In vivo bradykinin B2 receptor activation reduces renal fibrosis.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce the progression of various fibrotic renal diseases both in humans and in animal models. Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is an animal model of accelerated renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis that is attenuated by ACE inhibition. Although ACE inhibitors increase bradykinin concentrations in addition to their effect on angiotensin II format...
متن کاملThe Specific Protein Kinase R (PKR) Inhibitor C16 Protects Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia Brain Damages by Inhibiting Neuroinflammation in a Neonatal Rat Model
BACKGROUND Brain injuries induced by hypoxia-ischemia in neonates contribute to increased mortality and lifelong neurological dysfunction. The specific PKR inhibitor C16 has been previously demonstrated to exert a neuroprotective role in adult brain injuries. However, there is no recent study available concerning its protective role in hypoxia-ischemia-induced immature brain damage. Therefore, ...
متن کاملLarger Volume and Different Activation of the Brain in Response to Threat in Military Officers
Introduction: Military missions involve stressful and life-threatening situations; however, soldiers should have a healthy cognition on the battlefield despite their high-stress levels. This is an ability that should be gained during prior military training. Successful and influential training is suggested to be associated with structural and functional improvements of the brain. Methods: This...
متن کاملPKR as a Regulator of Inflammasome Activation
Detection of pathogen by pattern recognition receptors leads to activation of inflammasome which plays a crucial role in immune system. The inflammasome regulates the release of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18 and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a critical component of an inflammatory complex. Recently, the critical role of ...
متن کاملnormothermic ex vivo lung perfusion in brain-dead donors reduces inflammatory cytokines and toll-like receptor expression
inflammatory responses and innate immunologic reactions play an important role in the respiratory system. ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) is considered a novel method in the evaluation and reconditioning of donor lungs prior to transplantation. however, evlp’s effect on inflammatory and metabolic markers of human lung tissue is unknown. this study investigated how the performance of evlp on brain...
