. Here, our study aimed to investigate the protective effects of aqueous extracts of
NADPH oxidase (NOX) has been identified as a crucial contender of oxidative damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the capability of diapocynin, a NOX inhibitor, to offer neuroprotection in AD models is still a matter of debate. Hence, the current work is dedicated to investigate the influence
Chitinase activity is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of chitinase1 in AD is unknown. We investigated the effects of chitinase1 on Alzheimer's pathology and microglia function. Artificial chitinase1 and chitinase inhibitor (chitinase-IN-2) were used to determine the effects
Though selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been found to increase cognitive performance in some studies on patients and animal models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), other studies have reported contradictory results, and the mechanism of action has not been fully described. This study
The neuroprotective effects of catalpol, an iridoid glycoside isolated from the fresh rehmannia roots, on the cholinergic system and inflammatory cytokines in the senescent mice brain induced by D-galactose were assessed. The results showed that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity increased in
Physiological aging is associated with a range of medical problems. However, the treatment of aging-associated diseases and prolonging human life are vital to our current aging societies. Panax ginseng, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been shown to have anti-oxidative and anti-aging effects. In
OBJECTIVE
To study the hepatoprotective effects of extracts from processed Corni Fructus against D-galactose-induced liver injury in mice.
METHODS
Acute liver injury model was established by D-galactose. The activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), superoxide
In the present study, we examined the effects of Dendropanax morbifera Léveille leaf extract (DML) on D-galactose-induced morphological changes in microglia and cytokines, including pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) and anti-inflammatory
UNASSIGNED
Aging is a multifactorial phenomenon, which attribute to different diseases and abnormalities in living systems. Oxidative stress, which is an important factor in aging, exacerbates this process via different mechanisms. Crocin (CR), one of the active components of saffron showed strong
Baicalein is a flavonoid isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. This study aimed to ascertain the effects and potential underlying mechanisms of baicalein in d-galactose (d-gal)-induced aging rat model by integration of behavior examination, biochemical detection, and 1H nuclear
As a good flavor enhancer, rapeseed peptide Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were developed, and the effects of MRPs on d-galactose induced aging Kunming mice were investigated for 6 weeks with low (200 mg kg-1 day-1), medium (400 mg kg-1 day-1) and high (800 mg kg-1 day-1) doses. Compared with the
Aging-related cholinergic dysfunction, extensive neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in brain are predominant pathogenic factors for dementia. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effects of piperine, an alkaloid nutrient component of Piper nigrum, against cognitive
Senescent thymic stromal cells (TSCs) producing senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) may play a role at later phases of thymic involution. However, the etiology and mechanisms responsible for TSC senescence remain to be elucidated. In the present study, the effects of oxidative stress on
