Oxidative stress (OS) mediators, together with the inflammatory processes, are considered as threatening factors for bone health. The aim of this study was to investigate effects flavonoids naringenin and chrysin on OS, inflammation, degradation in retinoic acid (13cRA)-induced secondary osteoporosis (OP) rats. We analysed changes body uterine weight, biochemical parameters (bone mineral density (BMD), content (BMC), markers turnover), geometry parameters, histology, OS haematological levels...
In an effort to improve local bladder cancer control, we investigated the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of quercetin on human T24 cells. The effect against cells was examined by MTT test, clonogenic assay as well DNA damaging comet assay. addition, primary culture papillary urothelial carcinoma (PUC), histopathological stage T1 low- or high-grade tumours, investigated. Our analysis demonstrated a high correlation between reduced number colony cell viability increase in damage incubated...
We evaluated the functional capacity of plantaricin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum SF9C and S-layer-carrying brevis SF9B to withstand gastrointestinal transit compete among gut microbiota in vivo. Considering probiotic potential Lb. SF9B, this study aims investigate antibacterial activity their for vivo colonisation rats, which could be basis investigation synergistic functionality.A plantaricin-encoding cluster was identified SF9C, a strain efficiently inhibited growth Listeria...
Nutrition is an important factor that influences bone metabolism, the endocrine and/or paracrine system, and bone-active mineral elements homeostasis. We studied antiosteoporotic effects of grape seed proanthocyanidins extract, icariin or alendronate (ALN) in retinoic acid-induced (13cRA) loss rats. Proanthocyanidins have beneficial on health; they improved weight reduction, length diameter bone, calcium, phosphorus content ash, density (BMD), biochemical markers turnover uterus atrophy...
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are key regulators of the link between inflammation and cancer, interplay TAM tumor cells represents a promising target future therapeutic approaches. We investigated effect gallic acid (GA) caffeic (CA) as strong antioxidant anti-inflammatory agents on growth, angiogenesis, macrophage polarization, oxidative stress angiogenic model caused by intraperitoneal (ip) inoculation Ehrlich ascites (EAT) (2.5 × 106) in Swiss albino mouse. Treatment with GA or CA at...
Iron, as an essential microelement, is involved in cell proliferation, metabolism, and differentiation. It also modulates the fate function of macrophages hematopoiesis macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. On other hand, anesthetics can affect process by modulating response to stress or functions immune cells. The aim this paper understand how excessive iron intake alters physiological, functional characteristics peripheral tissues whether different alter metabolism regarding...
