BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to observe the concentration of SP-A/B and the pulmonary surfactant in the lung tissue of rats with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by paraquat poisoning after the treatment of metabolic antioxidant-lipoic acid and whether its influence was related to TNF-α. METHODS Sixty-six male Sprage-Dawley rats were randomly divided into t...
Effect of glutathione (GSH) depletion on paraquat (PQ) toxicity in the liver and kidneys of mice was examined. Glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in plasma of mice were hardly changed by treatment with 150 micro mol/kg of PQ. However, significant increases in the plasma GPT and BUN levels after PQ injection were observed in mice which were pretreated with ...
Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium chloride, PQ) is a non-selective herbicide, and PQ poisoning by accidental or intentional ingestion is a cause of numerous fatalities around the world every year. Although a great deal of research has been conducted into the development of an acceptable treatment for PQ poisoning, no effective guidelines f...
Acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin is the most widely used drug globally for its anti-inflammatory characteristics, although little known about actions on central nervous system (CNS). We investigated aspirin's potential neuroprotective effects against paraquat-induced neurotoxicity (PQ) in present study. Adult male wild-type flies were exposed to a diet containing PQ (3 mM) and/or (1 μM; 5 10 μM)...
Multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1/solute carrier 47A1) mediates cellular transport of a variety of structurally diverse compounds. Paraquat (PQ), which has been characterized in vitro as a MATE1 substrate, is a widely used herbicide and can cause severe toxicity to humans after exposure. However, the contribution of MATE1 to PQ disposition in vivo has not been determined. In the present st...
The aim of the present study was to investigate effect swertiamarin (STM) in attenuating paraquat (PQ)-induced human lung alveolar epithelial-like cell (A549) apoptosis and underlying mechanisms. A549 cells were pretreated with different concentrations STM for 2 hr then cultured or without PQ (700 μM) 24 hr. Cell survival determined using CCK8 assay. Morphological changes, MDA content, inflamma...
Paraquat (PQ) is a highly toxic herbicide which is able to induce pulmonary fibrosis in humans and animals. The epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) was demonstrated to be an important factor in pulmonary fibrosis. However, it has remained elusive whether PQ induces pulmonary fibrosis via EMT, which was therefore investigated in the present study. In addition, the underlying mechanisms of...
Paraquat (N,N-dimethyl-4-4'-bipiridinium; PQ), a widely used herbicide, when ingested accidentally or intentionally can cause major organ toxicities in lung, liver, and kidney. Because PQ is primarily eliminated in the kidney, renal elimination, including tubular transport, plays a critical role in controlling systemic exposure to the herbicide. The goal of this study was to determine the molec...
background: paraquat (pq) poisoning is highly fatal; and therefore, clinicians should be familiar with prompt approach to and poor prognostic features of this type of poisoning. hence, in this study, clinical profile, management and outcome of a series of patients with pq poisoning are presented. methods: a retrospective review of medical records of patients poisoned with pq who were treated at...
Paraquat (PQ), as a highly effective and nonselective herbicide, induces cell apoptosis through generation of superoxide anions which forms reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria, as regulators for cellular redox signaling, have been proved to play an important role in PQ-induced cell apoptosis. This study aimed to evaluate whether and how mitochondrial fission interacts with oxidative str...
