In addition to protecting cells against free radical harm thanks to its anti-oxidant nature, lycopene strengthens the bonds among cells and improves cell metabolism. This study focuses on analyzing therapeutic effects of lycopene in hyperoxia-induced neurodegenerative disorders in Production rates for ethane gas, a hydrocarbon byproduct of lipid peroxidation, measured from the ethane present in the exhaled breath of rats, were used to determine changes in oxygen-free radical activity. Rates of ethane production were measured in rats housed in metabolic chambers and exposed to
Supplemental oxygen contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants. In this investigation, we tested the hypothesis that prenatal treatment of pregnant mice (C57BL/6J) with the cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1 inducer, ß-napthoflavone (BNF), will lead to attenuation
Prolonged hyperoxia contributes to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. β-Naphthoflavone (BNF) is a potent inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A enzymes, which have been implicated in hyperoxic injuries in adult mice. In this investigation, we tested the hypothesis that newborn mice
Exposure to supraphysiological concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia) leads to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), one of the most common pulmonary morbidities in preterm neonates, which is more prevalent in males than females. Beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) is protective against hyperoxic lung injury in
Maternal smoking is one of the risk factors for preterm birth and for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that prenatal exposure of rats to benzo[a]pyrene (BP), a component of cigarette smoke, will result in increased susceptibility of
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leads to progressive lung injury, which significantly impacts patient morbidity and mortality but may differ clinically between the sexes. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A enzymes are
