OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of different approaches to establishing rat models of acute liver failure (ALF).
METHODS
Sixty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups for establishing ALF models using 3 different approaches, namely conventional hepatectomy for resecting 90%
Peanut agglutinin (PNA), a lectin with affinity for galactose-galactosamine disaccharides, has been employed to monitor alterations in carbohydrate expression in retinal degenerative (rd) mice. Mice homozygous for the rd gene exhibit a rapid loss of rod photoreceptor cells in the first postnatal
Present experiment was aimed to study whether 16, 16' dimethylprostaglandin E2 (dmPGE2), Hepatofalk (HF), or Orotofalk (OF) may prevent an acute liver damage induced in rats with D-galactosamine (GalN). Fifty male rats were divided into 5 groups: 1. controls, 2. rats receiving GalN 750 mg/kg b. w.
Peanut agglutinin, a lectin with high binding affinity for galactose-galactosamine disaccharide, was used to monitor changes in the photoreceptor cell layer of mice with inherited retinal degeneration. Mice homozygous for the retinal degeneration (rd) gene exhibit a rapid loss of rod photoreceptor
We studied protective effects of Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP) which is a permeable form of cyclic AMP (cAMP), the intracellular second messenger, on D-galactosamine (D-Gal, 1.5g/kg i.p.) induced acute liver failure. Experimental animals were divided into four groups: Group I; DBcAMP was
In rats of an inbred F344/DuCrj line, simultaneous injection of newly isolated intact splenic cells (derived from normal rats of the same strain) markedly modified and reduced the liver damage induced by treatment with D-galactosamine. When rats treated with D-galactosamine plus newly isolated
Repeated injections of D-galactosamine hydrochloride (GalN) increase the survival rate of Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats, an animal model of Wilson's disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of GalN for prevention of spontaneous lethal hepatic injury in LEC rats. Male
To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in hepatitis-induced endotoxemia, we injected mice intraperitoneally with 250 mg/kg galactosamine (GalN) and 1 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) separately and in combination. NO synthesis increased in a dose-dependent manner with LPS. NO generation at 5 hr
The pharmacological action and possible therapeutic uses of some recently developed synthetic, non-toxic dihydroquinoline-type antioxidants were studied. The effect of the lipid-soluble 6,6-methylene-bis (2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline) (n = 1, 2 or 3) (MTDQ) on carbon-tetrachloride-induced
Apoptosis induced by high doses of Galactosamine (GalN) was investigated in mice hepatocytes in vivo. In mice intraperitoneally (i.p.) treated with GalN 3 g/kg, the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells were first observed at 6 hr
An animal model for human chronic active hepatitis was created in inbred C-57 Black mice using prolonged (13 weeks) administration of D-Galactosamine (GalN) and adjuvants. Intraperitoneal injections of GalN (1,500 mg/kg) were repeated once a week. Simultaneously, Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of oxymatrine on experimental liver fibrosis and to reveal its mechanism.
METHODS
By establishing D-galactosamine-induced rat liver fibrosis model, we observed the effect of oxymatrine on serum and tissue biochemical indexes, content
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), a redox-sensor mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that activates p38 MAPK pathways in oxidative stress-induced hepatotoxicity in D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide (D-GalN/LPS) model, is a key central pathway in which specific
The short-term effect of the hepatotoxins allyl alcohol (AA) and D-galactosamine (GalN) was investigated in adult female rats. In addition, the curative effect of Hepasor, protoberberine extract from Enantia chlorantha was examined 3 days following traumatization. There was a significant increase in
The antinecrotic potential of a new drug, 3-palmitoyl-(+)-catechin (PC), which is a derivative of (+)-cyanidanol-3, was studied in two different experimental models of necrosis of the liver in the rat: acute hepatitis induced by galactosamine and liver damage induced by a combination of chronic
