AbstractThe antioxidant effects of ellagic acid (EA) and hesperidin (HES) against skeletal muscle ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) were performed. Hindlimb ischemia has been induced by tourniquet occlusion for 2?h on left hindlimb. At the end of ischemia, the tourniquate has been removed and initiated reperfusion for 2?h. EA (100?mg/kg) has been applied orally before ischemia/reperfusion in the EA?+?I/R group. HES (100?mg/kg) has been given orally in the HES?+?I/R group. The left gastrocnemius muscle has been harvested and stored immediately at??80?°C until assessed for the levels of MDA and antioxidant enzymes activities. MDA level has statistically increased in I/R group (p?<?0.05) compared to other groups. The muscle tissue antioxidant enzymes activities were lower than the other groups in the I/R group (p?<?0.05). EA and HES treatments significantly reversed the damage level in I/R, also activity of tissue SOD increased in the EA?+?I/R and HES?+?I/R groups. 相似文献

The α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the extremophilic bacterium Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense (SazCA) was recently shown to be the fastest CA known. Here we investigated this enzyme for its activation with a series of amino acids and amines. The best SazCA activators were d-Phe, l-DOPA, l- and d-Trp, dopamine and serotonin, which showed activation constants in the range of 3–23 nM. l- and d-His, l-Phe, l-Tyr, 2-pyridyl-methylamine and L-adrenaline were also effective activators (KAs in the range of 62–90 nM), whereas d-Dopa, d-Tyr and several heterocyclic amines showed activity in the micromolar range. The good thermal stability, robustness, very high catalytic activity and propensity to be activated by simple amino acids and amines, make SazCA a very interesting candidate for biomimetic CO2 capture processes. 相似文献

Two new polyphenolic compounds, myricetin 3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside and (-)-6-chloroepicatechin, were isolated from the aerial parts of Geranium pratense subsp. finitimum (Woronow) Knuth, along with three known polyphenolic compounds [quercetin 3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-beta-D-galactopyranoside, methyl gallate] and tryptophan. Quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside and quercetin 3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-beta-D-galactopyranoside were found to be effective against free radical induced impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation in isolated rat aorta. 相似文献

The Ca(2+)-independent transient outward K(+) current (I(to)) plays an important electrophysiological role in normal and diseased hearts. However, its contribution to ventricular repolarization remains controversial because of differences in its phenotypic expression and function across species. The dog, a frequently used model of human cardiac disease, exhibits altered functional expression of I(to). To better understand the relevance of electrical remodeling in dogs to humans, we studied the phenotypic differences in ventricular I(to) of both species with electrophysiological, pharmacological, and protein-chemical techniques. Several notable distinctions were elucidated, including slower current decay, more rapid recovery from inactivation, and a depolarizing shift of steady-state inactivation in human vs. canine I(to). Whereas recovery from inactivation of human I(to) followed a monoexponential time course, canine I(to) recovered with biexponential kinetics. Pharmacological sensitivity to flecainide was markedly greater in human than canine I(to), and exposure to oxidative stress did not alter the inactivation kinetics of I(to) in either species. Western blot analysis revealed immunoreactive bands specific for Kv4.3, Kv1.4, and Kv channel-interacting protein (KChIP)2 in dog and human, but with notable differences in band sizes across species. We report for the first time major variations in phenotypic properties of human and canine ventricular I(to) despite the presence of the same subunit proteins in both species. These data suggest that differences in electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of I(to) between humans and dogs are not caused by differential expression of the K channel subunit genes thought to encode I(to), but rather may arise from differences in molecular structure and/or posttranslational modification of these subunits. 相似文献

Recently we found that electrophysiological (EP) heterogeneities between subepicardial and midmyocardial cells can form a substrate for reentrant ventricular arrhythmias. However, cell-to-cell coupling through gap junctions is expected to attenuate transmural heterogeneities between cell types spanning the ventricular wall. Because connexin43 (Cx43) is the principal ventricular gap junction protein, we hypothesized that transmural EP heterogeneities are in part produced by heterogeneous Cx43 expression across the ventricular wall. The left ventricles of eight dogs were sectioned to expose the transmural surface. To determine whether heterogeneous Cx43 expression influenced EP function, high-resolution transmural optical mapping of the arterially perfused canine wedge preparation was used to measure transmural conduction velocity (thetaTM), dV/dt(max), transmural space constant (lambdaTM), and transmural gradients of action potential duration (APD). Relative Cx43 expression, quantified by confocal immunofluorescence, was significantly lower (by 24 +/- 17%; P < 0.05) in subepicardial compared with deeper layers. Importantly, reduced subepicardial Cx43 was associated with transmural heterogeneities of EP function evidenced by selectively reduced subepicardial thetaTM (by 18 +/- 9%; P < 0.05) compared with deeper layers. In subepicardial regions, dV/dt(max) was fastest (by 19 +/- 15%) and lambdaTM was smallest (by 18.1 +/- 2%), which suggests that conduction slowing was attributable to localized uncoupling rather than reduced excitability. The maximum transmural APD gradients occurred in the same regions where Cx43 expression was lowest; this suggests that Cx43 expression patterns served to maintain APD gradients across the transmural wall. These data demonstrate that heterogeneous Cx43 expression is closely associated with functionally significant EP heterogeneities across the transmural wall. Therefore, Cx43 expression patterns can potentially contribute to arrhythmic substrates that are dependent on transmural electrophysiological heterogeneities. 相似文献

The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC1) is one of several transporters that have been linked to hypertension, and its inhibition reduces vascular smooth muscle tone and blood pressure. NKCC1 in the rat aorta is stimulated by vasoconstrictors and inhibited by nitrovasodilators, and this is linked to the contractile state of the smooth muscle. To determine whether blood pressure also regulates NKCC1, we examined the acute effect of hypertension on NKCC1 in rats after aortic coarctation. In the hypertensive aorta (28-mmHg rise in mean blood pressure), an increase in NKCC1 activity (measured as bumetanide-sensitive (86)Rb efflux) was apparent by 16 h and reached a plateau of 62% greater than control at 48 h. In contrast, there was a slight decrease in NKCC1 activity in the hypotensive aorta (21% decrease in mean blood pressure). Measurement of NKCC1 mRNA by real-time PCR revealed a fivefold increase in the hypertensive aorta compared with the hypotensive aorta or sham aorta. The inhibition by bumetanide of isometric force response to phenylephrine was significantly greater in the hypertensive aorta than in the control aorta or hypotensive aorta. We conclude that NKCC1 in rat aortic smooth muscle is regulated by blood pressure, most likely through changes in transporter abundance. This upregulation of NKCC1 is associated with a greater contribution to force generation in the hypertensive aorta. This is the first demonstration that NKCC1 in vascular smooth muscle is regulated by blood pressure and indicates that this transporter is important in the acute response of vascular smooth muscle to hypertension. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia plays a critical role in the development and progression of diabetic neuropathy. One of the mechanisms by which hyperglycemia causes neural degeneration is via the increased oxidative stress that accompanies diabetes. Metabolic and oxidative insults often cause rapid changes in glial cells. Key indicators of this response are increased synthesis of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100B, both astrocytic markers. In the present study, we examined glial reactivity in hippocampus, cortex, and cerebellum of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats by determining the expression of GFAP and S-100B and we evaluated the effect of melatonin on the glial response. Western blot measurement of contents in brain regions after 6 weeks of STZ-induced diabetes indicated significant increases in these constituents compared with those in nondiabetic controls. Administration of melatonin prevented the upregulation of GFAP in all brain regions of diabetic rats. Using GFAP immunohistochemistry, we observed an increase in GFAP immunostaining in the hippocampus of STZ-diabetic rats relative to levels in the control brains. Treatment with melatonin resulted in an obvious reduction of GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes in hippocampus. Like GFAP, S100B levels also were increased in all three brain areas of diabetic rats, an effect also reduced by melatonin treatment. Finally, the levels of lipid peroxidation products were elevated as a consequence of diabetes, with this change also being prevented by melatonin. These results suggest that diabetes causes increased glial reactivity possibly due to elevated oxidative stress, and administration of melatonin represents an achievable adjunct therapy for preventing gliosis. 相似文献
