چکیده
normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: this study was aimed to evaluate protective and therapeutic effects of a specific mixture, containing vitamin c, lysine, proline, epigallocatechin gallate and zinc, as well as alpha-1-antitrypsin protein on lung tumorigenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene (b (a) p) in mice. materials and methods: swiss albino mice were divided into two main experiments, experiment (1) the mice were injected with 100 mg/kg b (a) p and lasted for 28 weeks, while experiment (2) the mice were injected with 8 doses each of 50 mg/kg b (a) p and lasted for 16 weeks. each experiment divided into fi ve groups, group (i) received vehicle, group (ii) received the protector mixture, group (iii) received the carcinogen, group (iv) received the protector together with the carcinogen (simultaneously) and group (v) received the carcinogen then the protector (consecutively). results: total sialic acid, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, vascular epithelial growth factor, hydroxyproline levels, as well as elastase and gelatinase activities showed significant elevation in group (iii) in the two experiments comparing to control group ( p < 0.001). these biochemical alterations were associated with histopathological changes. administration of the protector in group iv and group v causes significant decrease in such parameters when compared with group iii in the two experiments ( p < 0.001). conclusion: th e present protector mixture has the ability to suppress neoplastic alteration and restore the biochemical and histopathological parameters towards normal on lung carcinogenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene in mice. furthermore, the present mixture have more protective rather than therapeutic action.

Effect of Epigallocatechin Gallate and Catechin on Overexpression of GSK-3β and IR Genes Induced by Streptozotocin in Rat Brain
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the significant risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD). Defects in insulin signaling pathway induce AD hallmarks mainly through activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) pathway. Objectives: In this study, we investigated the expression of GSK-3β and insulin receptor (IR) genes in the hippocampi of an animal model of sporadic AD ...
متن کاملEpigallocatechin gallate suppresses peritoneal fibrosis in mice.
Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) leads to histological changes in the peritoneal membrane. Angiogenesis and inflammation caused by glucose degradation products (GDPs) play crucial roles in peritoneal fibrosis. One such GDP is methylglyoxal (MGO), which enhances the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs bind to their receptor (RAGE) and activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), w...
متن کاملThe effect of epigallocatechin gallate on intestinal motility in mice.
OBJECTIVES The epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) that is present in human diet originates mainly from tea leaves. Catechins have a number of possible application as medicines, however, there is no consistent evidence showing their influence on the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of EGCg on the motility of the murine isolated intestine. ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Epigallocatechin gallate on Morphine Induced Working Memory Defects in Rats: An Experimental Study
Background and Objectives: Chronic morphine use leads to structural changes in the brain. Some studies have shown the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as a main polyphenol of green tea. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of EGCG on working memory in morphine-treated rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32...

Alpha 1 antitrypsin (alpha 1 AT) serum concentration was determined for a group of coalminers with particularly low levels of lung function, not thought to be explicable in terms of age and dust exposure, and compared with two other groups of coalminers who had average or above average lung function. There was no evidence for an alpha 1 AT deficiency in coalminers with poor lung function. On th...
