This study explores the in vivo effects of the proposed transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) agonist 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE). Pharmacological inhibitors and genetically modified mice were used to investigate the ability of 4-ONE to act via TRPA1 receptors and possible mechanisms involving

To cast light on the mechanisms underlying development of spontaneous pancreatitis lesions, tissues from WBN/Kob rats at various ages were histopathologically and immunohistochemically investigated with special reference to the existence of the lipid peroxidation products 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE),

Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) increases the inherent tolerance of brain tissue suffering from severe hypoxia or ischemia insult by stimulating the protective ability of the brain. However, little is known concerning the effect of HPC on traumatic brain injury (TBI). We designed this study to

Clonorchis sinensis is a high-risk pathogenic helminth that strongly provokes inflammation, epithelial hyperplasia, periductal fibrosis, and even cholangiocarcinoma in chronically infected individuals. Chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of various cancers due to the disruption

The hypertensive rat brain exhibited softening, severe edema and intracerebral hemorrhage. The NO(2) (-) + NO(3) (-) (NOx) level in the hypertensive rat brain was higher than in the normotensive rat brain. Light microscopy demonstrated severe arterial and arteriolar lesions with fibrinoid deposits

Epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), which generate reactive oxygen species, may be involved in the recent increase in the prevalence of lung diseases. Cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CPs) are naturally occurring polyphenols with antioxidative

Trans-sodium crocetinate (TSC) is a novel synthetic carotenoid compound that improves diffusion of small molecules, including oxygen, in solutions. TSC provides neuroprotection in healthy rats and rabbits. This study seeks to determine whether TSC is neuroprotective in obese mice. Sixteen-week-old

OBJECTIVE Because the potential neuroprotective effect of isoflurane is controversial, we attempted to study whether isoflurane after treatment provides neuroprotection in a rat model of hyperglycemia-induced ischemic hemorrhagic transformation. METHODS Rats received an injection of 50% dextrose (6

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a new therapeutic target in the central nervous system. However, the association between ALDH2 and brain edema following ischemic stroke (IS) remains unclear. The present study was investigated to whether active ALDH2 can attenuate brain edema by using a rat model
