Altered Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
OBJECTIVE In the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), an increase of oxidative stress could play an important role which is closely linked with insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. The aim of our study was to assess several parameters of the antioxidant status in MetS. METHODS 40 subjects with MetS and 40 age- and sex-matched volunteers without MetS...
متن کاملDynorphin- and enkephalin-like immunoreactivity is altered in limbic-basal ganglia regions of rat brain after repeated electroconvulsive shock.
In an attempt to determine whether the opioid peptides derived from prodynorphin participate in the effects of electroconvulsive shock (ECS), we used radioimmunoassay and immunocytochemistry to measure dynorphin-like immunoreactivity (DN-LI) in various rat brain regions after repeated ECS treatments. Ten daily ECSs caused a significant increase in dynorphin A (1-8)-LI in most limbic-basal gangl...
متن کاملAmelioration of Altered Serum, Liver, and Kidney Antioxidant Enzymes Activities by Sodium Selenite in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective effect of sodium selenite on serum, liver, and kidney antioxidant enzymes activities in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups; Group one as control, Group two as sham-treated with sodium selenite by 1 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections ...
متن کاملElectroconvulsive seizures induce endothelial cell proliferation in adult rat hippocampus.
BACKGROUND Electroconvulsive seizures, an animal model for electroconvulsive treatment, induce a strong increase in neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult rats. Hippocampal neurogenesis has previously been described as occurring in an angiogenic niche. This study examines the effect of electroconvulsive seizures on proliferation of vascular cells in rat hippocampus. METHODS Rats were inje...
متن کاملCorticosterone-induced inhibition of gliogenesis in rat hippocampus is counteracted by electroconvulsive seizures.
BACKGROUND Volumetric changes and glial pathology have been reported in the central nervous system (CNS) of patients with depressive disorder, an illness often associated with elevated glucocorticoid levels. Glucocorticoids reduce gliogenesis in the adult rat CNS. Electroconvulsive seizure (ECS)-treatment, an animal model for the antidepressant treatment electroconvulsive therapy, can enhance p...
