Lipid Metabolism Abnormalities Secondary to Alcohol Administration in Cholesterol-Fed Rabbits - A Morphometric and Hematologic Study -
INTRODUCTION Nontraumatic osteonecrosis (ON) has been proven to be associated with alcohol abuse in many published reports (1). However, the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced ON remains unclear. Some reports suggested that pathologic changes in steroidand alcohol-induced ON are similar (1). Several possible factors in the pathogenesis of steroidinduced ON have been suggested based on human and an...
متن کاملProtective and reversal effects of conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor on PC12 cells following 6-hydroxydopamine administration.
Conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF), a member of the mammalian mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor family of conserved secreted factors, has been reported to protect and rescue dopaminergic neurons in vivo. PC12 pheochromocytoma cells are widely used as a cell model for Parkinson's disease (PD) for experimental studies. In the present study, PC12 cells were induced usi...
متن کاملCHOLESTEROL LOWERING EFFECT OF RHEUM RIBS IN HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC RABBITS
The effects of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Rheum ribs L. (RR) of the family polygonaceae was studied on serum cholesterol concentration in rabbits. To induce hypercholesterolemia, 0.5 g/kg/day of pure cholesterol powder was given orally to each rabbit for two weeks then cholesterol was halved and each group of animals was treated with a different regimen for another two weeks. Both t...
متن کاملEffects of calpain inhibition on dopaminergic markers and motor function following intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine administration in rats.
The neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine has been widely used to model aspects of Parkinson's disease in rodents, but the mechanisms underlying toxin-induced dopaminergic degeneration and functional impairment have not been fully elucidated. The main aim of the present study was to assess a possible role for calpains in neurochemical and behavioral deficits following unilateral infusion of intrastriata...
متن کاملStriatal postsynaptic ultrastructural alterations following methylenedioxymethamphetamine administration.
Amphetamine derivatives, such as methamphetamine (METH) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), act as monoaminergic neurotoxins in the central nervous system. Although there are slight differences in their mechanism of action, these compounds share a final common pathway, which involves dopamine release and oxidative stress. Apart from striatal toxicity involving monoamine axons, no prev...
