Characteristics of 44 outbreaks of "paralytic myoglobinuria" in yearling cattle reported to veterinary investigation centres during 1974 and 1975 are described. The clinical syndrome and associated nutrition and management of cattle are discussed in the light of present knowledge of this disease
Fourteen calves, 14 weeks old, fed a low vitamin E and selenium diet based on sodium hydroxide-treated, selenium-deficient barley showed a rapid decline in plasma alpha-tocopherol, a gradual decline in erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (GSHPX) activity, elevated plasma creatine kinase (CK)
BACKGROUND
Myoglobinuric acute renal failure causes increased oxidative stress. Since ethanol upregulates renal antioxidant enzymes and wine polyphenols behave as antioxidants, we tested the hypothesis that red wine components would ameliorate the renal damage caused by rhabdomyolysis.
METHODS
Adult
Myoglobinuria is a complication of crush injury as well as substance abuse. This study examined whether pyruvate modified myoglobin in vitro renal toxicity. Renal slices from Fischer-344 rats were incubated for 120 min with 0-12 mg/ml myoglobin. In an initial study, gluconeogenesis was stimulated by
We report a case of drug-related toxicity after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma in a HIV-HCV co-infected patient. Before transplant the patient was on a triple antiretroviral therapy (zidovudine and lamivudine and efavirenz) with a stable CD4+ cell count >500 cells/microL. Liver
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, theoretically, renders red blood cells (RBC) susceptible to oxidative stress. G6PD deficiency has also been found in other types of cells than RBC, such as leukocytes and myocytes, where an inefficient protection against oxidative BACKGROUND
Muscle degradation caused by severe burn releases myoglobin (Mb), which accumulates in the kidney (termed myoglobinuria). Mb is a pro-oxidant.
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate that Mb promotes oxidative stress and dysfunction in cultured Madin-Darby canine kidney type II (MDCK II)
