Abdominal Irradiation Ameliorates Obesity in ob/ob Mice
Leptin-deficient ob/ob mice are a murine model for obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Here we report that non-lethal abdominal irradiation (a single fraction of 850 cGy) to ob/ob mice retarded rapid gain of body weight, leading to amelioration of obesity without marked changes in food intake. This effect was observed only in ob/ob mice and not in lean controls. Reduction of body weight ...
متن کاملProbucol nanostructured lipid carrier ameliorates elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm in mice
Probucol (PB) is a drug commonly used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. In our previous study, we have proved that PB can ameliorate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) induced by elastase in mice through its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effect. In this study, the water solubility and oral absorption of PB were improved by encapsulating PB into nanostructured lipid ca...
متن کاملAdiponectin Ameliorates Experimental Periodontitis in Diet-Induced Obesity Mice
Adiponectin is an adipokine that sensitizes the body to insulin. Low levels of adiponectin have been reported in obesity, diabetes and periodontitis. In this study we established experimental periodontitis in male adiponectin knockout and diet-induced obesity mice, a model of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and aimed at evaluating the therapeutic potential of adiponectin. We found that systemic ad...
متن کاملMelatonin ameliorates testicular damages induced by nicotine in mice
Objective(s): Nicotine as a toxic substance leads to impairment of the reproductive system function. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of melatonin on testicular alterations, sperm nuclear integrity, and epididymal sperm parameters in mice treated with nicotine.Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group A received the vehicle, group B received nicotine 0.1...
متن کاملPolysaccharide isolated from Parmelia tinctorum ameliorates ionizing irradiation-induced damage in mice
In this study, WPT-A, a type of water-soluble homogeneous lichen polysaccharide, was isolated and purified from Parmelia tinctorum. We investigated whether WPT-A has radioprotective effects when administered before total-body irradiation (TBI). Mice were treated with WPT-A via intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) once per day for three consecutive days prior to 7, 7.5, 8.5, 10 or 10.5-Gy TBI. Our r...
