Hyperammonemia is associated with chronic and acute liver injury. There no promising therapeutic agent against ammonia-induced complications. Hence, finding molecules safe profile of administration has clinical value. The present study was conducted to evaluate the role taurine (TA) on plasma brain ammonia its consequent events in different models injury hyperammonemia. Bile duct ligated (BDL) rats were used as a model Thioacetamide acetaminophen-induced failure models. A high level detected...

Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal widely dispersed in the environment because of human industrial activities. Many studies revealed that Pb could adversely affect several organs, including male reproductive system. Pb-induced toxicity lead to infertility. Thus, finding safe and clinically applicable protective agents against this complication important. It has been found oxidative stress plays fundamental role pathogenesis reprotoxicity. Glycine simplest amino acid with wide range...

Fluoride (F) is capable of promoting abnormal proliferation and differentiation in primary cultured mouse osteoblasts (OB cells), although the underlying mechanism responsible remains rare. This study aimed to explore roles wingless INT-1 (Wnt) signaling pathways screen appropriate doses calcium (Ca2+) alleviate sodium fluoride (NaF)-induced OB cell toxicity. For this, we evaluated effect dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) Ca2+ on mRNA levels wingless/integrated 3a (Wnt3a), low-density...

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome ensuing from liver failure. The the major site of ammonia detoxification in human body. Hence, acute and chronic dysfunction can lead to hyperammonemia. Manganese (Mn) trace element incorporated several physiological processes Mn excreted through bile. It has been found that cirrhosis associated with hyperammonemia as well body accumulation. brain primary target organ for both toxicity. On other hand, mitochondria impairment involved...

Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a well‐known neurodegenerative disorder, causing toxicity in different organs, such as spinal cord tissue. The goal of this study was to investigate the protective effect ellagic acid (EA) against and sciatica function cuprizone (Cup)‐induced demyelination model. Animals were divided into six equal groups. first group received tap water control. Cup treated with (0.2% w/w fed). EA 100 orally (100 mg/kg). + groups three doses 5, 50, mg/kg plus w/w). All...
