Achilles Tendon Healing in Inos Knockout Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nitric oxide (NO), a diatomic free radical, regulates the functions of many mammalian cells. We have previously reported that nitric oxide synthases (iNOS, eNOS and bNOS) are induced during rat tendon healing and inhibition of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) inhibited rat tendon healing [1]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of deleting the iNOS gene on Achilles tendon healing in mice.

متن کاملEffects of Short Term Oral Administration of Curcumin on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rats
Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...

In this study, the role of local injection of butyric acid (BA) with autogenous omental graft was evaluated in healing of experimental Achilles tendon injury in rabbits. Nine adult male New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized and a partial thickness tenotomy was created on both hindlimbs. In treated group, omental graft was secured in place using BA soaked polygalactin 910 suture. In control grou...
