Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of solid organ cancers. Besides its chemotherapeutic effectiveness, cisplatin administration was associated with numerous side effects. Of these, the most clinically significant and common effect is OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is known to inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent apoptosis, on high glucose-induced ROS, apoptosis, inflammation, and delayed-wounding closure in primary cultured human conjunctival epithelial cells (pHCECs), and the
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 We examined the effect of ferulic acid (FA), a naturally occurring phenolic compound on lipid peroxidation and endogenous antioxidant status, DNA damage and inflammation in nicotine-administered Wistar rats. The effect of FA against nicotine toxicity was compared with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a
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
Activation of the resident macrophage populations of the reticuloendothelial system is a key component of the complex pathophysiology of sepsis. Macrophage activation leads to production and secretion of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, vasoactive substances, free radicals, and chemokines,
OBJECTIVE
Oxidative stress and inflammatory process play an important role in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We investigated whether deferoxamine (DFX) improves the antioxidant effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on primary cultures of dystrophic muscle cells from mdx mice, the
We report the effect of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in an acute inflammation model induced by carrageenan (CG) and compared this effect with those induced by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) alone and by the synergistic effect of NAC and AuNP together. Male Wistar rats received saline or saline
Purpose: Numerous preclinical studies have demonstrated the potential neuroprotective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the treatment of brain ischemia. Accordingly, the present study aimed to assess the potential therapeutic effects
BACKGROUND
Acetaminophen (APAP) is an analgesic and antipyretic agent. In overdoses, it is associated with nephrotoxicity. We examined the potential protective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and NAC + ozone therapy (OT) combination against APAP-induced nephrotoxicity.
METHODS
Thirty-two male
BACKGROUND
Previous studies have demonstrated the potential beneficial effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the required dose and responder phenotype remain unclear. The current study investigated the effect of high-dose NAC on airway geometry,
OBJECTIVE
Many of the pathological consequences in the lung following inhalation of asbestos fibres arise as a consequence of persistent oxidative stress and inflammation. Inflammatory responses can be observed in asymptomatic asbestos-exposed individuals. There are currently no interventions to
We investigated a possible role for N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a well-known antioxidant and free radical scavenger, against oxidative lung damage as observed in the in vivo model of paraquat-intoxicated rats. The administration of two ip doses of 50 mg/kg NAC to paraquat-intoxicated animals did not
OBJECTIVE
In severe sepsis, functional impairment and decreased numbers of dendritic cells (DCs) are essential reasons for immune function paralysis, secondary organ infection, and organ failure. We investigated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on protecting lung DCs function in
Increased oxidative stress and inflammation contribute to impaired walking capacity and endothelial dysfunction in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). The goal of the study was to determine the effects of oral treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on walking capacity, leg
