Tnf-α Neutralization Ameliorates Obstruction-induced Renal Fibrosis and Dysfunction
Upper urinary tract obstruction results in tubulointerstitial fibrosis and a progressive decline in renal function. Although several inflammatory mediators have been implicated in the pathophysiology of renal obstruction, the contribution of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) to obstruction-induced fibrosis and renal dysfunction has not been thoroughly evaluated. To study this, male Sprague-Dawley...
متن کاملApelin Ameliorates TNF-α-Induced Reduction of Glycogen Synthesis in the Hepatocytes through G Protein-Coupled Receptor APJ
Apelin, a novel adipokine, is the specific endogenous ligand of G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Consistent with its putative role as an adipokine, apelin has been linked to states of insulin resistance. However, the function of apelin in hepatic insulin resistance, a vital part of insulin resistance, and its underlying mechanisms still remains unclear. Here we define the impacts of apelin on TN...
متن کاملTNF-α Involvement in Insulin Resistance Induced by Experimental Scorpion Envenomation
BACKGROUND Scorpion venom induces systemic inflammation characterized by an increase in cytokine release and chemokine production. There have been few experimental studies assessing the effects of scorpion venom on adipose tissue function in vivo. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To study the adipose tissue inflammation (ATI) induced by Androctonus australis hector (Aah) venom and to assess pos...
متن کاملTWEAK prevents TNF-α-induced insulin resistance through PP2A activation in human adipocytes.
Visceral fat is strongly associated with insulin resistance. Obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and inflammatory cytokine production are considered key mediators of insulin signaling inhibition. TWEAK is a relatively new member of the TNF cytokine superfamily, which can exist as full length membrane-associated (mTWEAK) and soluble (sTWEAK) isoforms. Although TWEAK has been shown to ...
متن کاملBerberis integerrima ameliorates insulin resistance in high- fructose-fed insulin-resistant rats
Objective(s): This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Berberis integerrima (B. integerrima) extract on insulin sensitivity in high-fructose-fed insulin-resistant rats. Materials and Methods: Experimental rats were randomly divided into two groups: the control group was fed a regular chow diet while other group fed with a high-fructose diet for 8 weeks. After the first six weeks, the a...
