The aim of the work was to investigate antitumoral effect of essential oils on cancer cells and their possible protective
(antioxidant) effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity. Also, in vitro antioxidant properties of essential oils
and aqueous extracts from wild form and cultivated form of Salvia pisidica were compared. 相似文献

The present work proposes the use of Pleurotus ostreatus immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 as new biosorbent in trace metal determination. The effects of experimental parameters, such as “pH and flow rate of sample solution, amount of solid phase, eluent type, and concentration” on the recovery of the metal ions were investigated. Maximum adsorption of Cr(III), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions took place in the pH range 4-5. These metal ions can be desorbed with 1 M HCl (recovery 95-100%). 0.2 g adsorbent amount and 2.5 mL min−1 flow rate was found to be optimum of all preconcentration experiments. The sorption capacity after 10 cycles of sorption and desorption does not vary more than 2.0%. The influences of the contaminant ions on the retentions of the analytes were also examined. The results showed that P. ostreatus immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 can be considered as very promising material in trace metal determination. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate possible protective effects of melatonin on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced renal damage in rats. A total of 24 animals were divided into three equal groups: the control rats received pure olive oil subcutaneously, rats in the second group were injected with CCl4 (0.5 ml kg-1, s.c. in olive oil) and rats in the third group were injected with CCl4 (0.5 ml kg-1) plus melatonin (25 mg kg-1, s.c. in 10% ethanol) every other day for 1 month. At the end of the experimental period, the animals were sacrificed and blood samples were collected. The kidneys were removed and weighed. Urea and creatinine levels were determined in blood samples. Histopathological examination of the kidney was performed using light microscopic methods. Administration of CCl4 significantly increased relative kidney weight (g per 100 g body weight) and decreased serum urea levels compared to controls (p<0.01). Melatonin treatment significantly (p<0.01) reduced relative kidney weight, and it produced a statistically equal (p=0.268) relative weight with the kidneys of control rats. CCl4 administration alone also caused histopathologically prominent damage in the kidney compared to the control group. Glomerular and tubular degeneration, interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration and fibrosis, vascular congestion around the tubules, and interstitial haemorrhage in perivascular areas were observed in the renal cortex and cortico-medullary border. However, the affect of CCl4 on the medulla was limited. Melatonin provided protection against CCl4-induced renal toxicity as was evident by histopathological evaluation. In view of the present findings, it is suggested that melatonin protects kidneys against CCl4 toxicity. 相似文献

The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of 3,3′,5-triiodothyronine (T3) on rat testis both morphometrically and immunohistochemically with determining of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) expression. Adult male Wistar-albino rats used in the study were divided into two groups; control and T3-treated groups. After T3 treatment there was observed to be a decrease in testicular weights, diameters of seminiferous tubules and the number of sertoli cells, and an increase in the number of leydig cells (P<0.05). Some of the seminiferous tubule lumens of T3 administrated rats had cellular debris. IGF-I was localized in sertoli cells, late spermatids and leydig cells of all groups. IGF-I immunoreactivity in T3 treated rats was higher than in controls in all stages of the cycle of rat seminiferous epithelium, but the staining intensity of leydig cells were similar in both groups. In conclusion, the present results suggest that T3 may modulate the testicular function by affecting IGF-I activity at the gonadal level. 相似文献

Fifty-two healthy Swiss Male Albino rats aged two mo were used in this study. They were divided into four groups: control
(C), diabetic (D), cadmium (Cd), and diabetic+Cd (D+Cd) groups. Diabetic condition was induced in D and D+Cd groups by administration
of alloxane (5 mg/100 g). After this treatment, CD and D+Cd groups were injected with CdCl2 ip (2 mg/kg/wk). At the end of the 2-mo experimental period, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), plasma and
erythrocyte selenium (SE), plasma ceruloplasmin (Cp), and vitamin E (vit E) were determined in four groups of rats.
The erythrocyte Se was lower in the experimental groups than in the controls. Plasma Se was significantly decreased in the
D and D+Cd groups compared with the control group. Plasma Cp was unaltered. Plasma vit E was significantly decreased in Cd
group in comparison with the C, D, and D+Cd groups. 相似文献

Antioxidant defenses within the lung are pivotal in preventing damage from oxidative toxicants. There have also been several reports with conflicting results on the antioxidant system during aging. In this study, we attempted to investigate age-related alterations in both antioxidant enzyme activities and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), a product of lipid peroxidation, in the whole lung of control and sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposed rats of different age groups (3-, 12-, and 24-months-old). Swiss-Albino Male rats were exposed to 10 ppm SO2 1 hr/day, 7 days/week for 6 weeks. The antioxidant enzymes examined include Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). A mixed pattern of age-associated alterations in antioxidant activities was observed. SOD, GSH-Px and GST activities were increased with age, but CAT activity was decreased. Lung SOD, GSH-Px and GST activities were also increased in response to SO2. The level of TBARS was increased with age. SO2 exposure stimulated lipid peroxide formation in the lung as indicated by an increase in the level of TBARS. These findings suggest that both aging and SO2 exposure may impose an oxidative stress to the body. We conclude that the increase in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes of the lung during aging, could be interpreted as a positive feedback mechanism in response to rising lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Ultrastructural changes in the kidneys of rats after acute cadmium exposure and the effects of exogenous metallothionein (MT)
were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Thirty-six adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Cadmium chloride
(CdCl2) (3.5 mg/kg/day) was injected subcutaneously in the first group. In the second group, 30 μmol/kg MT was administered in addition
to CdCl2. Control rats received 0.5 ml subcutaneous saline solution. Four rats from each group were killed on days 1, 3, 5, and 7
after administration of the compounds. Kidney tissues were taken and fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution for electron microscopic
observations. Tissue damage in kidney increased as time passed since the administration of CdCl2 in the first group. Degeneration in the proximal and distal tubules was observed. Increased apoptosis was seen in the proximal
tubules epithelium, especially on day 7. Peritubular capillaries became dilated, there was degeneration of the endothelial
cells, and the amount of intertubular collagen fibers was increased. On day 1, irregular microvilli in the proximal tubules,
deepening of the basal striations, and myelin figures; on day 3, multiple vesicular mitochondria and regions of edema around
tubules; on days 5 and 7, increased apoptotic cell in the proximal tubules and widened rough endoplasmic reticulum of the
endothelial cells of glomerular capillaries were observed. We observed that the structural alterations that increased depending
on the day of Cd administration decreased after exogenous MT administration, the dilation of the peritubular capillaries persisted,
and there were degenerated proximal tubules. It was established that cadmium chloride was toxic for kidney cortex and caused
structural damage. Exogenous MT partly prevents CdCl2-induced damage. 相似文献
