carrageenan/infarction

Kappa-carrageenan (kappa-carrageenin; kappa-carragheen) was found to be thrombogenic in rats. After i.p. injection of 3 mg/kg of kappa-carrageenan the thrombosis extended to a maximum 7.5 cm from the tip of the tail. Infarction frequency as well as the extent of infarction were inhibited by oral

Exogenous plasminogen activators (PAs), such as streptokinase (SK) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), have been shown to significantly improve the mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion of the myocardium is associated with neutrophil activation and

We studied the influence of various inflammatory reactions on the survival rate and occurrence of arrhythmias in the acute phase of experimental myocardial infarction in conscious male Sprague--Dawley CFY rats. Chronic disseminated inflammatory disease was induced by subplantar injection of Freund

Background: Compound Dan Zhi tablet (DZT) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine formula. It has been used for the treatment of ischemic stroke for many years in clinical. However, its pharmacological mechanism is

A novel group of hybrid nitric oxide-releasing nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs ((*)NO-NSAIDs) possessing a 1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (11, 13, 15) or 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (12, 14, 16) moiety attached via a one-carbon methylene spacer to the carboxylic

A novel group of O2-acetoxymethyl-protected diazeniumdiolate-based non-steroidal anti-inflammatory prodrugs (NONO-NSAIDs) were synthesized by esterifying the carboxylate group of aspirin, ibuprofen, or indomethacin with O2-acetoxymethyl 1-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylamino]diazeniumdiolate. The

Silsosangami is a dried decoctum of a mixture of seven Korean herbal medicine, which is consisted of seven herbs (indicated as concentrations) of Typhae Pollen, Pteropi Faeces, Paeoniae Radicis rubra, Cnidii Rhizoma, Persicae Semen, Carthami Flos and Curcumae Tuber. In the present study, the effects

Among different carrageenins, kappa-carrageenans were found to be thrombogenic, whereas lambda-carrageenins were inactive in this respect, although the latter substances exerted a stronger edemogenic activity. Kappa-carrageenin (Sigma) was the most potent thrombogen. As the consequence of thrombosis

Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, such as simvastatin, lower circulating cholesterol levels and prevent myocardial infarction. Several studies have shown an unexpected effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors on inflammation. Here, we confirm that simvastatin is

Diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for the development of heart pathology. Myocardial infarction is the cause of death occurring after prolonged ischemia of the coronary arteries. Restoration of blood flow is the first intervention against heart attack, although the process of restoring
