Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces hepatocellular lipid accumulation through autophagy induction

Influence of Dimethyl Sulfoxide as a Penetration Enhancer of Piroxicam Gel Through Biological Skin

      Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent which has an extensive use in rheumatic disorders. Since its skin penetration is still a subject for research, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on percutaneous penetration of piroxicam gel formulation through skin. In this study, as a model, two types of 0.5% piroxicam new gels, so called red and gr...

Liraglutide reduces lipid accumulation in steatotic L-02 cells by enhancing autophagy

Simple hepatic steatosis is the early stage of non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease and is recognized as a benign process. Previous studies show that glucagon‑like peptide‑1 has great potential in improving hepatic steatosis. Recent data have revealed that inhibiting autophagy exacerbates lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of liraglutide ...

Diaqua­bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)­disaccharinatocadmium

The title compound, [Cd(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], contains a Cd(2+) cation in an octahedral coordination environment. The metal atom is surrounded by the two different neutral ligands dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water, each coordin-ating through the O atom. The anionic saccharinate (sac; 1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1λ(6),2-benzothia-zol-2-ide) ligand coordin-ates through the ...

Clinical Considerations of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

Autophagy induction extends lifespan and reduces lipid content in response to frataxin silencing in C. elegans

Severe mitochondria deficiency leads to a number of devastating degenerative disorders, yet, mild mitochondrial dysfunction in different species, including the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, can have pro-longevity effects. This apparent paradox indicates that cellular adaptation to partial mitochondrial stress can induce beneficial responses, but how this is achieved is largely unknown. Compl...
