Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGreen Tea Treatment Attenuates Oxidative Damage and Neuromotor Deficit Induced by an Experimental Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in RatsMauren Assis Souza, Caroline Dalla Colletta Altermann, Alexandre dos Santos Martins et al.The present study shows the neuroprotective effect of green tea supplementation (GT; Camellia sinensis) in a model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. ICH was induced by intra-striatum collagenase infusion in male Wistar rats. GT (400 mg Kg-1) was administered via gavage for 10 days after ICH. We assessed the effect of GT on neuromotor recovery and oxidative damage. Our … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 19 Mar 2017 · 8,598 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene.
