Reparative Effects of Astaxanthin-Hyaluronan Nanoaggregates against Retrorsine-CCl₄-Induced Liver Fibrosis and Necrosis.
Astaxanthin (Asta), a xanthophyll carotenoid, has been reported to be a strong antioxidative agent and has anti-inflammatory, antitumor and free radical-scavenging activities. However, inadequate stability and water solubility results in its low bioavailability. This study incorporated Asta into hydrophilic hyaluronan nanoparticles (HAn) to produce Asta-HAn aggregates (AHAna) using an electrost...
متن کاملAnti-hepatofibrotic effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Bombax costatum Pellgr.EtVuillet stem bark against CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in mice
Background & Aim: Bombax costatum stem bark is traditionally used in treatment of liver diseases but the anti-hepatofibrotic effect of its ethyl acetate fraction has not been scientifically evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-hepatofibrotic effect of ethyl acetate fraction of B. costatum stem bark (EAB) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver fibrosis in mice. Experimenta...
متن کاملFucoidan partly prevents CCl4-induced liver fibrosis
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown algae, has a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of fucoidan on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Administration of fucoidan reduced CCl4-induced acute and chronic liver failure. Hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 was also atten...
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Mouse Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Carbon Tetrachloride (Ccl4)-Induced Liver Fibrosis
Purpose: To study the effect of allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) transplantation on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in mice. Materials and Methods: Fifty five female NMRI mice were divided in 5 groups, and to induce liver fibrosis CCL4 intraperitonealy was injected 1ml/Kg twice a week for 8 weeks 106 allogenic BMMSCs were infused in cell therapy group via tail v...
متن کاملBlockade of CCN4 attenuates CCl4-induced liver fibrosis
INTRODUCTION CCN4, also termed WNT-inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP-1), has important roles in inflammation and tissue injury. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CCN4 inhibition using monoclonal anti-CCN4 antibody (CCN4mAb) on the liver injury and fibrosis in a mouse model of liver fibrosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The mouse liver fibrosis model was induced by carbon tetrac...
