[ 1 ] - Inhibitory Effects of Resveratrol against Mitochondrial Toxicity Induced by Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Isolated Liver Mitochondria of Male Rats

 Background and purpose: Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally polyphenolic compound found in grapes and other plant sources. It has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidative properties.The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol against Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) induced mitochondrial toxicity in isolated liver mitochondria. Materials and methods: Mitochondr...

[ 2 ] - Curcumin Ameliorates Sodium Valproate Induced Neurotoxicity through Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Preventing Mitochondrial Impairments

Background and purpose: Curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound in turmeric (Curcuma longa). Curcumin has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant properties that could significantly reduce oxidative damage. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to valproate sodium induced tissue damage. This study investigated the protective effects of curcumin against valproate so...
