Toxicity of atorvastatin on isolated brain mitochondria
Background: Although the bio kinetics, metabolism and chemical toxicity of Atorvastatin are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential neurotoxic effect of Atorvastatin (Atv). Regarding the concrete evidences indicating Atv may reduce Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels through blockage of metalonate cycle, the present work aims to determine if Atorvastatin may provide toxic...
متن کاملThe Effect of Resveratrol against Acrolein Toxicity in Mitochondria isolated from Rat Liver
Introduction: Acrolein is an important environmental, food and water pollutant that plays an important role in the development of several diseases. Resveratrol is a phenolic compound with antioxidant properties found in fruits such as grapes, berries and peanuts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol in preventing Acrolein-induced toxicity in isolated mi...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor-alpha uncouples respiration in isolated rat mitochondria.
Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of an intracellular (associated with mitochondria) tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) binding protein. In an attempt to elucidate if this receptor could be involved in TNF action, we have incubated liver isolated mitochondria in the presence of recombinant murine TNF. The results show that the addition of TNF at concentrations as low as 10(-6) U/mi...
متن کاملA Search for Mitochondrial Damage in Alzheimer’s Disease Using Isolated Rat Brain Mitochondria
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects regions of the brain that control cognition, memory, language, speech and awareness to one’s physical surroundings. The pathological initiation and progression of AD is highly complex and its prevalence is on the rise. In his study, Alzheimer's disease was induced with single injection of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides (...
متن کاملCannabinoid-induced changes in respiration of brain mitochondria.
Cannabinoids exert various biological effects that are either receptor-mediated or independent of receptor signaling. Mitochondrial effects of cannabinoids were interpreted either as non-receptor-mediated alteration of mitochondrial membranes, or as indirect consequences of activation of plasma membrane type 1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1). Recently, CB1 receptors were confirmed to be localized t...
