Objective(s): Arsenic, a toxic metal in drinking water and butyric acid (BA) is a free fatty acid found in many foods. These two can induce oxidative stress in some tissues. The present study investigated the protective effect of metformin against toxicity induced by Arsenic (As) and BA in isolated mice liver mitochondria and pancreatic islets. Materials and Methods: In this study, liver mitoch...

acrolein (acr) is α, β unsaturated aldehyde that exists extensively in the environment and (thermally processed) foods. it can also be generated through endogenous metabolism. the aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role of pentoxifylline (ptx) is a non-selective phosphodiesterase (pde) inhibitor on toxicity of acr. in this study, oxidative damage were measured by marke...

Background: Mitochondria are a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and several natural compounds used as antioxidant agents. This study aimed to investigate compare the effects fresh grape juice red wine on oxidative stress biomarkers in rat liver mitochondria. Materials Methods: In this regard, mitochondria were isolated from 27 male Wistar rats (220-250 g). The cultured different doses f...

The concerns about the possible risk of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been raised recently. Nano- and micro-sized copper oxide (CO and CONP) are widely used in many industries. In this regard, in-vitro studies have demonstrated that CONP is a toxic compound in different cell lines. Despite their unique properties, NPs possess unexpected toxicity profiling relative to the bulk m...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the reaction of organism of laboratory animals on deuterium-depleted drinking diet. To assess the cell energy metabolism, the effect of a liquid medium with different deuterium contents on isolated liver mitochondria of random bred rats and Wistar rats was studied. Methods: This experimental study on the effect of deuterium-depleted drinking water (DDW) ...

Calcium (Ca 2+ ) is a second messenger essential for cellular homeostasis. Inside the cell, Ca compartmentalized and exchanged among organelles in response to both external internal stimuli. Mitochondria‐associated membranes (MAMs) provide platform proteins channels involved transfer between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mitochondria. Deregulated signaling regulating ER–mitochondria interactions h...

Elaidic acid (EA) stimulation can lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), accompanied by a large release of Ca2+, and ultimately the activation NLRP3 inflammasome in Kupffer cells (KCs). Mitochondrial instability or dysfunction may be key stimulating factors activate inflammasome, sustained Ca2+ transfer result mitochondrial dysfunction. We focused on KCs explore damag...

conclusions our results suggest that h. parva and h. oculata may be promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of hcc, following further confirmatory in vivo experiments and clinical trials. results our results showed that h. parva methanolic extracts (250, 500, and 1000 µg/ml) and h. oculata methanolic extracts (200, 400, and 800 µg/ml) increased reactive oxygen species (ros) formation...
