glycine/hemorrhage

It has been demonstrated that a wide variety of white blood cells and macrophages (i.e. Kupffer cells, alveolar and peritoneal macrophages and neutrophils) contain glycine-gated chloride channels. Binding of glycine on the receptor stimulates Cl(-) influx causing membrane hyperpolarization that

In 17 men undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), an isosmotic solution of 2.2% glycine was used for irrigation. The plasma glycine concentration was determined before and immediately after TURP and 2, 6, 24 and 48 hours later. The serum concentrations of sodium, albumin and

This study investigated the effect of glycine on hemorrhagic shock in the rat. Rats were bled to maintain mean arterial pressure at 30-35 mm Hg for 1 h and subsequently resuscitated with 60% shed blood and lactated Ringer's solution. Only 20% of rats receiving saline just prior to resuscitation

BACKGROUND Methylprednisolone (MP), a synthetic glucocorticosteroid, has been broadly studied in experiments on endotoxin-induced shock and septic shock. This study was designed to ascertain whether glycine and MP can protect against organ injury and death caused by hemorrhagic shock, and to

For many researchers it is still difficult to accept that beneficial effects can be obtained in several disease states with the simplest amino acid, glycine. However, evidence is mounting in favour of this idea. It is now clear that dietary glycine protects against shock caused either by blood loss

Na+-dependent glycine transport has been studied in reticulocyte-enriched fractions of blood obtained after massive bleeding of sheep. The activity is dependent on the sodium electrochemical potential and the membrane potential. The sodium chemical gradient was varied by changing either external or

Glycine has been shown to protect against ischemic stroke through various mechanisms. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) which antagonize Akt-dependent cell survival has been linked to neuronal damage. However, whether glycine has a neuroprotective property in

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of glycine on survival after hemorrhagic shock in the rats and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Wistar rats were bled to establish the shock model and subsequently resuscitated with shed blood and normal saline. Just prior to resuscitation, the rats

OBJECTIVE In recent years, evidence has mounted in favor of the antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory and cytoprotective effects of the simplest amino acid L-glycine. This article will focus on the recent findings about the responsible mechanisms of protection and review the beneficial effects of

OBJECTIVE Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic inflammatory disorders with unclear etiology and mechanism(s). Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) plays a central role in inflammatory diseases such as hepatitis and atherosclerosis. However, little is known about the impact of GNMT and the

In treatment of hemorrhagic shock, small-volume infusion of 7.5% NaCl gives immediate hemodynamic improvement, but in vitro experiments suggest it depresses the hemostatic system. Since previous reports showed that hyperosmotic glycine solutions preserved the platelet function better than

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a form of stroke associated with high mortality and morbidity. Despite advances in treatment for SAH, the prognosis remains poor. We have previously demonstrated that glycine, a non-essential amino acid is involved in neuroprotection following intracerebral

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate the potential metabolic complications of 1.5 percent glycine irrigating solution during endoscopic transanal resection (ETAR) of rectal tumors. METHODS Thirteen consecutive frail patients (mean age, 81 (range, 57-91) years) undergoing 18 ETAR were

The development of a hemostatic sponge that can be used for treating both arterial hemorrhage and non-compressible bleeding remains a challenge. In this work, we propose the fabrication of a robust hemostatic sponge by a hydrogen bond strengthening and in situ bubble expanding strategy in

BACKGROUND Glycine, a non-essential amino acid, is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect on haemorrhagic and endotoxic shock in animals. In the present study, we examined the effects of glycine on inflammatory reactions and hepatocellular damage after hepatic warm ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) in
