It has become increasingly obvious that free radicals and lipid peroxidation contribute to brain damage from trauma by mediating edema formation and ischemia. It should, therefore, be expected that the actual level of endogenous antioxidants, as for example, vitamin C and E in plasma, has an
The effects of baicalein, a flavonoid, and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) on lipid peroxidation in rat forebrain homogenates, on free radical scavenging action against diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema in mice were studied. Baicalein
BACKGROUND
Inflammation-induced disease as seen with trauma and infection can lead to increased lung oxidant activity resulting in cell membrane lipid peroxidation. Acute zymosan-induced peritonitis in rats produces lung inflammation, edema, and lipid peroxidation. We determined whether administered
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to examine the neuroprotective effects of α-tocopherol against edema formation and disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) following transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
METHODS
Ninety-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 major groups (n = 32
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to provide evidence that free radical damage is a component of retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and to determine whether alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol and d-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) can protect the retina from
The clinical use of bleomycin in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas, lymphomas and testicular tumours has been limited by its toxic effects, the most serious being pulmonary injury. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether alpha-tocopherol, incorporated in liposomes and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether high-dose alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) could reduce vision loss and retinal thickening associated with uveitis-associated cystoid macular edema.
METHODS
A double-masked, randomized study.
METHODS
Uveitis patients with macular edema seen at the NIH were randomized and
Head trauma with contusion or cortical laceration and hemorrhage causes focal edema with encephalomalacia and gliosis. Because cerebral hemorrhage ultimately results in deposition of heme compounds and iron into the neuropil, we injected an aqueous solution of iron salts to simulate the
Phorbol-myristate acetate (PMA) is commonly used to produce experimental edema and other tissue injuries in the lung. Lung injuries induced by the administration of PMA has been shown to be mediated mainly by neutrophils. Neutrophils recruited to the lower respiratory tract may damage lung tissues
To know the mechanism underlying ischemic brain edema, a time-course analysis of the eicosanoid synthetic capacity of brain microvessels was carried out using unilateral, middle cerebral artery (MCA)-occluded rats. Concomitant with the development of brain edema the synthetic capacity of all
Incomplete global cerebral ischemia was induced by clamping the bilateral common carotid arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and blood reperfusion was allowed by declamping the arteries after indicated times. To investigate the possible role of lipid peroxidation which causes
BACKGROUND
Neurite outgrowth inhibitor-A (Nogo-A), myelin-associated glycoprotein, and oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein are three myelin-associated proteins that act as inhibitors to central nervous system regeneration. Neurite outgrowth inhibitor-A imposes the strongest effect on inhibiting
Several incidences of adverse effects on human health have been reported in many countries, due to consumption of edible oil adulterated with argemone oil (AO). The clinical manifestation of the disease is commonly referred to as epidemic dropsy. In the present study, we determined the relationship
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the protective action of alpha-tocopherol in ischemia/reperfusion injuries of pelvic member of rats.
METHODS
Thirty adult male rats of the Wistar strain were randomized into three experimental groups of 10: Group I--control group with no ischemia or reperfusion. Groups II and
Aims: This study was aimed to develop Isotretinoin (ITN) and α-tocopherol acetate (α-TA) loaded solid lipid nanoparticle topical gel for better skin sensitivity and potentiation of efficacy.Methods: ITN and α-TA loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (AE-SLN) were prepared by microemulsion
