Our study evaluates the preventive effect of S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide (SACS) on lipid peroxidative products and enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidants in isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarction in rats. The male Wistar rats were rendered myocardial infarction by ISO (150 mg kg(-1), once a
The antihyperlipidemic, antilipoperoxidative and antioxidant effects of S-allyl cysteine sulphoxide (SACS) in myocardial infarcted rats were reported previously. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the preventive role of SACS on some biochemical parameters, glycoproteins and hematology in
S‑allyl‑cysteine sulfoxide (alliin) is the main organosulfur component of garlic and its preparations. The present study aimed to examine the protective effect of alliin on cardiac function and the underlying mechanism in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI). Notably, alliin treatment
In this study, S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide (SACS) was used to evaluate its preventive effect in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia in male Wistar rats. Rats were pretreated with SACS (40 and 80 mg kg(-1)) orally for 5 weeks. After the treatment period, ISO (150 mg kg(-1)) was
Oxidative stress and inflammatory damage play an important role in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and may represent a target for treatment. The present study examined the hypothesis that S-allyl cysteine (SAC), organosulfur compounds found in garlic extract, would reduce oxidative stress-associated
S-Allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) has been shown to reduce ischemic injury due to its antioxidant activity. However, the antioxidant property of SAC has been controversial. The present study investigated the neuroprotective mechanism of SAC in cerebral ischemic insults. SAC decreased the size of infarction
This study was undertaken to evaluate the preventive role of S-allyl cysteine sulphoxide (SACS) in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Myocardial infarction was induced by subcutaneous injection of ISO (150 mg/kg) once a day for 2 days. SACS (40 and 80 mg/kg) was given as
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in young adults and children in the industrialized countries; however, there are presently no FDA approved therapies. TBI results in oxidative stress due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and overwhelming of
Vascular diseases like thrombosis, myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia or chronic venous insufficiency affect a high proportion of the population. They are all associated with more or less pronounced ischemic conditions. We have previously shown that some venotropic drugs display an
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule with promising protective effects in many physiological and pathological processes. However, the study of H2S has been impeded by the lack of appropriate H2S donors that could mimic its slow-releasing process in vivo. Herein, we report the
The current study was designed to evaluate the pharmacologic effects of three novel cysteine-containing compounds: S-propyl-l-cysteine (SPC), S-allyl-l-cysteine (SAC), and S-propargyl-l-cysteine (SPRC) on H(2)S production and antioxidant defenses in an acute myocardial infarction (MI) rat model. The
S-propargyl-cysteine (SPRC), also named as ZYZ-802, is a structural analog of S-allylcysteine (SAC), the most abundant constituent of aged garlic extract. SPRC becomes a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, which contains sulfur atom, by changing allyl group in SAC to propargyl group in SPRC.
Effects of an aged garlic extract and its thioallyl components on rat brain ischemia were examined using a middle cerebral artery occlusion model and a transient global ischemia model. In focal ischemia, an aged garlic extract, S-allyl cysteine (SAC), Allyl sulfide (AS) or Allyl disulfide (ADS) was
Although activation of delta-opioid receptors is known to induce both early and late preconditioning (PC) against myocardial infarction, the mechanisms for this salubrious effect are unclear. Furthermore, it is unknown whether delta-opioid receptors can also induce late PC against myocardial
Lifestyle-related diseases have complex pathogenesis which consists of several different steps. Basic causes of the diseases are attributed to unhealthy lifestyles in dietary habits, physical activity and suffering stress. The unhealthy lifestyles induce risk factors such as hypertension,
