Effects of Cortisone , Hydrocortisone and Corticotropin on Lipemia , Glycemia and Atherogenesis in Cholesterol - Fed Chicks

HUMAN beings with hyperadrenocorticism (e.g. Cushing's syndrome) frequently develop premature, severe atherosclerosis.7' 8 This fact assumes new importance at the present time, when chronic hyperadrenocortical states are being artificially induced on a large scale for therapeutic purposes. The widespread utilization of corticotropin (ACTH) and adrenal steroids in clinical medicine compels a tho...

Effects of chronic crocin treatment on desoxycorticosterone acetate (doca)-salt hypertensive rats

  Objective(s): In this study, the effects of chronic administration of crocin, an active constituent of saffron, on blood pressures of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced hypertensive rats, were investigated.   Materials and Methods: Five week administration of three doses of crocin (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day) and spironolactone (50 mg/kg/day) in different...

The Effect of Chronic Administration of Safranal on Systolic Blood Pressure in Rats

Safranal, the main component of Crocus sativus essential oil, exhibits different pharmacological activities. In this study, the effects of safranal, on blood pressure of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced hypertensive rats in chronic administration were investigated. Three doses of safranal (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg/day) and spironolactone (50 mg/kg/day) were administra...
