Protective effect of clonidine against the cardiotoxic effects of ouabain in cat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest were induced in pentobarbitone anaesthetised cats by slow intravenous infusion of ouabain. The dose of ouabain required for the induction of the stages of arrhythmias and cardiac arrest and the maximum pressor effect induced by ouabain were assessed in control and clonidine pretreated cats. Clonidine caused significant delay in the onset of cardiotonic effects of ouabain and inhibition of the maximum pressor effect of ouabain. The inhibition of cardiotoxic and pressor effects of ouabain may be the result of clonidine's effect on the neural components of ouabain action.

Protective Effects of Lycopene and Tomato Extract Against Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity
The protective effect of tomato extract and lycopene on acute doxorubicin-induced myocardial toxicity was evaluated in mice. Doxorubicin toxicity, induced by a single intraperitoneal injection (15 mg/kg), was revealed by elevated serum CPKMB and histopathological observations. Tomato extract (1.2 and 2.4 g/kg, i.p.) and lycopene (1.7 and 3.5 mg/kg, i.p.), prevented the rise in serum CPKM...

Objective(s): The role of aluminum (Al) in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases has been implicated in several studies. However, the exact mechanisms of cytotoxic effects of Al have not been elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of L-type calcium channel antagonist, nimodipine (NM), and lithium chloride (LiCl) on Al-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. Materia...

Abstract Background and Objectives: Doxorubicin as an effective chemotherapeutic agent is frequently used in various cancers. Nowadays, the application of doxorubicin is limited due to its cardiotoxic effects. The important mechanism which is involved in the cardiac injury of doxorubicin is the generation of reactive oxygen species; therefore antioxidant compounds may reduce cardiotoxicity. ...

Background: Oxidative stress has been shown to be an important factor, which plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Heat Shock Protein-27 (HSP-27) has been implicated in antioxidant responses against oxidative stress. Trehalose is a natural disaccharide widely used in a variety of food products with demonstrated protective effects against several neurodegen...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes are a suitable model for assessment of cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin and other drugs
Introduction: Doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancer. Doxorubicin cardiac toxicity has limited the use of this drug. Corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of Doxorubicin and dexamethasone. Methods: Mouse ...
