Airborne exposure to lung-toxic agents may damage the lung surfactant system and epithelial and endothelial cells, resulting in a life-threatening pulmonary edema that is known to be refractory to treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate in rats (1) the respiratory injury caused by
Sepsis is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute lung injury. Oxidative stress plays as important role in such injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects that the potent antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has on renal and pulmonary function in rats with sepsis. Rats,
BACKGROUND
Acetylcysteine is a safe and effective treatment for the prevention of hepatic injury due to acetaminophen poisoning. While dosing errors are common, in most cases, overdoses produce minimal clinical effects.
METHODS
We describe a patient who received 150 g of IV acetylcysteine over 32 h
Antinociceptive anti-inflammatory drugs have many adverse effects. The goal of this investigation is to study the probable anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of verapamil and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in experimental rats.Adult male Wistar rats were Persistent breeding-induced endometritis is ranked as the third most common medical problem in the adult mare and leads to enormous economic loss in horse breeding. In mares suffering from persistent breeding-induced endometritis, increased amounts of intrauterine (i.u.) fluid or viscous mucus in
Acute acetaminophen intoxication in the cat was studied to characterize the antidotal profile of acetylcysteine. Toxicosis was associated with cyanosis, hyperventilation, depression, and facial edema. Abnormal laboratory findings were methemoglobinemia and elevated serum glutamic-pyruvic
Oxygen radicals are formed by the endothelium and blood cells and have specific functions in various organs systems. On the level of the microcirculation, oxygen radicals take part in the regulation of the leukocyte-endothelial interaction. The involvement of oxygen radicals has previously been
Cerebrovascular diseases of ischemic origin still remain the leading cause of death and disability of the population. In acute cerebral discirculation conditions, anaerobic glycolysis is activated, ATP formation rate decreases, the ion pumps work is disrupted and superoxide radicals are formed.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the beneficial effect of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on pancreatic microvascular perfusion in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).
METHODS
Fifty-four rats were divided into a control group, an ANP group and an NAC-treated group. The ANP model was established by a retrograde
Oxidative stress and inflammatory processes generate edema in burns. Treatment of consequent hypovolemia is a challenge. The aim of study was to assess if glutathione pro-drug N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can influence inflammation and fluid requirement. We also aimed to compare organ functions scores and
Continued elucidation of the mechanisms of brain edema in acute liver failure (ALF) has established ammonia and the astrocyte as major players in its pathogenesis. The metabolism of ammonia to glutamine appears to be a requisite, and is followed by an osmotic disturbance in the brain, mitochondrial
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine, a free radicals scavenger has a protective effect against lung injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.
METHODS
Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group
Respiratory complications are major factors contributing to death in acute pancreatitis. However, the mechanisms of these pulmonary complications are not completely elucidated. We studied the effects of pretreatment with purified crotapotin (a phospholipase A2 inhibitor), N-acetylcysteine (a
BACKGROUND
Nitrates are superior to furosemide in the management of acute pulmonary edema associated with myocardial infarction; however, their role in the absence of infarction is unclear.
RESULTS
A randomized comparison was undertaken of the relative effectiveness of primary therapy with either
OBJECTIVE
To investigate liver injury after brain-death in BA-Ma mini pigs and the protective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on hepatic function and on nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB mRNA and protein expression.
METHODS
Fifteen Ba-Ma mini pigs were equally divided into three groups at random:
