Androgen Deprivation and Cytoprotective Parameters in Rat Lung
(ARC Journals, 2015-01)
The aim was to study the effect of androgen deprivation, focusing on oxidative stress, and cytoprotective markers, in order to better understand the possible causes of pulmonary diseases in elder people. Adult male Wistar ...
Metformin prevents the increase of nitric oxide and lipid peroxidation induced by dehydroepiandrosterone in early pregnant mice
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-09)
The aim of this work was to study the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and metformin (M) on nitric oxide (NO) system and oxidative stress in embryo implantation sites of early pregnant mice. The biguanide M is used ...
Chronic nasal instillation of residual-oil fly ash (ROFA) induces brain lipid peroxidation and behavioral changes in rats
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2008)
Several epidemiological studies have linked particulate matter exposure to numerous adverse health effects on the respiratory, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems (Braga et al., 1999; Zanobetti et al., 2000; Anderson ...
Air pollution and antibodies against modified lipoproteins are associated with atherosclerosis and vascular remodeling in hyperlipemic mice
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2009)
We analyzed the impact of chronic exposure to urban air pollution on the development of atherosclerosis. Hyperlipemic mice (LDLR(-/-)) were submitted to a high fat diet and air pollution for four months. We measured the ...
Assessment of Vascular Effects of Tamoxifen and Its Metabolites on the Rat Perfused Hindquarter Vascular Bed
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Tamoxifen has been suggested to produce beneficial cardiovascular effects, although the mechanisms for these effects are not fully known. Moreover, although tamoxifen metabolites may exhibit 30-100 times higher potency ...
Effects of Lecithin and Vitamin E Supplementation on Liver Steatosis and Oxidative Stress Induced by Chronic Ethanol Consumption in Rats
(SCANDINAVIAN FEDERATION LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE, 2010)
Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, associated with ethanol, are considered important pathogenic mechanisms in the formation of hepatic steatosis. The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of ...
Enhanced concentrations of relevant markers of nitric oxide formation after exercise training in patients with metabolic syndrome
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008)
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) denotes a clustering of risk factors that may affect nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and predispose to cardiovascular diseases, which are delayed by exercise training. However, no previous study ...
Antihypertensive effects exerted by enalapril in mild to moderate hypertension are not associated with changes in the circulating levels of nitric oxide-related markers
(SPRINGER, 2011)
The antihypertensive effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are explained, at least in part, by enhanced bradykinin-dependent nitric oxide (NO) formation and decreased angiotensin II-induced oxidative ...
The Association of Lipodystrophy and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in HIV-Infected Men
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2010)
The aim of this study was to describe the status of oxidative stress and antioxidant biomarkers and their association with metabolic and body composition components of HIV-lipodystrophy syndrome. In a cross-sectional study ...
Blood and Salivary Oxidative Stress Biomarkers Following an Acute Session of Resistance Exercise in Humans
(GEORG THIEME VERLAG KG, 2010)
The aim of the present study was to compare oxidative stress biomarkers determined in blood and saliva before and after acute resistance exercise. 1 week after 1 maximum repetition (1RM) test 11 healthy well-trained males ...
