Alpha-lipoic acid protects against cholecystokinin-induced acute pancreatitis in rats.
AIM Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has been used as an antioxidant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on cholecystokinin (CCK)-octapeptide induced acute pancreatitis in rats. METHODS ALA at 1 mg/kg was intra-peritoneally injected, followed by 75 microg/kg CCK-octapeptide injected thrice subcutaneously after 1, 3, and 5 h. This whole procedure was repeated for 5...
متن کاملΑ‑lipoic acid protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury in rats.
It is well established that the brain is sensitive to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)‑induced injury. α‑lipoic acid (LA), a free radical scavenger and antioxidant, has a neuroprotective effect against cerebral I/R‑induced injury, however, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to evaluate whether LA was able to protect against cerebral I/R‑indu...
متن کاملα-lipoic acid protects dopaminergic neurons against MPP+-induced apoptosis by attenuating reactive oxygen species formation.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) elicited by oxidative stress are widely recognized as a major initiator in the dege-neration of dopaminergic neurons distinctive of Parkinson's disease (PD). The interaction of ROS with mitochondria triggers sequential events in the mitochondrial cell death pathway, which is thought to be responsible for ROS-mediated neurodegeneration in PD. α-lipoic acid (LA) is a...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of alpha lipoic acid on cerulein-induced experimental acute pancreatitis in rats.
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the effects of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on blood and tissue biochemical parameters, as well as tissue histopathology, in an experimental rat model of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS Three groups consisting of eight rats each were used, as follows: Group 1, controls; Group 2, cerulein-induced pancreatitis group treated with salin...
متن کاملα-Lipoic Acid Mitigates Arsenic-Induced Hematological Abnormalities in Adult Male Rats
Background: Arsenic toxicity is a major global health problem and exposure via contaminated drinking water has been associated with hematological and other systemic disorders. The present investigation has been conducted in adult male rats to evaluate the protective ability of α-lipoic acid (ALA) against such hematological disorders.Methods: Twenty-four adult male Wister rats (b.wt.130±10g) wer...
