Acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) is more likely to be severe and complicated with extrapancreatic organ injury. NOX may be involved in the occurrence and development of high fat acute pancreatitis, but the specific mechanism is not clear.To We examined the possible genotoxicity of the recently isolated or developed anti-asthmatic and anti-inflammatory substances Apocynin (CAS 498-02-2) and Acetosyringenin (CAS 2478-38-8) using short term test systems. Apocynin is a constituent of Picrorhiza kurroa, a plant from the Himalaya region.
Inflammatory changes in the cerebral network are present in early mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer disease (AD), and aging brain. We intended to verify that these are likely due to an activation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Apocynin (APO)
We investigated the effects of apocynin on high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced insulin resistance in C57BL/6 mice. After 12 weeks of HFD, the mice that exhibited insulin resistance then received 5 weeks of apocynin (2.4 g/L, in water). Following apocynin treatment, fasting glucose, insulin, and glucose
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are among the crucial mediators in the development of the pathological inflammatory process in the lungs and contribute to the damage of lung epithelium. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of selected antioxidants or inhibitors of NADPH
Apocynin, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in ulcerative colitis. However, the underlying mechanism by which apocynin exerts this effect has not been clearly demonstrated. The objective of this study was to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of apocynin in
BACKGROUND
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor debilitation, which affects several million people worldwide. Recent evidence suggests that glial cell activation and its inflammatory response may contribute to the progressive
Renal failure is observed in the pathological progression of sepsis and septic shock. Renal mesangial cells (RMCs) have been implicated in renal failure as a result of producing mediators, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mitogen-activated
The study is aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of the treatment of apocynin in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. 5% DSS was used to mimic the UC model, and 2% apocynin was applied to treat the UC mice. HE staining was used for histopathological evaluation.
NADPH-oxidase is an enzyme responsible for reactive oxygen species production, and inhibition of this enzyme represents an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Apocynin, NADPH-oxidase inhibitor, in the modulation of
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary form of diabetes during pregnancy which influences the health of both mother and child. Both inflammation and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathophysiology of GDM. Apocynin, acetophenone with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition affecting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide annually. SCI results in activation of the inflammatory response and apoptosis, and generates oxidative stress, which has deleterious effects on the recovery of motor function. Apocynin, an
Apocynin, an inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase, is known to partially reverse the inflammation-mediated cartilage proteoglycan synthesis in chondrocytes. More recently, it was reported that apocynin prevents cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in monocytes. The present study aimed to investigate whether
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a devastating disease that commonly causes persistent mental disturbances and cognitive deficits. Although studies have indicated that overproduction of free radicals, especially superoxide (O2(-)) derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)
Various drugs have been developed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but still there are limitations in the treatment due to the insufficient responses and significant adverse effects of immunosuppressant. Apocynin is an NADPH-oxidase inhibitor with established safety profiles. We
