BACKGROUND
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) causes severe histological injury, reactive oxygen species activation, and cell apoptosis in the lung. In this study, we investigated, using a murine intestinal I/R model, the effect of a polyphenolic compound, protocatechuic acid (PCA), in modulation
The reproductive toxicity associated with furan exposure in both animals and humans has been documented. Protocatechuic acid (PCA), a dietary polyphenolic chemical, reportedly elicits beneficial effects on the male reproductive system. However, the influence of PCA on the reproductive toxicity
Clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that reproductive dysfunction is a non-lethal complication of diabetes. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) reportedly elicited several pharmacological effects in diabetic animals. However, there is paucity of information on the role of PCA in reproductive
Previous studies indicated that cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (C3G) as a classical anthocyanin exerted an anti-fibrotic effect in the liver, but its bioavailability was quite low. This study was undertaken to explore the restraining effect of C3G and its metabolite protocatechuic acid (PCA) on the
We examined the effect of protocatechuic acid (PCA) on methotrexate (MTX)-induced testicular and epididymal toxicity in Wistar rats, treated with MTX (20 mg/kg) alone or in combination with PCA (25 and 50 mg/kg) body weight for a week. PCA significantly abated MTX-mediated increase in reactive
The efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) as an anticancer drug is limited by some adverse effects including hepatic and renal toxicities. The present study investigated the possible protective effect of protocatechuic acid (PCA), a phenolic phytochemical widely present in several edible vegetables and
Antioxidants have been shown to be effective in murine models of sepsis. Protocatechuic acid has antioxidant activity. In the present study, the protective effects of protocatechuic acid and its derivatives were investigated in a mouse model of septic shock induced by lipopolysaccharide
After spinal cord injury (SCI), blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) disruption and hemorrhage lead to blood cell infiltration and progressive secondary injuries including inflammation. Inflammatory response is one of the major events resulting in apoptosis, scar formation and neuronal dysfunction after
2,3,7,8-Tetracholorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a highly toxic environmental contaminant that causes severe toxic effects in animal and human. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of TCDD and the preventive effects of protocatechuic acid (PCA), a widespread phenolic compound, in the heart
BACKGROUND
Protocatechuic acid (PCA), which has antioxidant property, is a simple phenolic compound commonly found in many plants, vegetables, and fruits, notably in green tea and almonds. Present study was an investigation of the effects of PCA on rat kidney with ischemia/reperfusion (IR)
Increasing evidence regarding free-radical generating agents and the inflammatory process suggests that accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can involve hepatotoxicity. Previously, we found that protocatechuic acid (PCA), a polyphenolic compound from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. possessing free
The study aims to investigate the effects of protocatechuic acid (PCA) separated from Chinese herbs, on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice. The mouse model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS at the dose of 5mg/kg body weight. Three doses of PCA (30, 15,
Environmental and occupational exposure to heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), is associated with extremely adverse impacts to living systems. Antioxidant agents are suggested to eliminate Cd intoxication. In this paper, we investigated the potential neuroprotective effect of protocatechuic acid
Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a major metabolite of anthocyanins. It has numerous pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumoral activities. In the present study, we investigated the in vivo protective effect of PCA on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by
Protocatechuic acid (PA) is a polyphenol-recognized for its efficacy as an antioxidant-possesses anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties. The efficacy of PA in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has not been investigated. Forty-two castrated rats (n = 7) were treated
