Both hydrogen sulfide and endocannabinoids can protect the neural retina from toxic insults under in vitro vivo conditions. Purpose: The aim of present study was two-fold: (a) to examine neuroprotective action cannabinoids [methanandamide 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG)] against peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage isolated bovine (b) evaluate role endogenously biosynthesized (H2S) inhibitory actions on stress retina. Methods: Isolated retinas cows were exposed using H2O2 (100 µM) for 10...
We have evidence that hydrogen sulfide (H
Purpose: To investigate the pharmacological actions of hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-releasing compounds l-cysteine and sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) on aqueous humor (AH) outflow facility in porcine ocular anterior segment. Methods: Porcine segments were perfused with Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium at a constant pressure 7.35 mmHg. After stable baseline, explants exposed to NaHS or l-cysteine. The increase generated by H2S-releasing was measured absence presence inhibitor H2S biosynthesis...
Abstract For reasons poorly understood, and despite the availability of biological medications blocking IL-1 IL-6 that have markedly improved overall disease control, children with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) are now increasingly diagnosed life-threatening chronic complications, including hepatitis lung (SJIA-LD). On October 3–4, 2019, a two-day meeting, NextGen Therapies for & macrophage activation syndrome (MAS ) organized by JIA Foundation ( www.systemicjia.org/ in...

We have further defined the binding characteristics of [3H]nitrendipine to myocardial microsomal membranes cats, dogs, rats, and rabbits canine coronary vasculature (1.5-3.0 mm OD), we studied nitrendipine's effect on contractile responses in isolated feline cardiac muscle arteries. is rapid, saturable, reversible all four species these tissues. Feline myocardium has a single site with dissociation constant (KD) 1.94 nM. Canine may two classes sites, high-affinity having KD 0.17 Nitrendipine...
Both endocannabinoids and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can exert neuroprotective actions against toxic insults in retinal tissues both vitro vivo. The aim of the present study was two fold: (a) to investigate role H2S action cannabinoids oxidative stress bovine isolated retina (b) examine pharmacological effect on production this tissue.
Caffeine/Coffee consumption has been reported to increase the thermic effects of food and fat oxidation (Acheson et al., Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 33: 989, 1980) can cause weight loss in obese subjects (Westerterp‐Plantenga Physiol. Behav. 89:85, 2006). Purpose Since serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT) implicated regulation feeding behavior, aim present study was determine effect extract green coffee bean (GCBE) on uptake radiolabeled ([ 3 H]‐5‐HT) rat brain cortex. Methods Isolated cortex slices...
Both endocannabinoids and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) have been reported to exert neuroprotective actions in neural tissues ( Biermann et al., Mol Vis. 2011;17:1275–86; Nucci Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2007;48(7):2997–3004 ). It remains be determined if these modulators can interact with each other and/or share a common pathway their actions. Purpose The aim of the present study was, therefore, investigate pharmacological on biosynthesis H S isolated bovine retina. Methods Isolated retinae were...
