Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNitric Oxide Donors with Therapeutic Strategic in Experimental Schistossomiasis MansoniWander Rogério Pavanelli, Jean Jerley Nogueira da Silva, Carolina Panis et al.Schistosomiasis, an immune disease, remains a major public health problem in endemic area. To determine the influence of Nitric Oxide (NO) on this disease, we tested two compounds (Trans-[Ru(bpy)2(NO)SO3](PF6)-PF6 and Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]-SNP, which releases NO when activated by biological reducing agents, in BALB/c mice infected subcutaneously by Schistosoma BH strains. The parasitic activity of NO-donors was evaluated in this model by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Feb 2015 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
