Potential protective roles of phytochemicals on glutamate-induced neurotoxicity: A review
Glutamate, as an essential neurotransmitter, has been thought to have different roles in the central nervous system (CNS), including nerve regeneration, synaptogenesis, and neurogenesis. Excessive glutamate causes an up-regulation of the multiple signaling pathways, including phosphoinositide-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein, mitogen-activat...
متن کاملProtective Effects of Berberine on Bromobenzene-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice
Introduction: Bromobenzene is an environmental toxin whose metabolites cause renal toxicity. The mechanism involved in toxicity includes oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of berberine against bromobenzene-induced renal toxicity in male NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, subjects were divided into five groups. Group I...
متن کاملPramipexole protective effect on rotenone induced neurotoxicity in mice
Introduction: Pramipexole is a new dopaminergic drug which has been approved for PD treatment. However, we tried to find new capacity for this drug rather than symptomatic effect. Materials and Methods: A chronic rotenone model with daily oral dose of 30mg/kg was induced in mice. Pramipexole was tried in a new approach where the treatment began in the middle of rotenone course with oral dose 1m...
متن کاملProtective Effects of N-Acetyl-L-cystein on 3,4-Methylene Dioxymethamphetamie-Induced Neurotoxicity in Cerebellum of Male Rats
Introduction: 3-4, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) causes apoptosis in nervous system and several studies suggest that oxidative stress contributes to MDMA-induced neurotoxicity. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of N-acetyl-L-Cystein (NAC) as an antioxidant on MDMA-induced apoptosis. Methods: 21 Sprague dawley male rats (200-250mg) were treated with MDMA (2×0,5mg/kg) or MDMA...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radio-Protective Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on Radiation-Induced Lethality in Mice
Introduction It has long been known that ionizing radiation can lead to detrimental effects in normal cells. In this light, Radioprotective chemicals have been used to decrease morbidity or mortality caused by ionizing irradiation. This study aimed to evaluate the radio-protective effect of N-acetylcysteineagainst radiation-induced mortality in male mice. Materials and Methods 52 healthy mal...
