MohamedProblem statement: Evaluate the effects of daily administration of L-carnitine and cinnamon extract for two weeks on the expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) genes in cardiac and brain tissues of rats with Insulin Resistance (IR). Approach: Rats were divided into 4 groups (8 animals each): Group (1) rats fed control diet (60% starch) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,740 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAmelioration of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase, Insulin like Growth Factor-1 Gene Expression and Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 in Liver Tissue of Insulin Resistant Rats Treated With L-CarnitineHala M. GhanemProblem statement: It has been reported that genes expression (inducible Nitric Oxide (iNOS). Insulin-like Growth Factor-1(IGF-1) have a role in both glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was designed to evaluate the amelioration of the iNOS, IGF-1 genes expression as well as IRS-1 in liver tissues of rats fed high fructose diet treated with Lcarnitine. Approach: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,264 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIncreased Production of Nitric Oxide Contributes to Renal Oxidative Stress in Endotoxemic RatBahar Tunçtan, Belma Korkmaz, Hatice Yıldırım et al.Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. In this study, we investigated whether increased production … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSitagliptin Impairs Healing of Experimentally Induced Gastric Ulcers Via inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 ExpressionAmina Unis, Eman AbdelzaherGastric ulcer healing is a complex process that is regulated by several promoting factors including COX-2 and iNOS. Diabetes mellitus is usually associated with delayed gastric ulcer healing. Hence, the current study was designed to investigate the effect of sitagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor) on gastric ulcer healing and expression of iNOS and COX-2 in rat stomach.The study was conducted on … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,436 accessesView PDF Cite
