The Effect of Aminoguanidine on the Oxidation of Formaldehyde by Rat Liver by Frederick Bernheim
نویسنده
چکیده
Formaldehyde was shown to be a normal metabolite when Handler, Bernheim, and Klein (1) found sarcosine oxidase which catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine to glycine and formaldehyde. Sakami (2), Welsh and Sakami (3), and Stekol et al. (4) have recently presented evidence that formate may provide the animal with necessary methyl groups. It was therefore of interest to investigate the oxidation of formaldehyde to formic acid in vitro in animal tissue. It apparently has been assumed that xanthine oxidase or aldehyde oxidase is responsible for its metabolism.

متن کاملHistopathologic Changes of Rat Liver Following Formaldehyde Exposure
Purpose: This study was designed to determine the histopathologic changes of rat liver while all of the experiments were exposed to formaldehyde for 18 weeks. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 28, 6-7 week postantal allbino wistar rats. The rats were divided into 3 case groups (E1: 4h/d, 4d/w; E2: 2h/d, 4d/w; E3: 2h/d, 2d/w) and 1 control group. The liver specimens were sectio...
متن کاملThe effect of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal from Clitoria macrophylla Wall. on rat liver mitochondrial respiration and ATPase activity
A Thai plant Clitoria macrophylla Wall. was claimed to possess some pharmacological activities. The phytochemical studies reported a rotenoid compound, 6-deoxyclitoriacetal, which exhibits the cytotoxic effect in several cell line experiments. This report was to study the effect of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal on rat liver mitochondria, which may associated to its cytotoxic phenomena. Mitochondrial sus...

متن کاملEvaluation the protective effect of aminoguanidine on cortex and striatum damage in acute phase of focal cerebral ischemia in rat
Introduction: Several studies have indicated that late treatment of aminoguanidine (AG) reduces cerebral ischemic injuries in animal models. However, the effects of early treatment of AG on cerebral ischemic damage are not well understood. This study was designed to evaluate effect of early treatment of AG on cortex and striatum injuries as well as neurological dysfunctions in transient mode...
