Erythropoietin Action in Stress Response, Tissue Maintenance and Metabolism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Erythropoietin (EPO) regulation of red blood cell production and its induction at reduced oxygen tension provides for the important erythropoietic response to ischemic stress. The cloning and production of recombinant human EPO has led to its clinical use in patients with anemia for two and half decades and has facilitated studies of EPO action. Reports of animal and cell models of ischemic stress in vitro and injury suggest potential EPO benefit beyond red blood cell production including vascular endothelial response to increase nitric oxide production, which facilitates oxygen delivery to brain, heart and other non-hematopoietic tissues. This review discusses these and other reports of EPO action beyond red blood cell production, including EPO response affecting metabolism and obesity in animal models. Observations of EPO activity in cell and animal model systems, including mice with tissue specific deletion of EPO receptor (EpoR), suggest the potential for EPO response in metabolism and disease.

The pharmacokinetics of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) administered intravenously has been investigated in a group of five patients with chronic renal failure who were dialysis-dependent. The half-life of circulating erythropoietin decreased from 7.9±OA hr (mean ±SO) at the beginning of treatment to 6.2±O.6 hr after 6 weeks and 5A±O.9 hr after 4 months of treatment. In spite of t...

Introduction & Objective: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by low secretion or resistance to the insulin action. Oxidative stress, as a result of imbalance between the free radical production and antioxidant defense systems is strongly related to diabetes and its complications. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of experimental diabetes and forced treadmill exercise...

Objective(s): Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. The aim of the present work is to investigate the protective effects of erythropoietin against cuprizone-induced oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Adult male C57BL/6J mice were fed a chow containing 0.2 % cuprizone for 6 ...

The effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swelling, flowering and polination) of two wheat cultivars (Ghods : salt-sensitive; Boolani : salt-resistant) on proline concentration and the kinetic activity of proline dehydrogenase was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatment...

Background: Ciprofloxacin was shown to have cytotoxic effects on testicular germ cells. Its mechanism of cytotoxic action is not fully understood. To investigate the possibility of the involvement of an oxidative stress induction in this mechanism, total antioxidant power (TAOP) in the testis was evaluated. Materials and Methods: A number of twenty four mature male NMRI mice were used.The anima...
