Impact of thiamine supplementation in the reversal of ethanol induced toxicity in rats.
One of the molecular mechanisms of alcohol induced toxicities is mediated by oxidative stress. Hence our studies were focused on the effect of thiamine (antioxidant) in the reversal of alcohol induced toxicity and comparison of the reversal with abstinence. Administration of ethanol at a dose of 4 g/kg body wt/day for 90 days to Sprague Dawley rats manifested chronic alcohol induced toxicity ev...
متن کاملAlcohol dependence: is carbohydrate-deficient transferrin a marker for alcohol intake?
We investigated %CDT (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) in 92 ethanol-intoxicated alcohol-dependent patients after consecutive admission to hospital and followed the for 28 days under controlled conditions. At admission, 63% (58 patients) showed elevated CDT (> 2.5%) and 34 patients (37%) had normal CDT levels (< 2.5%). No correlation of the %CDT values to alcohol-related disabilities, severi...
متن کاملAlcohol abuse-duration dependent decrease in plasma testosterone and antioxidants in males.
Ethanol is a testicular toxin and it causes fertility abnormalities with low sperm count and impaired sperm motility in men. The present study was designed to investigate plasma testosterone level and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis function in alcoholic men and also effect of ethanol on systemic oxidative stress. Forty six male alcohol abusers in the age group 20-40 years were select...
متن کاملChronic alcoholism alters systemic and pulmonary glutathione redox status.
RATIONALE Previous studies have linked the development and severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome with a history of alcohol abuse. In clinical studies, this association has been centered on depletion of pulmonary glutathione and subsequent chronic oxidant stress. OBJECTIVES The impact on redox potential of the plasma or pulmonary pools, however, has never been reported. METHODS Pla...
متن کاملEffect of Prolonged High-Fat Diet on Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis in Rats
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a prolonged high-fat (HF) on thiol-disulfide homeostasis via the activity of the glutathione redox-system (GRS) in rat blood and liver. Methods: The experiment was conducted on male Wistar rats. They were divided into groups and fed on the HF diet for 30, 90 and 180 days, respectively. The HF diet consisted of beef fat and cholesterol (19 % a...
