[ 1 ] - Hydrogen sulfide treatment protects against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury via induction of heat shock proteins in rats
Objective(s): Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in different organs. However, its mechanism of action in renal IRI remains unclear. The present study investigated the hypothesis that H2S attenuates renal IRI via the induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs).Materials and Methods: Adult Wistar rats were subjected to unilateral renal ischemia for 45 min followed by...
[ 2 ] - GYY4137 a H2S donor, attenuates ipsilateral epididymis injury in experimentally varicocele-induced rats via activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway
Objective(s): The current study was aimed to investigate the effect of morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl (morpholino) phosphinodithioate (GYY4137) on ipsilateral epididymis injury in a rat model of experimental varicocele (VC).Materials and Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were randomly assigned to sham, sham plus GYY4137, VC and VC plus GYY4137...
