Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most devastating form of acute lung injury (ALI) or pulmonary edema (PE). We presented the experimental studies and clinical investigations of two serious forms of ALI. Drastic and severe PE could be induced by intracranial hypertension or cerebral
This paper describes the involvement of sex hormones in the edematogenic response produced by staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in the mouse hindpaw. Both the paw weight variation and the protein exudate produced by the intraplantar administration of SEB (12.5 micrograms/paw) to intact, randomly
Stimulation of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) by 2,4 dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was reported to be effective in clinical regression of some carcinomas and precancerous lesions. This study investigated development of CMI in rat submaxillary salivary glands with dermal application of DNCB to provide a
BACKGROUND
Argemone mexicana L. is native to Mexico and the plant extracts are used in traditional medicine in India and South American countries. Argemone oil (AO) is a common adulterant of mustard oil in India and causes serious pathophysiological consequences leading to outbreaks of epidemic
Basic acute toxicity, primary irritancy, and genetic toxicity studies were conducted with 3-(methylthio)propionaldehyde (3-MTP). The acute rat peroral LD50 (with 95% confidence limits) for 3-MTP as a 25% (v/v) dilution in corn oil was 1.00 (0.59-1.70) ml/kg (males) and 1.68 (0.95-2.99) ml/kg
Effects of sustained ethanol intoxication and dietary fat content on pancreatic morphology were investigated in the rat model implanted with gastrostomy catheters, which permitted continuous intragastric infusion of ethanol plus liquid diet containing one of three levels of corn oil: 5% (low-fat),
The role of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126)-induced toxicity and species-specific sensitivity was examined in White Leghorn chicken (Gallus domesticus) and Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos) embryos. Eggs were injected into the air cell with 0.4-1.6
Capparis spinosa L. has many biological effects such as antioxidant properties. In the present study, we compared the effects of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Capparis spinosa fruit, quercetin (Q), and vitamin E (Vit E) on monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced toxicity. The following
BACKGROUND
Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation stimulates an inflammatory response. This study tests the hypothesis that prefeeding with fish oil rich in ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) will attenuate that response.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 60; 350 ± 30 g) were randomly but unequally
BACKGROUND
The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in acute lung injury (ALI) induced by fat embolism (FE) has not been investigated. The present study elucidated the role of NO in ALI because of FE.
METHODS
FE was produced by introduction of fatty acid (corn oil micelles) into the isolated rat's
Pentachloroanisole is a chlorinated aromatic compound which is widely distributed at low levels in the environment and in food products. Formation of pentachloroanisole in the environment may result from the degradation of structurally related, commercially important, ubiquitous chlorinated aromatic
Phenylbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering phenylbutazone (greater than 99% pure) in corn oil by gavage to groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex for 19 days, 13 weeks, or 2 years. Genetic toxicology
The purpose of this study was to examine the dose response and time course relationships between PUVA (psoralen + UVA) depletion of skin glutathione (GSH) and the induction of inflammation. Dorsal skin fold thickness (DSFT), an index of cutaneous edema, was used as a noninvasive measure of
Ethyl acrylate (EtAc) is widely used in the production of polymers and copolymers for use in the preparation of latex paints, textiles, paper coatings, and specialty plastics. EtAc caused squamous cell carcinomas and papillomas in the forestomach (nonglandular portion of the stomach) of both sexes
BACKGROUND
We sought to investigate the adverse effects of perinatal exposure to nonylphenol (NP) on carbohydrate metabolism of male offspring rats.
METHODS
Thirty-two healthy pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, control normal diet group (C), NP normal diet group
