The present study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of Malaysian Tualang honey against isoproterenol- (ISO-) induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats by investigating changes in the levels of cardiac marker enzymes, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), lipid peroxidation (LPO) products, and antioxidant defense system combined with histo...

Hitherto unknown effects of Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) in 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU)induced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation were investigated in adult mice. Animals received either PTU (0.05% in drinking water) alone for 5 weeks or PTU + three different concentrations of PQQ, after which alterations in tissue lipid peroxidation (LPO) and in enzymatic activities of superoxide dism...

Pyrethroid pesticides are used preferably over organochlorines and organophosphates due to their high effectiveness, low toxicity to non-target organisms and easy biodegradibility. However, it is possible that during the pyrethroid metabolism, there is generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pyrethroids may produce oxidative stress in intoxicated rats. The present study was therefore, u...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is the evaluation of the influence of repeated (5 times for 15 min) exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) of 1800 MHz frequency on tissue lipid peroxidation (LPO) both in normal and inflammatory state, combined with analgesic treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) as the end-product of the lipid peroxidation (LPO) was esti...

Chronic toxicity of copper (Cu) at sublethal levels is associated with ionoregulatory disturbance and oxidative stress. These factors were considered in a toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic model the present study. The was evaluated by activity Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme (NKA), while stress presented lipid peroxidation (LPO) glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity. NKA related to binding Cu2+ Na + NKA. LPO...

Abstract Protein content and antioxidants in both bee bread honeybee workers were analyzed investigating the relationships between those two parameters. Results indicated significant differences protein antioxidant [total (TAX), glutathione (GSH) lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels] of types. Generally, fed sugar syrup only (control) had significantly lower content, superoxide dismutase (SOD), cata...

Oxidative stress is believed to initiate and aggravate many diseases including peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. We observed an increase in rat gastric mucosal lipid peroxidation (LPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a decrease in catalase (CAT) levels in cold restraint stress-induced gastric ulceration while, in clinical peptic ulceration and gastric carcinoma patients, an increase in se...

Increasing use of nuclear radiation for human welfare necessitates a new, safe and cost effective radio protector not only for personnel’s charged with responsibility of testing or with radiations in laboratories, but also for the general public. Keeping this view, this study has been undertaken to find out the possible radio protective potential of the Grewia asiatica fruit pulp extract (GAE),...
