Rho/rho-kinase signalling in chronically alcohol-fed mice.
BACKGROUND/AIM The effects of chronic ethanol consumption on male sexual function are debateable, and its effects on the Rho/Rho-kinase pathway are unknown. Therefore, we investigated smooth muscle reactivity and Rho/Rho-kinase signalling in the corpus cavernosum of ethanol-fed mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethanol was added to drinking water at 5% concentration in the first 2 days with 5% incr...
متن کاملFatty liver and plasma corticosterone levels in chronically alcohol- and pair-fed rats.
quots of mucosal solution were taken for assay of HCO; and K + at 12, 36, and 108 min. The ion concentration determinations were then corrected for changes in volume due to sampling. Stomachs removed from rats, orally pretreated for 30 min with either SCN(75 mg/kg) or saline [0.9./0 (w/v) NaCl] and then orally challenged for 1 h with 100% (v/v) ethanol made acidic with concentrated HCI, were sc...
متن کاملLipid peroxidation in rats chronically fed ethanol.
Chronic alcohol consumption induces cytochrome P450IIE1, enabling habitual abusers to consume far greater quantities of alcohol than normal subjects. This pathway of metabolism leads to the production of free radical species, which cause tissue damage through peroxidation of cell membranes. Groups of Wistar rats of equal male: female ratio (n = 24) were fed alcohol by gavage twice daily to achi...
متن کاملMice Chronically Fed High-Fat Diet Have Increased Mortality and Disturbed Immune Response in Sepsis
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a potentially deadly disease that often is caused by gram-positive bacteria, in particular Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). As there are few effective therapies for sepsis, increased basic knowledge about factors predisposing is needed. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The purpose of this study was to study the effect of Western diet on mortality induced by intravenous S....
متن کاملInsights into cGMP signalling derived from cGMP kinase knockout mice.
cGMP signalling plays an important physiological role in diverse organs including the vasculature, the GI-tract and the nervous system. Furthermore, cGMP-elevating substances such as glyceryl trinitrate are important drugs used in cardiovascular diseases. Physiologically, cGMP synthesis is induced by nitric oxide (NO) and natriuretic peptides through the stimulation of guanylyl cyclases. Major ...
