d galactose/edema

In adrenalectomized female rats a single dose of 375 mg D-galactosamine.HCl per kg of body weight produces both hepatitis and generalized edema with ascites. These alterations depend upon the dose and the time interval after injection of the aminosugar. The effect is specific for D-galactosamine;

Galactose neuropathy was produced in rats by feeding a diet containing 30% D-galactose. After 12 weeks of galactose ingestion, all rats developed bilateral cataracts, polydypsia and polyuria. These galactose-intoxicated animals were divided into two groups that both continued with the galactose

Resveratrol (Res) displays potent anti-oxidant activity and is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether Res consumption protects ovariectomized (OVX) rats chronically treated with D-galactose (D-gal) from developing memory decline and whether

As a traditional Chinese medicinal drink, Apocynum venetum, a local tea from Xinjiang, China, is favored for its rich flavor and biological functionality. This study looked at aging mice induced by d-galactose to determine the in vivo anti-aging effect of Apocynum venetum tea extracts

Endoneurial edema in galactose neuropathy was studied in a colony of Sprague-Dawley rats fed diets containing 0%, 10%, 20% or 40% D-galactose for approx. 200 days. Endoneurial fluid was analyzed by X-ray microanalysis for electrolyte concentration, by microgravimetry of whole nerve segments for

OBJECTIVE Neutrophils are implicated in the physiopathologic alterations of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Thus, we decided to test the antiinflammatory activity of glucose-mannose binding lectins extracted from D. violacea and D. guianensis seeds, which showed an inhibitory effect upon neutrophil

BjcuL is a C-type lectin with specificity for the binding of β-d-galactose units isolated from Bothrops jararacussu venom. It triggers cellular infiltration in post capillary venules, increases edema and vascular permeability in murine models, contributes to in vitro neutrophil activation and

Nigella glandulifera seeds are used as a spice or remedy for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate analgesic (writhing test), anti-inflammatory (ear-induced edema, vascular permeability test), antioxidant, and antitumor activities of total saponins from this

The polysaccharide preparation from Pimpinella anisum seeds (PAP) was isolated and characterized to evaluate its laser burn wound-healing and anti-inflammatory activities in mice. The structure characterization of PAP by Infra-red spectrometry (IR), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Gas

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of chronic stress stimulation on aging and the effect of acupoint catgut-embedding therapy on structural changes of hippocampal pyramidal neurons in senile chronic stress rats, so as to reveal its mechanisms underlying resisting senility. METHODS Forty-eight male SD

To assess changes in the cognitive function and hippocampal ultrastructure of elderly rats exposed to sevoflurane.

Ault male Sprague-Dawley rats were given subcutaneous injection of D-galactose on the neck for 40 d to establish elderly models,

Vatairea guianensis lectin (VGL), Dalbergiae tribe, is a N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc)/Galactose (Gal) lectin previously purified and characterized. In this work, we report its structural features, obtained from bioinformatics tools, and its inflammatory effect, obtained from a rat paw edema

Here we describe a simple affinity purification method for Shiga toxin 2e (Stx2e), a major causative factor of edema disease in swine. Escherichia coli strain MV1184 transformed with the expression plasmid pBSK-Stx2e produced Stx2e when cultivated in CAYE broth containing lincomycin. Stx2e bound to

A new galactose-specific lectin, named BBL, was purified from seeds of Bauhinia bauhinioides by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, followed by two steps of ion exchange chromatography. BBL haemagglutinated rabbit erythrocytes (native and treated with proteolytic enzymes) showing stability even
