Schisandrin B enhances cerebral mitochondrial antioxidant status and structural integrity, and protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.
Schisandrin B (Sch B), a dibenzocyclooctadiene derivative isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, has been shown to enhance mitochondrial antioxidant status in liver, heart and brain tissues in rodents. Whether or not long-term Sch B treatment can protect against oxidative stress-induced cerebral damage remains unclear. In the present study, the effect of long-term Sch B treatment (1-3...
متن کاملPomegranate extract protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and preserves brain DNA integrity in rats.
AIM Interruption to blood flow causes ischemia and infarction of brain tissues with consequent neuronal damage and brain dysfunction. Pomegranate extract is well tolerated, and safely consumed all over the world. Interestingly, pomegranate extract has shown remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models. Many investigators consider natural extracts as novel therapie...
متن کاملSchisandrin B Enhances Hepatic/Myocardial Glutathione Regeneration Capacity and Protects Against Oxidant Injury in Rat Livers and Hearts
The effects of schisandrin B (Sch B), curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and resveratrol on the glutathione regeneration capacity (GRC) of liver and heart tissues ex vivo were examined in relation to their protective effects against CCl4 hepatotoxicity in vivo and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ex vivo in rats. Results indicated that Sch B, but not curcumin, EGCG or resvera...
متن کاملLeonurine protects middle cerebral artery occluded rats through antioxidant effect and regulation of mitochondrial function.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oxidative stress is known to be involved in ischemic stroke. Intense interest is drawn to the therapeutic potential of Chinese herbs on ischemic stroke because many of them contain antioxidant properties. Leonurine, 1 of the active compounds from purified Herba Leonuri, was studied to evaluate its possible therapeutic effects on ischemic stroke. Method-Middle cerebral art...
متن کاملAtorvastatin protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
In addition to its lipid-lowering effect, atorvastatin exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as well. In this study, we hypothesized that atorvastatin could protect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion model was established, and atorvastatin, 6.5 mg/kg, was administered by gavage. We found that, after cerebral ischemia/reperfus...
