Protective effects of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on organophosphate poisoning
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2018)
In this study, we aimed to study the possible preventive effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a dietary omega-3 fatty acid, on toxicity caused by chlorpyrifos (CPF). Six groups of Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g) consisting ...
Estrogen receptor agonists alleviate cardiac and renal oxidative injury in rats with renovascular hypertension
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2016)
Although endogenous estrogen is known to offer cardiac and vascular protection, the involvement of estrogen receptors in mediating the protective effect of estrogen on hypertension-induced cardiovascular and renal injury ...
Paraoxonase levels in acute mushroom poisoning cases treated in emergency department
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2011)
The present study was undertaken to investigate the activities of paraoxonase in acute mushroom poisoning cases. This investigation was made between June 2009 to June 2010 with 64 mushroom poisoning patients who admitted ...
Oxidative status in the lungs associated with tobacco smoke exposure
(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2011)
Background: Oxidative stress has a critical role in inflammatory responce against tobacco smoke (TS). Testing exhaled breath condensate (EBC) samples is one of the methods used for assessment of airway inflammation caused ...
Investigation of anti-proliferative and antioxidative effects of some bis (alpha-amino) phosphinic acid derivatives
(UNIV KARACHI, 2016)
Aminophosphinic acids which are organophosphorus compounds widely investigated for potential production of antibacterial, antitumor and antiviral materials. In vitro antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of ...
Etanercept protects myocutaneous flaps from ischaemia reperfusion injury: An experimental study in a rat tram flap model
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016)
Background Being an inevitable component of free tissue transfer, ischemia-reperfusion injury tends to contribute to flap failure. TNF- is an important proinflammatory cytokine and a prominent mediator of the ischemia-reperfusion ...
Antioxidant-oxidant status in patients with hydatid cyst
(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2012)
Objectives: To determine whether oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of hydatid cyst by examining levels of total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, oxidative stress index, and activities of the enzymes ...
Quercetin protects radiation-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in kidney and bladder tissues of rats
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2014)
Ionizing radiation (IR) can induce cell damage and cell death through the reactive oxygen species generated by radiolytic hydrolysis. The present study was aimed to determine the possible protective effects of quercetin, ...
Effect on oxidative stress, hepatic chemical metabolizing parameters, and genotoxic damage of mad honey intake in rats
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018)
A total of 66 male Wistar rats were used and six groups (control: 10 animals and experimental: 12 animals) were formed. While a separate control group was established for each study period, mad honey application to the ...
Systemic Prolidase Activity and Oxidative Stress in Keratoconus
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2016)
Aim: Our aim was to evaluate the serum prolidase activity, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidant status (TOS) in patients with keratoconus.Material and method: A total 69 keratoconus patients and 72 control ...
