Protective effect of vitamin D on radiation-induced lung injury: Experimental evidence
Background: Vitamin D, especially its most active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃(Vit D) is essential in regulating a wide variety of biologic processes, such as regulating mesangial cell activation. The objective of this study was to assess the histopathological changes of effectiveness of Vit D as a protective agent against radiation induced lung injury. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Wi...
متن کاملAction of Vitamin E on Experimental Severe Acute Liver Failure.
BACKGROUND Severe Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by hepatocyte necrosis, loss of hepatic architecture, and impairment of liver functions. One of the main causes of ALF is hepatotoxicity from chemical agents, which damage hepatocytes and result in increase of reactive oxygen species. The vitamin E isoform is the one with the strongest biological a...
متن کاملMetformin increases liver accumulation of vitamin B12 - an experimental study in rats.
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Patients treated with metformin exhibit low levels of plasma vitamin B12 (B12), and are considered at risk for developing B12 deficiency. In this study, we investigated the effect of metformin treatment on B12 uptake and distribution in rats. METHODS Sprague Dawley rats (n = 18) were divided into two groups and given daily subcutaneous injections with metformin or saline (cont...

متن کاملChanges in Serum Vitamin B12 Levels in Liver Disease
Vitamin B12 is stored in the liver and raised serum levels of the vitamin, as assayed biologically, are present in a variety of liver disorders, particularly those accompanied by acute necrosis of liver cells. Kristensen (1956) suggested the use of serum vitamin B12 level as a liver function test and Rachmilewitz, Stein, Aronovitch, and Grossowicz (1958), finding raised levels in acute and chro...
