Erratum to: Ceratonia siliqua pod extract ameliorates Schistosoma mansoni-induced liver fibrosis and oxidative stress
BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis is a prevalent parasitic disease found predominantly in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the developing world, with the second highest socioeconomic and public health burden despite strenuous control efforts. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of Ceratonia siliqua pod extract (CPE) on liver fibrosis and oxidative stress in mice in...
متن کاملGastroprotective effect of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) against ethanol-induced oxidative stress in rat
BACKGROUND We aimed in the present study, at investigating the gastroprotective effect of carob pods aqueous extract (CPAE) against ethanol-induced oxidative stress in rats as well as the mechanism implicated. METHODS Adult male wistar rats were used and divided into six groups of ten each: control, EtOH (80% v/v, 4 g/kg b.w.), EtOH 80% + various doses of CPAE (500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg, b.w.)...
متن کاملNeopterin as a Biomarker in Liver Fibrosis of Schistosoma Mansoni
Background and Aim of the Work : The hepatic form of the schistosomiasis disease was associated with granuloma, which is associated with collagen deposition, fibrosis of the liver and hepatosplenomegaly in severe cases. Neopterin, a pteridine derivative, is produced by activated macrophages and represents a marker of cell-mediated immunity in immune activation. Bees create propolis by collectin...
متن کاملAmelioration of Murine Schistosoma mansoni Induced Liver Fibrosis by Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Schistosomiasis is a common chronic helminthic infection of the liver that causes hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension,contributing to the death of over half a million people a year. Infusion of autologous bone marrow cells into patients with hepatic cirrhosis has been reported to ameliorate symptoms of portal hypertension and improve liver function, either by conversion of the infused mese...
متن کاملThymoquinone restores liver fibrosis and improves oxidative stress status in a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation model in rats
Objective: Liver fibrosis is the primary sign of chronic liver injury induced by various causes. Thymoquinone (TQ) is the major ingredient of Nigella sativa with several beneficial effects on the body. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of TQ on liver fibrosis in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in male rats. Materials and methods: Fifty male Wistar rats wer...
