The use of the artificial sweetener aspartame has long been contemplated and studied by researcher around the world regarding their varying negative effects. The present study aims to evaluate the long-term effect of aspartame (75 mg/kg) on liver and brain antioxidant status with histopathological changes in liver and renal cortex in Wistar strain albino rats. Many existing reports, which are available, state that aspartame releases toxic metabolites during metabolism, in which methanol is considered to be one. To mimic the human methanol metabolism, methotrexate (MTX) treated rats were included to study the aspartame effects. There were significant decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR) along with marked increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione-S-transfrease (GST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), protein carbonyl and formate level, indicating changes in the antioxidant status of liver and brain. There were also significant histological changes in the liver and renal cortex. Hence, methanol per se and its metabolites may be responsible for the antioxidant status and histological changes in liver and renal cortex. Hence, it can be concluded that long-term aspartame may be responsible for oxidative stress and the hepato-renal toxicity.

长期以来,世界各地的研究人员一直在考虑和研究人工甜味剂阿斯巴甜的各种负面影响。本研究旨在评价阿斯巴甜(75 mg/kg)对Wistar系白化大鼠肝脏和大脑抗氧化状态的长期影响,并观察其肝脏和肾脏皮质的组织病理学改变。许多现有的报告都指出,阿斯巴甜在新陈代谢过程中会释放出有毒的代谢物,其中甲醇被认为是一种。为了模拟人体甲醇代谢,采用甲氨蝶呤(MTX)处理大鼠来研究阿斯巴甜的作用。还原性谷胱甘肽(GSH)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)显著降低,脂质过氧化(LPO)、谷胱甘肽- s -转肽酶(GST)、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(γ-GT)、蛋白质羰基和甲酸水平显著升高,提示肝脏和大脑抗氧化状态发生变化。肝、肾皮质也有明显的组织学改变。因此,甲醇本身及其代谢物可能与肝脏和肾脏皮层的抗氧化状态和组织学变化有关。因此,长期服用阿斯巴甜可能与氧化应激和肝肾毒性有关。

The aims of this study were to test the effectiveness of copaiba essential oils controlling trypanosomosis and to describe the toxic effect of copaiba essential oil used in treatment of mice infected with Trypanosoma evansi. The experiment was designed, testing the effect of three different oils of copaiba species (Copaifera reticulata, Copaifera paupera and Copaifera duckei) in the mice in dose 1.0 mL kg−1 during 3 days. However, they did not reach the curative efficacy, showing that only C. paupera oil was able to prolong the survival of mice. The three tested oils were toxic at the used doses to the mice due to the verification of increased levels of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lipid peroxidation and observation of histopathological lesions in liver. The curative effect was not observed; being only able to prolong the lifespan of the animals treated with oil of copaiba, as well as the dose of oils was toxic to animals.

Chloroform (CHCl3) is one of the volatile organic compounds detected most frequently in both ground and surface water. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of curcumin (CMN) to attenuate CHCl3 toxicity and cellular dysfunction in cardiac tissue of female albino rats. Fifty rats were divided into 5 groups, 1st group was control; 2nd group rats were intoxicated with 150 mg CHCl3/kg BW; 3rd group rats were treated with 50 mg CMN/kg BW; 4th group rats were treated with 50 mg CMN/kg BW for 30 days then intoxicated with 150 mg CHCl3/kg BW for 60 days and 5th group rats were intoxicated with 150 mg CHCl3/kg BW plus 50 mg CMN/kg BW, respectively. Treatment was continued for 90 days. The levels of lipid peroxidation, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and xanthine oxidase (XO) were increased and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, protein content and endogenous antioxidants were decreased in cardiac tissues in rats treated with CHCl3 in comparison with control group. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C levels were increased while high HDL-C was decreased in rats treated with CHCl3 in comparison with control group. Treatment with CMN helps in improving the adverse effect of CHCl3 toxicity; also our histological results confirm this finding. The present study could be concluded that CMN has protective and ameliorative effects against CHCl3 induced oxidative stress.

氯仿(CHCl3)是地表水和地下水中最常见的挥发性有机化合物之一。本研究旨在探讨姜黄素(curcumin, CMN)对雌性白化大鼠心脏组织CHCl3毒性和细胞功能障碍的影响。50只大鼠分为5组,第一组为对照组;第二组大鼠灌胃150 mg CHCl3/kg BW;第三组大鼠给予50 mg CMN/kg BW;第4组大鼠以50 mg CMN/kg BW灌胃30 d后,再以150 mg CHCl3/kg BW灌胃60 d;第5组大鼠分别以150 mg CHCl3/kg BW + 50 mg CMN/kg BW灌胃。治疗持续90天。与对照组相比,CHCl3处理大鼠心脏组织中脂质过氧化、髓过氧化物酶(MPO)和黄嘌呤氧化酶(XO)水平升高,抗氧化酶活性、蛋白质含量和内源性抗氧化剂含量降低。与对照组相比,CHCl3处理大鼠血清胆固醇、甘油三酯和LDL-C水平升高,高HDL-C水平降低。CMN治疗有助于改善CHCl3毒性的不良反应;我们的组织学结果也证实了这一发现。综上所述,CMN对CHCl3诱导的氧化应激具有保护和改善作用。

Lung cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide both in men and women accounting for 29% of all other cancers. The constituents of smoke consist of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo(a)pyrene which play a major role in lung carcinogenesis. B(a)P increases oncogenic stimulation by enhancing intrinsic ROS stress and metabolic activity. Recent focus of cancer chemoprevention is on the supplementation of natural anti-oxidants which are capable of ameliorating biochemical and molecular changes that occur during carcinogenesis. Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), a sulfur-containing β-amino acid abundant in sea foods has potent antioxidant property. The present study was framed to investigate the potency of taurine on boosting the antioxidant status and chemopreventive effect against benzo(a)pyrene induced lung carcinogenesis in Swiss albino mice. Administration of B(a)P (50 mg/kg body weight) to mice resulted in decrease in the activities of enzymic and non-enzymic anti-oxidants with concomitant increase in lipid peroxides (LPO), protein carbonyls and lung specific tumor markers. Taurine supplementation (100 mg/kg body weight) significantly attenuated these alterations. From these results, we suggest that administration of B(a)P induces ROS production and diminishes antioxidant levels. Conversely, taurine affords protection from ROS induced lung damage by augmenting the function of anti-oxidants.

肺癌是全世界男性和女性发病和死亡的主要原因,占所有其他癌症的29%。烟雾的成分包括多环芳烃(PAHs),如苯并(a)芘,它在肺癌发生中起主要作用。B(a)P通过增强内在ROS应激和代谢活性增加致癌刺激。最近癌症化学预防的重点是补充天然抗氧化剂,这些抗氧化剂能够改善致癌过程中发生的生化和分子变化。牛磺酸(2-氨基乙磺酸)是海产品中富含的一种含硫β-氨基酸,具有很强的抗氧化性能。本研究旨在探讨牛磺酸在提高瑞士白化小鼠抗氧化能力和抗苯并(a)芘诱发肺癌的化学预防作用。给小鼠B(a)P (50 mg/kg体重)导致酶和非酶抗氧化剂活性降低,同时脂质过氧化物(LPO)、蛋白质羰基和肺特异性肿瘤标志物升高。补充牛磺酸(100 mg/kg体重)可显著减弱这些变化。从这些结果来看,我们认为B(a)P可以诱导ROS的产生并降低抗氧化水平。相反,牛磺酸通过增强抗氧化剂的功能,对ROS诱导的肺损伤提供保护。

Aspartame is rapidly and completely metabolized in humans and experimental animals to aspartic acid (40%), phenylalanine (50%) and methanol (10%). Methanol, a toxic metabolite is primarily metabolized by oxidation to formaldehyde and then to formate. These processes are accompanied by the formation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. This study is focused to understand whether the oral administration of Aspartame (40 mg/kg bw) for 15 days, 30 days, and 90 days have any effect on immune organs. Damage to plasma membrane was assessed by levels of membrane-bound ATPases. Oxidative stress status was assessed by alterations in level of lipid peroxides, protein carbonyls, protein thiol and lipid-soluble antioxidant vitamin E. To mimic human methanol metabolism, folate-deficient animals were used. There was decrease in all membrane-bound ATPases activities in immune organs. Aspartame administration to rats inducing excess free radical generation is confirmed by increase in lipid peroxidation, obvious which is also again substantiated by the elevated protein carbonyl and decrease in protein thiol in this study. These excess free radical generations also decrease the cellularity (reduction in organ weight and cell count) of immune organs.

阿斯巴甜在人类和实验动物体内被迅速和完全代谢为天冬氨酸(40%)、苯丙氨酸(50%)和甲醇(10%)。甲醇是一种有毒的代谢物,主要通过氧化代谢为甲醛,然后生成甲酸盐。这些过程伴随着超氧阴离子和过氧化氢的形成。本研究旨在了解口服阿斯巴甜(40 mg/kg bw) 15天、30天和90天对免疫器官是否有任何影响。通过膜结合atp酶的水平来评估对质膜的损伤。通过脂质过氧化物、蛋白质羰基、蛋白质硫醇和脂溶性抗氧化剂维生素e水平的变化来评估氧化应激状态。为了模拟人类甲醇代谢,研究人员使用叶酸缺乏的动物。免疫器官各膜结合atp酶活性均降低。大鼠给药阿斯巴甜诱导过量自由基生成,证实了脂质过氧化增加,这一明显现象在本研究中也再次得到了蛋白羰基升高和蛋白硫醇降低的证实。这些过量的自由基也会降低免疫器官的细胞数量(器官重量和细胞数量的减少)。

The health effects of mercury are highly dependent on the different chemical forms of mercury. Inorganic mercury has a non-uniform distribution after absorption being accumulated mainly in kidney tissue causing acute renal failure. The purpose of this work was to study the influence of hesperidin and ellagic acid followed by mercuric chloride induced kidney damage. At sub-lethal dose of mercuric chloride (1.23 mg/kg B.W) was administrated in rats for 7 days. The results revealed that treatment of mercuric chloride caused marked enhanced level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) content and significantly decreased in the level of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in the kidney tissue. Hesperidin is a natural flavonoid and a strong antioxidant helps to prevent oxidative damage. Ellagic acid has a chemo protective effect in cellular models by reducing oxidative stress. The treatment of hesperidin and ellagic acid (5 mg/kg B. W) in the kidney tissue shows a significantly decreasing in the level of oxidant content and simultaneously an enhanced level of antioxidant properties by the way of recovery in kidney tissues. Antioxidant and non-antioxidant enzymes (LPO, GSH, GPx, SOD, CAT) activities were also an enhanced to near normal level when compared to mercury treated group. These observations of the present experimental study demonstrated a preliminary protective effect of hesperidin and ellagic acid against mercuric chloride intoxicated rat kidney tissue.

汞对健康的影响高度依赖于汞的不同化学形式。无机汞吸收后分布不均匀,主要积聚在肾组织内,引起急性肾功能衰竭。本研究旨在探讨橙皮苷和鞣花酸对氯化汞致大鼠肾损害的影响。大鼠按亚致死剂量(1.23 mg/kg B.W)给药7天。结果表明,氯化汞处理使大鼠肾组织脂质过氧化(LPO)含量显著升高,还原性谷胱甘肽(GSH)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著降低。橙皮苷是一种天然类黄酮,是一种强抗氧化剂,有助于防止氧化损伤。鞣花酸通过减少氧化应激在细胞模型中具有化学保护作用。肾组织中橙皮苷和鞣花酸(5 mg/kg B. W)处理显著降低了肾组织中的氧化剂含量,同时通过恢复的方式提高了肾组织中的抗氧化性能。与汞处理组相比,抗氧化酶和非抗氧化酶(LPO、GSH、GPx、SOD、CAT)活性也提高到接近正常水平。本实验结果表明橙皮苷和鞣花酸对氯化汞中毒大鼠肾组织具有初步的保护作用。

Cladodes and fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of abscess and skin inflammation. It was therefore interesting to assess whether an antileishmanial activity could be associated to skin healing. This study reports on the antileishmanial activity of Opuntia ficus-indica extracts from cladodes and fruits. Ethyl acetate extract from cladodes only exhibited an activity against Leishmania major with an IC50 value of 53.9 μg/mL, but ethyl acetate fruit extract, ethyl acetate cladode extract and methanol cladode extract were active also against Leishmania donovani with IC50 values at 70.3, 70.5 and 45.2 μg/mL, respectively. A poor activity of the fractions was monitored against Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Finally, a bioguided fractionation of fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica led to a pre-purified fraction that exhibited an IC50 of 9.3 μg/mL against Leishmania donovani intramacrophage amastigotes. The selectivity index defined as CC50/IC50 was higher than 10. In conclusion, the bioguided fractionation allowed to enhance the antileishmanial activity about ten-fold comparatively to those of the ethyl acetate fruit extract. Such an activity is worth of further investigations to identify the compounds responsible for the antileishmanial effect.

无花果树的枝和果实在传统医学中用于治疗脓肿和皮肤炎症。因此,评估抗利什曼原虫活性是否与皮肤愈合有关是很有趣的。本文报道了榕树枝和果实提取物的抗利什曼原虫活性。枝蔓果乙酸乙酯提取物对大利什曼原虫的IC50值为53.9 μg/mL,而乙酸乙酯果提取物、枝蔓果乙酸乙酯提取物和枝蔓甲醇提取物对多诺瓦利什曼原虫的IC50值分别为70.3、70.5和45.2 μg/mL。该组分对布氏锥虫的活性较差。最后,对无花果果实进行生物引导分离得到的预纯化组分对巨噬细胞内多诺瓦利什曼原虫的IC50为9.3 μg/mL。选择性指数定义为CC50/IC50大于10。综上所述,与乙酸乙酯果实提取物相比,生物引导分离可使其抗利什曼原虫活性提高约10倍。这种活性值得进一步研究,以确定产生抗利什曼病作用的化合物。

The present study was considered to assess the antihypertensive and antioxidant effect of valproic acid, against Nω- nitro-L arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME) induced hypertension in male Wistar rats. Hypertension was prompted in adult male albino rats of the Wistar strain, weighing 180–220 g, by oral administration of the L-NAME (40 mg/kg body weight/day) in drinking water for 4 weeks. The L- NAME hypertensive rats revealed significant (P < 0.05) rise in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, water intake and heart weight L-NAME hypertensive rats also revealed significant (P < 0.05) increase in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid hydroperoxides in plasma and tissues (heart and aorta), and significant (P < 0.05) drop in the body weight, nitrite and nitrate levels in plasma and aorta. Activities of enzymic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in erythrocyte and tissues and the levels of non-enzymic antioxidant such as reduced glutathione in plasma and tissues, ET-1 mRNA expression in aorta was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in L-NAME rats. Valproic acid (VPA) supplementation (100 mg/kg) daily for four weeks brought back all the above parameters to near normal level. The above outcomes were confirmed by the histopathological examination. No significant (P < 0.05) effect was observed in control rats treated with valproic acid (100 mg/kg). These results suggest that valproic acid performed as an antihypertensive and antioxidant agent against L-NAME induced hypertension.

本研究旨在探讨丙戊酸对Nω-硝基- l精氨酸甲酯盐酸盐(L-NAME)致雄性Wistar大鼠高血压的降压和抗氧化作用。体重180 ~ 220 g的Wistar雄性成年白化大鼠,在饮水中口服L-NAME (40 mg/kg体重/天)4周,可引起高血压。L- NAME高血压大鼠P <L-NAME高血压大鼠的收缩压和舒张压、心率、摄水量和心重的升高也显示了显著的(P <0.05)血浆和组织(心脏和主动脉)中硫代巴比妥酸活性物质、脂质氢过氧化物水平升高,且显著(P <0.05)体重下降,血浆和主动脉亚硝酸盐和硝酸盐水平下降。红细胞和组织中超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶等酶促抗氧化剂活性以及血浆和组织中还原性谷胱甘肽等非酶促抗氧化剂水平和主动脉中ET-1 mRNA表达均显著升高(P <0.05)升高。每天补充丙戊酸(VPA) 100 mg/kg,连续4周使上述各项指标恢复到接近正常水平。组织病理学检查证实了上述结果。无显著差异(P <丙戊酸(100 mg/kg)对对照大鼠的影响为0.05)。上述结果提示丙戊酸对L-NAME诱导的高血压具有抗高血压和抗氧化作用。

NLRP3 inflammasome, a multi-protein complex containing ASC as a linker protein influences the process of inflammation and tissue injury in pancreas. In this study, the effect of methanolic seed extract of Nigella sativa (MENS) on the expression of ASC protein of NLRP3 inflammasome was investigated in rats subjected to experimental pancreatitis. Male albino Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 and 2 rats were fed with normal diet; group 3 and 4 rats were administered with ethanol (EtOH) and fed high fat diet (HFD) for 90 days. In addition, group 2 and 4 rats were administered orally with 200 mg/kg body weight of MENS for the last 60 days. We measured serum lipase and amylase activities, oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers. The mRNA expression of caspase-1, ASC, pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-18, TNF-α and protein expression of caspase-1 and ASC were determined in pancreas. Our study indicated that MENS co-administration significantly decreased the level of serum lipase and amylase activities, oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers in EtOH and HFD fed rats. mRNA and protein level expression of caspase-1 and ASC were found to be downregulated in MENS co-administered rats. Spearman's rank correlation test showed that ASC mRNA expression has significant positive correlation with the serum levels of caspase-1 (rs = 0.885, P < 0.01), IL-1β (rs = 0.828, P < 0.05) and IL-18 (rs = 0.943, P = 0.01) in MENS co-administered rats. The present study showed that MENS exhibits anti-inflammatory activity probably by downregulating the expression of ASC protein of NLRP3 inflammasome in pancreas to minimize the activation of caspase-1.

NLRP3炎性小体是一种以ASC为连接蛋白的多蛋白复合物,影响胰腺炎症和组织损伤的过程。本研究研究了黑Nigella sativa (MENS)甲醇籽提取物对实验性胰腺炎大鼠NLRP3炎性小体ASC蛋白表达的影响。雄性白化Wistar大鼠分为4组。1、2组大鼠饲喂正常日粮;第3、4组大鼠灌胃乙醇(EtOH)并饲喂高脂饲料(HFD) 90 d。最后60 d,第2组和第4组大鼠分别口服MENS 200 mg/kg体重。测定血清脂肪酶和淀粉酶活性、氧化应激标志物和炎症标志物。检测胰腺组织caspase-1、ASC mRNA表达、促炎因子、IL-1β、IL-18、TNF-α表达及caspase-1、ASC蛋白表达。我们的研究表明,MENS联合给药显著降低了EtOH和HFD喂养大鼠的血清脂肪酶和淀粉酶活性、氧化应激标志物和炎症标志物水平。MENS共给药大鼠caspase-1和ASC mRNA和蛋白水平表达下调。Spearman秩相关检验显示,ASC mRNA表达量与血清caspase-1水平呈显著正相关(rs = 0.885, P <0.01), IL-1β (rs = 0.828, P <0.05)和IL-18 (rs = 0.943, P = 0.01)。本研究表明,MENS可能通过下调胰腺NLRP3炎性小体ASC蛋白的表达来减少caspase-1的激活,从而具有抗炎活性。

Selenium is an essential trace element and integral part of many antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and selenoprotein P in humans and animals. Deficiency of selenium leads to various clinical consequences including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and lung disorders. This review gives a brief outline of the current information on selenium in the environment, its natural sources, dietary requirement, various selenoproteins, the role of selenium as an antioxidant in defense systems, as well as its antimicrobial and radioprotective abilities. The relationship between selenium deficiency and various health outcomes, in particularly cardiovascular disease, nervous and gastrointestinal abnormalities dysfunction of the thyroid and immune systems type 2 diabetes and fertility, are also reviewed. The exact chemical form and dose, which results in the normal functioning of numerous body systems or risk of disease are intricate but need to be elucidated through good clinical practice for efficient public health strategies.

硒是人体和动物体内许多抗氧化酶如谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和硒蛋白P必不可少的微量元素。缺硒会导致各种临床后果,包括癌症、心血管疾病、2型糖尿病和肺部疾病。本文综述了环境硒、硒的天然来源、硒的膳食需求、各种硒蛋白、硒在防御系统中的抗氧化剂作用以及硒的抗菌和辐射防护能力的最新研究进展。硒缺乏与各种健康结果,特别是心血管疾病、神经和胃肠道异常、甲状腺和免疫系统功能障碍、2型糖尿病和生育能力之间的关系也进行了综述。导致许多身体系统正常运作或疾病风险的确切化学形式和剂量是复杂的,但需要通过良好的临床实践来阐明,以实现有效的公共卫生战略。
