Under aquarium conditions, treatment with the herbicide paraquat (PQ) and with the insecticide methidation (MD) caused cell damage and stress in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), as shown by increases in glutamate-dehydrogenase (GIDH, EC 1.4.1.2), glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase (GOT, EC 2.6.1.1) and
Responses to i.v. injected E. coli endotoxin (E), followed by saline infusion, as compared with saline infusion alone, were studied for 24 h in 1-week-old calves. After administration of E, respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), rectal temperature (RT), serum iron, insulin, (I), cortisol and tumor
Trichilia roka Chiov. (Meliaceae) is a tree widely distributed in tropical Africa. It has been used in Mali folk medicine for the treatment of various illnesses. A decoction of the roots is taken as a remedy for colds and pneumonia, and it is used as a diuretic and in hepatic disorders. We have
No evidence for liver necrosis was observed at 24, 48 or 72 h after injection of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) (70 mg/kg, i.p.) to pigeons. The assessment of possible liver necrosis was made by determination of isocitric dehydrogenase (ICD), glutamate oxalacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate
Parameters related to hepatic oxidative stress, cell injury, phagocytic activity, and liver histology were studied in control rats and in animals subjected to L-3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) and/or lindane administration. Hyperthyroidism elicited a calorigenic response and increased rates of hepatic
In order to measure the changes in antioxidant levels and the composition of plasma-free fatty acids resulting from oxidative stress, male Fisher rats were given a twice weekly subcutaneous injection of a 50% solution of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in corn oil for a period of 2 to 13 weeks. The
1. The pathological features of Gram-positive shock can be mimicked by the co-administration of two cell wall components of Staphylococcus aureus, namely lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and peptidoglycan (PepG). This is associated with the expression of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
Dextromethorphan (DM), an antitussive agent, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in vitro. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LK-3, an analog of DM, on sepsis induced by intravenous (i.v.) administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 mg/ kg)
