Although titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TDO-ns) are extensively used in the food, medicine, and cosmetic industries, discussions about the possible hazards of nanomaterials are just beginning to emerge. This study aimed to detect the inflammatory stress, oxidative stress, and apoptotic cell death
The effect of dipeptide carnosine on proteolytic processes accompanying inflammation was investigated in lacrimal fluid of patients with eyeball contusion. Eye drops containing 5% carnosine in combination with traditional treatment reduced elastase-like activity in lacrimal fluid and increased
In 1970 Nagai and associates discovered the granulation promotive effect of L-carnosine. Its effective dosage roughly corresponds to 1/35 of what is naturally contained in the m. gastrocnemius of experimental rats, as little as 20 mg/kg IP being effective. Its works synergically with cortisone in
This study aimed to investigate the role of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway in the anti-inflammatory effects of zinc carnosine (ZnC) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Cells were pretreated with ZnC (0-100 μM) for 2 h prior to the addition of LPS (1
Traumatic brain injury in the pediatric population can have a great economic and emotional impact on both the child's family and society.
The present study aimed to compare the effects of carnosine (CAR) and/or cyclosporine A (CyA) on oxidative brain damage after closed head injury (CHI) in immature
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. A growing body of research focuses on the role of microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain, in modulating brain inflammation and oxidative stress. One of the most abundant
Carnosine is a biologically active dipeptide that is found in fish and chicken muscle. Recent studies have revealed that carnosine has neuroprotective activity in zinc-induced neural cell apoptosis and ischemic stroke. In the present study, we examined the expression of carnosine in the spinal cord,
Mice treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were used to examine the neuroprotective effects of carnosine. Carnosine at 0.5, 1, and 2 g/L was directly added to the drinking water for 4 weeks. MPTP treatment significantly depleted striatal glutathione content, reduced the
BACKGROUND
Zinc L-carnosine (ZnC) is a chelate of Zn and L-carnosine and is used clinically in the treatment of peptic ulcer.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we aim to investigate the involvement of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the anti-inflammatory effects of ZnC in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide, and the incidence and mortality rates of cancer are expected to rise tremendously in the near future. Despite a better understanding of cancer biology and advancement in cancer management, current strategies in cancer treatment remain costly and
Several studies demonstrated the pharmacological actions of carnosine as well as hyaluronic acid (HA) during joint inflammation. In that regard, the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of a new HA -Carnosine conjugate (FidHycarn) on the modulation of the inflammatory response
Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide composed of β-alanine and L-histidine. This naturally occurring molecule is present at high concentrations in several mammalian excitable tissues such as muscles and brain, while it can be found at low concentrations in a few invertebrates. Carnosine has been
Carnosine is a natural endogenous dipeptide widely distributed in mammalian tissues, existing at particularly high concentrations in the muscles and brain and possesses well-characterized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In an in vitro model of macrophage activation, induced by
Several epidemiological studies have clearly shown the high co-morbidity between depression and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Different studies have been conducted to identify the common pathophysiological events of these diseases such as the overactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
OBJECTIVE
Lipoxidation-derived reactive carbonyl species (RCS) such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) react with proteins to form advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), which have been implicated in both atherosclerosis and renal disease. L-carnosine acts as an endogenous HNE scavenger, but it is
