The tissue distribution and excretion of radioactive digitoxin; studies on normal rats and cats, and rats with dietary induced myocardial lesions.

چکیده
The tissue distribution and excretion of radioactive digitoxin and its metabolites were studied in normal rats and cats and in rats with dietary induced myocardial lesions. The prolonged cardiac and renal retention of digitoxin and its derivatives, associated with the persistence of these substances in the excreta of sensitive animals, supports the concept of storage as an explanation for the cumulative action of certain of the cardiac glycosides. There is a suggestive increase in digitoxin metabolism in heart failure.

Histopathological Study of Protective Effects of Honey on Subacute Toxicity of Acrylamide-Induced Tissue Lesions in Rats’ Brain and Liver
Background: The therapeutic potential of honey is related to antioxidant activity against reactive oxygen species because it contains compounds such as polyphenols; therefore, we evaluated the potential protective effect of honey on subacute toxicity of ACR by histopathologic study on tissue lesions in rat. Methods: In Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran, 2016, male Wistar rats were ...
متن کاملHepatoprotective effects of betaine on liver damages followed by myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is commonly considered as a leading cause of cardiovascular disease taking the lives of seven million people annually. Liver dysfunction is associated with cardiac diseases. The profile of abnormal liver functions in heart failure is not clearly defined. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of betaine on liver injury after myocardial infarction ind...

In the present study, we investigated the effects of histidine and vitamin C (alone or in combination) treatments against isoproterenol (a β-adrenergic receptor agonist)-induced acute myocardial infarction in rats. We used propranolol (a β-adrenergic receptor blocker) to compare the results. Rats were given intraperitoneal injections of histidine (40 mg kg-1) and vitamin C (40 mg kg<...

The present study was aimed at elucidating the protective effect of ferulic acid (FA), a natural polyphenol against nicotine-induced tissue damage, including lung, liver and kidney of experimental rats. Female albino rats of Wistar stain were used for the experimental study. Lung toxicity was induced by subcutaneous injection of nicotine at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight (5 days a week, for 22...
