Crocin improves lipid dysregulation in subacute diazinon exposure through ERK1/2 pathway in rat liver.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Diazinon Yis one of the most broadly used organophosphorus insecticides in agriculture. It has been shown that exposure to diazinon may interfere with lipid metabolism. Moreover, the hypolipidemic effect of crocin has been established. Earlier studies revealed the major role of

Neuroprotection against CCl4 induced brain damage with crocin in Wistar rats.

Owing to its lipophilic property, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is rapidly absorbed by both the liver and brain. We investigated the protective effects of crocin against brain damage caused by CCl4. Fifty rats were divided into five groups of ten: control, corn oil, crocin, CCl4 and CCl4 + crocin.

Protective effect of crocin on diazinon induced vascular toxicity in subchronic exposure in rat aorta ex-vivo.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Diazinon (DZN) is a widely used organophosphate insecticide. Although mechanism of DZN cardiovascular toxicity is primarily mediated through inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, however, DZN causes remarkable atropine-insensitive hypotension in rats. It has been proved that oxidative

Crocin Abrogates Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Renal Toxicity in Rats via Modulation of Metabolizing Enzymes and Diminution of Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Inflammatory Cytokines.

This work aimed at investigating the potential modulatory effects and mechanisms of crocin against CCl4 -induced nephrotoxicity. Forty male rats were allocated for three weeks treatment with corn oil, CCl4 , crocin, or crocin plus CCl4 . Crocin effectively mitigated CCl4 -induced kidney injury as

Antihyperlipidemic effect of crocin isolated from the fructus of Gardenia jasminoides and its metabolite Crocetin.

The pancreatic lipase inhibitors were isolated from the fructus of Gardenia jasminoides ELLIS, and their antihyperlipidemic activities were measured. Gardeniae fructus (GF) water extract inhibited pancreatic lipase activity. Crocetin and crocin were isolated from GF water extract as inhibitors of

Protective effect of crocin on diazinon induced cardiotoxicity in rats in subchronic exposure.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of crocin, main component of Crocus sativus L. (Saffron) against subchronic diazinon (DZN) induced cardiotoxicity in rats. METHODS Rats were divided into 7 groups; control (corn oil, gavage), DZN (15 mg/kg/day, gavage,), crocin (12.5, 25 or 50

Evaluation of Protein Ubiquitylation in Heart Tissue of Rats Exposed to Diazinon (an Organophosphate Insecticide) and Crocin (an Active Saffron Ingredient): Role of HIF-1α.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Organophosphate compounds, such as diazinon (DZN), are widely used in agriculture and can lead to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiovascular system. ROS are highly toxic since they can cause serious changes in proteins including ubiquitylation. Crocin (a carotenoid

Evaluation of diazinon-induced hepatotoxicity and protective effects of crocin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Diazinon (DZN) is one of the most widely used insecticides in agricultural pest control. Previous studies have shown that DZN may induce hepatotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species and apoptosis pathways are involved in the toxicity of DZN. Crocin, a constituent of saffron, has hepatoprotective effects

Protective effect of crocin against apoptosis induced by subchronic exposure of the rat vascular system to diazinon.

Only registered users can translate articles

Research has suggested that natural antioxidant, crocin, an active ingredient of saffron, may protect against diazinon (DZN)-induced toxicity. Although increased production of lipid peroxidation by DZN in rat aorta has been shown previously, the effects of DZN on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis

Can crocin play a preventive role in Wistar rats with carbon tetrachloride-induced nephrotoxicity?

Only registered users can translate articles

UNASSIGNED To investigate protective role of crocin by attempting to create nephrotoxicity with carbon tetrachloride. UNASSIGNED Ethics committee approval was obtained and 50 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups that included 10 rats each: Control, Corn oil, Crocin, Carbon

Crocin restores hypotensive effect of subchronic administration of diazinon in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE In this study, the effects of crocin against subchronic toxicity of diazinon (DZN) on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) were evaluated in rats. METHODS Rats were equally divided into 7 groups; control (corn oil), DZN (15 mg/kg), crocin (each group received 12.5, 25 or 50
