The hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Curcumin and N-acetylcysteine in rats exposed to arsenic
Introduction: Arsenic is a highly toxic element that is widely distributed in environment. Antioxidants depletion and oxidative stress is now considered as one of the possible mechanisms of arsenic-induced toxicity. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and Curcumin (Cur) are potential antioxidants that can compensate the depletion of antioxidants. This study aimed to compare the hepatoprotective effect of Cu...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of N-acetylcysteine as an antiplatelet agent in patients with type-2 diabetes
BACKGROUND Platelet hyperaggregability is a pro-thrombotic feature of type-2 diabetes, associated with low levels of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Clinical delivery of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a biosynthetic precursor of GSH, may help redress a GSH shortfall in platelets, thereby reducing thrombotic risk in type-2 diabetes patients. We investigated the effect of NAC in vitro, at concentrati...
متن کاملThe Cardioprotective Effects of N acetylcysteine as an Additive to the Blood Cardioplegia During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Introduction: During coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the role of cardioplegic solution which results in cardiac arrest, is critical. This study was planned to evaluate the clinical impacts of N acetylcysteine (NAC) enriched cold-blood cardioplegia on early reperfusion injury in patients with ischaemic heart disease undergoing CABG Methods: In a...
متن کاملN-acetylcysteine in COPD: why, how, and when?
Oxidants have long been recognized to have an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD, and in this cigarette smoke has a strong responsibility, because it generates a conspicuous amount of oxidant radicals able to modify the structure of the respiratory tract and to enhance several mechanisms that sustain lung inflammation in COPD. In fact, oxidative stress is highly increased in COPD and na...
متن کاملNew Benzofuran Derivatives as an Antioxidant Agent
A series of substituted benzofuran derivatives were synthesized and characterized by spectral data. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro antioxidant activity. Some of them have shown very good antioxidant activity. These compounds were also tested for antimicrobial activity against microbial strains viz. staphylococcus aureus (NCIM 5021) and salmonella typhimurium (NCIM 25...
