[ 1 ] - Combined postconditioning with ischemia and cyclosporine-A restore oxidative stress and histopathological changes in reperfusion injury of diabetic myocardium
Objective(s): Chronic diabetes impedes cardioprotection in reperfusion injury and hence protecting the diabetic heart would have important outcomes. In this study, we evaluated whether combined postconditioning with ischemia and cyclosporine-A can restore oxidative stress and histopathological changes in reperfusion injury of the diabetic myocardium. Materials and Methods: Streptozocin-induced ...
[ 2 ] - Protective Effect of Diosgenin and Exercise Training on Biochemical and ECG Alteration in Isoproterenol- Induced Myocardial Infarction in Rats
Objective(s) Several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (MI). This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant status (TAS), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardi...
[ 3 ] - Amlodipine Ameliorates Up-Regulation of ET-1 in Left Ventricle of Hypercholesterolemia Rabbits
Objective(s) In addition to antihypertensive effects, amlodipine may exhibit cardiovascular protective effects in heart tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of amlodipine and/or high cholesterol diet on blood, heart tissue concentration and mRNA expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in male New Zealand white rabbits. Materials and Methods A total of 40 male New Zealand rabbi...
[ 4 ] - The Pattern of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in the Hippocampus of Diabetic Rats
Objective(s) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of regular exercise in preventing diabetes complication in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Materials and Methods A total of 48 male wistar rats were divided into four groups (control, control exercise, diabetic and diabetic exercise). Diabetes was induced by injection of single dose of STZ. Exercise ...
[ 5 ] - Effect of endurance training and cinnamon supplementation on post-exercise oxidative responses in rats
Despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. The present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (CBE) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. The rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...
[ 6 ] - تأثیر آملودیپین بر غلظت بافتی اندوتلین درشریان کاروتید خرگوش های دریافت کننده رژیم غذایی با کلسترول بالا
Introduction & Objective: Endothelin-1 is involved in induction and progression of atherosclerosis. Since several changes with abnormality in transferring of calcium ions have been seen in atherosclerotic vessels, it is supposed that calcium channel blockers can slowdown the process of atherosclerosis. Materials & Methods: This study was an interventional experiment. 36 Newsland white male r...
