In adrenalectomized female rats a single dose of 375 mg D-galactosamine.HCl per kg of body weight produces both hepatitis and generalized edema with ascites. These alterations depend upon the dose and the time interval after injection of the aminosugar. The effect is specific for D-galactosamine;
Dextran (600 mg/kg i.p.) and D-galactosamine (300 mg/kg s.c.)-induced edemas in the rat have been evaluated and compared on the basis of hemodynamic, biochemical and morphological investigations. The genesis of the edema induced by dextran was quicker (1-3 hr) than that induced by D-galactosamine.
Multiple extrapulmonary organ system failures increase mortality, permeability edema, and alveolar inflammation during gram-negative sepsis because of abnormal regulation of host inflammatory responses. We tested the hypothesis that acute hepatocytic injury induced by the selective hepatotoxin,
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of ACY1215 (Rocilinostat), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, against brain edema in mice with acute liver failure. Methods: Lipopolysaccharide combined with D-galactosamine was used to establish a mouse model of acute liver failure, and ACY1215 was used
Recent studies have suggested an association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and the development and progression of acute liver failure. To investigate the role of TNF-alpha in the mechanism of massive hepatic necrosis, we studied a mouse model of TNF-alpha and D-galactosamine (GalN)
BACKGROUND
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is a devastating disease. When coma sets in, brain edema develops, changing FHF into a lethal condition. Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment. However, a third of these patients die as the result of brain edema before a donor becomes available.
Cerebral edema is a feared complication to acute liver failure (ALF), but the pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The water channels Aquaporin-1 (Aqp1) and -4 (Aqp4) has been associated with brain edema formation in several neuropathological conditions, indicating a possible role of Aqp1 and/or
Palmatine is an isoquinoline alkaloid from Coptis chinensis, an herbal medicine used to treat various inflammatory diseases such as gastritis, edema and dermatitis. The present study examined the cytoprotective properties of palmatine on d(+)-galactosamine (GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced
With D-galactosamine hydrochloride severe hepatitis was induced in rats and the water content of cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem determined. The animals showed a parallel increase in cerebral water content and occurrence of cerebral symptoms.
In rats with D-galactosamine-induced hepatic failure, 14C-D-mannitol transport into the brain was accelerated through an increase of vesicular transport via the blood-brain barrier and thus brain mannitol contents increased. However, the osmolarity of the brain tissue changed little and the
Previously, we have shown that primary afferent sensory neurons are necessary for disease activity in T cell-mediated immune hepatitis in mice. In the present study, we analyzed the possible role of substance P (SP), an important proinflammatory neuropeptide of these nerve fibers, in an in vivo
Various fractions of the ethanol extract from the root wood of Cudrania cochinchinensis var. gerontogea (Moraceae) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects on carrageenan-induced edema and hepatoprotective activities on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced and D-galactosamine-(D-GalN)
The pharmacological effects of Boehmeria nivea and B. nivea subsp. nippononivea were studied against carrageenan-induced paw edema, acetaminophen (APAP) and D-galactosamine (D-GalN) induced hepatotoxicity in rats, respectively. Water extracts of B. nivea and B. nivea subsp. nippononivea roots were
Vatairea guianensis lectin (VGL), Dalbergiae tribe, is a N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc)/Galactose (Gal) lectin previously purified and characterized. In this work, we report its structural features, obtained from bioinformatics tools, and its inflammatory effect, obtained from a rat paw edema
