Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate Alleviated Anxiety in Diabetic Mice
Diabetes is often associated with psychological complications such as anxiety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on anxiety of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse using the open field and the elevated plus maze tests. Confirmed diabetic mice (>16.7 mM/l of blood glucose) were treated with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate or 0.9% saline for 10 w. After...
متن کاملPyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate Attenuates Paraquat-Induced Lung Injury in Rats
Paraquat (PQ) has been demonstrated that the main target organ for the toxicity is the lung. This study aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of PDTC on the PQ-induced pulmonary damage. Fifty-four rats were divided into control, PQ-treated and PQ+PDTC-treated groups. Rats in the PQ group were administrated 40 mg/kg PQ by gastric gavage, and PDTC group with 40 mg/kg PQ followed by...
متن کاملMicroRNA-7 activates Nrf2 pathway by targeting Keap1 expression.
Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor that regulates the expression of a number of antioxidant and detoxifying genes that provide cellular protection against various stressors including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nrf2 activity is tightly regulated by a cytoplasmic inhibitory protein called Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). The mechanism that cont...
متن کاملPyrrolidine dithiocarbamate attenuates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury.
Lung injury in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is in part due to polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-mediated oxidative tissue damage. By means of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation, oxidants may also induce several genes implicated in the inflammatory response. The dithiocarbamates are antioxidants with potent inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB. We postulated that the pyrro...
متن کاملDopamine activates Nrf2-regulated neuroprotective pathways in astrocytes and meningeal cells.
The transcription factor Nrf2 controls inducible expression of multiple antioxidant/detoxification genes. We previously found that Nrf2-/- mice have increased sensitivity to in vivo mitochondrial stress and ischemia. Although Nrf2 regulated these forms of neuronal toxicity, it was unclear which injury-triggered signal(s) led to Nrf2 activation in vivo. In this study, we use primary cultures to ...
