Testosterone Depletion by Castration May Protect Mice from Heat-Induced Multiple Organ Damage and Lethality
When the vehicle-treated, sham-operated mice underwent heat stress, the fraction survival and core temperature at +4 h of body heating were found to be 5 of 15 and 34.4 degrees C +/- 0.3 degrees C, respectively. Castration 2 weeks before the start of heat stress decreased the plasma levels of testosterone almost to zero, protected the mice from heat-induced death (fraction survival, 13/15) and ...
متن کاملProgesterone and Cilostazol Protect mice pancreatic islets from oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide
Abstract Reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress impair β-cell function and reduce insulin secretion. It has been shown that progesterone and cilostazol possess antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed to investigate in vitro pretreatment effect of progesterone and cilostazol on insulin secretion as well as their protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative str...

متن کاملNanodiamonds protect skin from ultraviolet B-induced damage in mice
BACKGROUND Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes various deleterious effects, and UV blockage is recommended for avoiding sunburn. Nanosized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide offer effective protection and enhance cosmetic appearance but entail health concerns regarding their photocatalytic activity, which generates reactive oxygen species. These concerns are absent in nanodiamonds (NDs). Among...
متن کاملP-8: Testosterone Enanthate Protects Seminal Vesicles from Damage Induced by Chemotherapy
Background: Chemotherapy or irradiation is associated with impaired fertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role of testosterone enanthate (TE) on the proliferative activity, plasma testosterone level and morphometry of epithelial cells of seminal vesicles in busulfan-induced spermiotoxicity. Materials and Methods: Sprague- Dawley rats were divided into 4 gro...
