Anti-oxidant effect of heme oxygenase-1 on cigarette smoke-induced vascular injury
Cigarette smoking, a major independent risk factor of atherosclerosis, can cause oxidative and inflammatory damage of vascular tissue. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an endogenous cytoprotective enzyme with an anti-oxidant role in cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether HO-1 was able to protect vascular and endothelial cells from the oxidative damage induced by cigarette smok...
متن کاملChinese green tea consumption reduces oxidative stress, inflammation and tissues damage in smoke exposed rats
Objective(s):One cause of cigarette smoking is oxidative stress that may alter the cellular antioxidant defense system, induce apoptosis in lung tissue, inflammation and damage in liver, lung, and kidney. It has been shown that Chinese green tea (CGT) (Lung Chen Tea) has higher antioxidant property than black tea. In this paper, we will explore the preventive effect of CGT on cigarette smoke-in...
متن کاملCigarette Smoking and Pachymetry and Specular Microscopy Parameters of Cornea; A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Purpose: To investigate the effect of smoking on corneal parameters, including Endothelial Cell Density, Central Corneal Thickness, Percent of Hexogonality, and Coefficient of Variation. Methods: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of published articles until the end of February 2019. To do this, the first search was done for creditable medical databases such as PubMed, and ISI...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor A gene expression level is higher in patients with major depressive disorder and not affected by cigarette smoking, hyperlipidemia or treatment with statins.
Elevated levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are observed in conditions with vessel and neuron damage or pathological arborization and can therefore be detected in chronic inflammatory process, cardiovascular disease and depression. Hyperlipidemia and cigarette smoking are two factors that have been implicated in endothelial damage. The high comorbidity between cardiovascular di...
متن کاملSmoking a single cigarette rapidly reduces combined concentrations of nitrate and nitrite and concentrations of antioxidants in plasma.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is a well-known risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, yet the mechanism of action involved is not completely understood. Because cigarette smoke contains superoxide and other reactive oxygen species, it has been hypothesized that some of the adverse effects of smoking may result from oxidative damage to endothelial cells, which results in nitric...
