antioxidant/edema

The state of enzymatic and nonenzymatic components of antioxidant system and also lipid peroxidation processes were studied in brain of rats with toxic pulmonary edema induced by inhalation of nitric oxides. The changes in the state of antioxidant system components in brain accompanied the

An attempt was made to explore the scope of the bio-antioxidants in the management of symptoms of epidemic dropsy caused by argemone alkaloids, sanguinarine and dihydrosanguinarine. The study was performed on 24 randomly selected epidemic dropsy cases who consumed argemone contaminated mustard oil.

Dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) suppressed 2, 22, 12, 6, and 4% of ischemic paw edema of mice at 1, 3, 6, 18, and 40 h. Various antioxidants when given with 0.1 mg/kg Dex enhanced and prolonged the suppression. For example, 30 mg/kg of tannic acid induced suppression of 6, 52, 59, 42 and 27%,

Role of carbon monoxide (CO) in hyperthermic brain injury induced brain pathology was examined in a rat model using immunohistochemistry of the hemeoxygenase-2 (HO-2) enzyme. Exposure of rats to 4 h heat stress at 38 degrees C resulted in profound hyperthermia, breakdown of the blood-brain barrier

Trials in white rats have shown, that intravenous injection of pituitrin (10 U/kg), challenging marked pulmonary edema, resulted in decrease of general lipids in them, as well as cholesterol, phospholipids and free fatty acids with accumulation of lipid peroxidation (LP) products. Preliminary

Oxygen free radicals may contribute to tissue injury processes in the central nervous system following ischemia or trauma. Recent studies have suggested that inhibition of free radicals improves the outcome in experimental models involving such conditions, and antioxidant therapy appears promising.

This study aimed to investigate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of a commercial product of noni (Morinda citrifolia) juice. Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema was employed as inflammatory model. One control and three experimental groups were formed. Experimental groups were administered

The state of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of antioxidant system and also lipid peroxidation processes in blood and lungs of rats with toxic pulmonary edema induced by inhalation of nitric oxides were investigated. The changes in the state of blood and lung antioxidant system components

The neuroprotective efficacy of post-injury treatment with the antioxidant compound H-290/51 (10, 30, and 60 minutes after trauma) on immediate early gene expression (c-fos), blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) permeability, edema formation, and motor dysfunction was examined in a rat model of spinal

The role of oxidative stress in spinal cord injury (SCI) induced upregulation of constitutive or inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (cNOS or iNOS) is not well known. The present investigation was undertaken to examine the influence of an antioxidant compound H-290/51 (Astra-Zeneca, Mölndal,

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that low concentrations of distal airspace water-soluble antioxidants are associated with acute lung injury. METHODS Prospective, cohort study. METHODS Medical intensive care unit of two tertiary care hospitals. METHODS Subjects were 29 patients with acute lung

Oxygen free radicals contribute to various kinds of tissue injury processes within the central nervous system. It has been suggested that inhibition of free radical formation has the potential to attenuate secondary neural tissue damage involving ischemia or trauma, and antioxidant therapy may offer

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of antioxidative capacity and endothelial function among patients with high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). METHODS The serum levels of SOD, MDA, GSH, NO, NOS and ET-1 were measured before and after treatment among 34 cases of patients with HAPE, and 20 local

BACKGROUND Skin sensitizers induce allergic reactions through the induction of reactive oxygen species. Allyl nitrile from cruciferous vegetables has been reported to induce antioxidants and phase II detoxification enzymes in various tissues. We assessed the effects of repeated exposure to allyl

Acute experimental allergic optic neuritis was induced in 18 adult strain-13 guinea pigs. The animals were divided into three groups. The first group of six animals received intraperitoneal injections of saline, the second group received superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the third group received
