tannic acid/edema

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between anti-inflammatory effects of the natural polyphenolic compound tannic acid (CAS number: 1401-55-4) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme activity in paw edema model. Thirty-five female rats were divided into five groups. The paws of rats were

Dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) suppressed 2, 22, 12, 6, and 4% of ischemic paw edema of mice at 1, 3, 6, 18, and 40 h. Various antioxidants when given with 0.1 mg/kg Dex enhanced and prolonged the suppression. For example, 30 mg/kg of tannic acid induced suppression of 6, 52, 59, 42 and 27%,

Acute tannic acid toxicity was studied in 6 adult Merino ewes by administering 7-10% (w/v) tannic acid solution once into the abomasum via an abomasal fistula at dose rates of 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 g tannic acid/kg body weight. Samples of blood, urine and abomasal fluid were collected over a 48-h period

The LD(50) +/- S.E. of tannic acid given orally to albino rats was found to be 2.26+/-0.083 g. per kg. body weight, which is higher than its apparent LD(50) when given per rectum. The immediate cause of death was respiratory failure preceded by convulsions when death occurred early and by

The present research was conducted to elucidate a possible molecular mechanism related to neuromodulatory effects of tannic acid (TA) supplementation against traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a rodent model. Oxidative damage and neuroinflammation play a critical role in TBI and lead to behavioral

A tannic acid-osmium staining technique and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy were used to demonstrate changes in the glycocalyx and ciliary interconnections of the vestibular sensory cells of guinea pigs after extradural obliteration of the endolymphatic sac and duct. Three months after

Dl-3n-butylphthalide can effectively treat cerebral ischemia; however, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dl-3n-butylphthalide on microcirculation disorders following diffuse brain injury remain unclear. In this study, models of diffuse brain injury were established in Sprague-Dawley rats with

Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy is a very rare glomerular disease characterized by the deposition of Type III collagen fibrils within the subendothelial and mesangial areas, and by elevated serum levels of pro-collagen Type III peptide. We reported here an elderly patient representing the first

OBJECTIVE To study the apoptosis of alveolar type II cells, alterations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor (Flt1) in serum and lung and expression of VEGF mRNA in lung in pulmonary edema mice induced by phosgene. METHODS Twenty-six BALB/C mice were randomly divided into 2

Phosgene inhalation can induced pulmonary edema formation. The purpose of this study was to investigate cell of apoptosis in pulmonary edema mice induced by phosgene. Fifty-two BALB/c mice were random divided into a negative group and a positive group with 26 mice in each. Mice were exposed for 5

Eight heterogeneous tannin samples (HTSs) extracted from various tree/shrub leaves of African and Himalayan origin were tested topically for their ability to inhibit the biomarkers of tumor promotion in mouse skin in vivo. HTS2 (from Dichostachys cinerea) and HTS6 (from Cassia sieberiana)

Oak poisoning occurred in crossbred cattle due to eating immature tender oak (Quercus incana) leaves. Mortality was 70%. The animals exhibited anorexia, severe constipation and brisket edema. The feces were hard, pelleted and coated with blood and mucous. Significant reductions in blood hemoglobin
