[ 1 ] - Biological Evaluation of a Siliconized Analog of Clofibrate (Silafibrate) in Rodents

Silicon is the element very similar to carbon, and bioactive siliconized compounds have therefore received much attention. Siliconization of a compound enhances its biological activities. In the present study the hypolipidemic effect and toxicity of clofibrate and its siliconized analog, silafibrate, were compared. The experiments were performed in hypercholesterolemicWistar rats. Animals recei...

[ 3 ] - The Protective Effect of Garlic Extract against Acetaminophen-Induced Loss of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Freshly Isolated Rat Hepatocytes

Overdose of acetaminophen causes severe hepatic necrosis in humans and experimental animals. Studies on its hepatotoxicity remain a very active area since some of current data are still uncertain. In this study, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the effects of garlic extract and its component, allicin on the acetaminophen-induced cell cytotoxicity and to compare with the e...
