Alcohol consumption and health outcomes are complex and multidimensional. Ethanol (1.6g / kg body weight/ day) exposure initially
affects liver function followed by renal function of 16–18 week-old male albino rats of Wistar strain weighing 200–220 g.
Chronic ethanol ingestion increased in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level and glutathione s-transferase activity;
while decreased reduced gluatathione content and activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase
in a time dependent manner in the hemolysate. Though superoxide dismutase activity increased initially might be due to adaptive
response, but decreased later. Elevation of serum nitrite level and transforming growth factor-b1 activity indicated that long-term ethanol consumption may cause hepatic fibrosis and can elicit pro-angiogenic factors. However,
no alteration in vascular endothelial growth factor-C activity indicated that ethanol consumption is not associated with lymphangiogenesis.
Therefore, we conclude that long-term ethanol-induced toxicity is linked to an oxidative stress, which may aggravate to fibrosis
and elevate pro-angiogenic factors, but not associated with lymphangiogenesis. 相似文献

The study was undertaken to evaluate the possible involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of ethanol induced testicular
atrophy in rats. Adult male rats were orally administered ethanol at a dose of 1.6 g/kg body weight/day for four weeks. Twenty-four
hours after the last treatment the rats were sacrificed using anesthetic ether. Testes were removed and weighed. Apoptosis
was studied by using the Feulgen reaction on 5 μ thin paraffin sections of testis. Testicular homogenate was prepared and
centrifuged. The supernatant was used for the estimation of extent of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense status. There
was significant reduction in body weight: and in testicular weight and diameter in ethanol treated rats. Extent of germ cell
apoptosis was significantly high in ethanol treated rats. Ethanol treated rats showed significantly high tissue TBARS level
and glutathione S-transferase activity; and low tissue ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase,
glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities. Chronic ethanol administration resulted in high oxidative stress
in the testes either due to increased extent of lipid peroxidation or due to decreased antioxidant defenses, and thereby induces
germ cell apoptosis leading to testicular atrophy. 相似文献

Alcohol induced oxidative stress is linked to the metabolism of ethanol. In this study it has been observed that administration
of ethanol in lower concentration caused gain in body and liver weight. while higher concentration of ethanol caused lesser
gain in body and liver weight. Ethanol treatment enhanced lipid peroxidation significantly, depletion in levels of hepatic
glutathione and ascorbate, accompanied by a decline in the activities of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase,
and increased in hepatic glutathione s-transferase activity. Interestingly catalase activity increases in lower concentration
of ethanol exposure, and decreased in higher concentration. Superoxide dismutase activity was also increased on ethanol exposure.
But, ethanol feeding did not show any effect on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Ethanol ingestion perturbs the
antioxidant system in a dose and time dependent manner. 相似文献

Growth retardation is one of the significant changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Disturbances in growth hormone (GH) are held responsible for several complications in CKD. GH is a protein based peptide hormone which directly or indirectly regulates renal functions to ensure homeostasis. We investigated the effects of growth hormone on plasminogen activators (PA) in rat kidney, PA and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), glucose and fibrinogen in plasma and serum lipid profile. Rats were injected daily with 250 mU GH kg-1 body weight subcutaneously for one week. Growth hormone treatment increased PA activity significantly in rat kidneys as compared to controls. No changes were seen in PA, PAI and fibrinogen levels in the plasma of two groups of rats. There was significant decrease in plasma glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in serum of treated group resulting in the decrease of HDL/LDL and total cholesterol/cholesterol ratios. However, triglycerides and VLDL showed significant higher activity in the serum of treated group as compared to controls. Our data suggests that GH administration might improve renal function by increasing PA activity in kidney as well as by reducing the cholesterol content in blood. GH may be effective in improving growth failure as it helps to maintain the normal homeostatic balance. 相似文献

Infertility is well-established harmful effect in chronic alcoholism and so far, there is no effective treatment for this
condition. The study was conducted to determine the effects of alpha tocopherol on ethanol induced testicular injuries in
male albino rats of Wistar strain. Five groups (n=6) of animals were used. Group I served as control. Group II received daily
1.6g ethanol/kg body weight/day for 4 weeks orally. Group III received 1.6g ethanol+80mg alpha tocopherol/kg body weight/day
for four weeks orally. Group IV received 1.6g ethanol/kg body weight for/day 4 weeks and followed by 80mg alpha tocopherol/kg
body weight/day for four weeks orally. Group V received 1.6g ethanol/kg body weight/day orally for 4 weeks, followed by 4
weeks abstinence. Twently-four hours after the last treatment the rats were sacrificed using anesthetic ether. Testes were
removed and used for the estimation of extent of lipid peroxidation and tissue levels of antioxidants and steroidogenic enzymes.
Alpha tocopherol treatment increased the activities of testicularΔ
5, 3β-HSD. Moreover, the treatment was also associated with significant decrease in testicular oxidative stress. Ethanol-induced
oxidative stress and decreased steroidogenesis can be reversed by treatment with alpha tocopherol. 相似文献

Damaging effects of reactive oxygen species on living systems are well documented. They include oxidative attack on vital
cell constituents. Chronic ethanol administration is able to induce an oxidative stress in the central nervous system. In
the present study, 16–18 week-old male albino rats of Wistar strain were exposed to different concentration of ethanol for
4 weeks. This exposure showed profound effect on body weight. Ascorbic acid level; and activities of alkaline phosphatase
and aspartate transaminase in the brain are dependent on the concentration of ethanol exposure. Chronic ethanol ingestion
elicits statistically significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level and decrease in gluatathione level
in the brain. It reduces superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities in a
dose dependent manner. However, histological examination could not reveal any pathophysiological changes. Therefore, we conclude
that biochemical alterations and oxidative stress related parameters respond early in alcoholism than the histopathological
changes in brain. 相似文献

Alcohol induced effects on kidney 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
After administration ethanol and its metabolites go through kidneys and are excreted into urine, and its content in the urine
is higher than that of the blood and the liver. Chronic ethanol administration decreases the renal tubular reabsorption and
reduces renal function. Multiple functional abnormalities of renal tubules may be associated with ethanol-induced changes
in membrane composition and lipid peroxidation. The vulnerability of the kidney to oxidative damage has been partly attributed
to its high content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Renal ultra structural abnormalities due to ethanol exposure
may be important in the genesis of functional disturbances. Increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction with their
complex interrelationships are relevant aspects of atherogenesis in chronic renal failure. Antioxidants, particularly polyphenols
are expected to decrease the vulnerability of the kidney to oxidative challenges. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of turmeric extract (40 mg/kg body weight) and vitamin E
(α- tocopherol acetate, 400 IU/kg body weight) supplementation on lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione and antioxidant
defense enzymes in various organs like liver, kidney and salivary glands at 24 h in adult Swiss mice. 131Iodine exposure significantly increased lipid peroxidation in kidney and salivary glands in comparison to control animals.
Pre supplementation with turmeric extract for 15 days showed significant lowering of lipid peroxidation in kidney. On the
other hand vitamin E pre supplementation showed marked reduction in lipid peroxidation in salivary glands. Reduced glutathione
levels decreased significantly in liver after radiation exposure. However, pre supplementation with turmeric extract and vitamin
E did not improve glutathione levels in liver. In conclusion, we have observed differential radioprotective effect of turmeric
extract and vitamin E in kidney and salivary glands. However, Vitamin E seems to offer better radioprotection for salivary
glands which is known to be the major site of cellular destruction after radioiodine therapy in patients. 相似文献

A 24 week follow-up study on lipid change following maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) in 25 chronic renal failure (CRF) patients
revealed significantly raised serum Triacylglycerol (TAG) levels in these cases (P<0.001), while cholesterol and HDL-Cholesterol
did not show any significant change, the extent of increase was 10.5±3.6% after 12 weeks and 23.0±5.8% after 24 weeks. Corresponding
increase in CRF patients treated conservatively, without haemodialysis, were 3.1±1.2% and 7.2±2.7% at these intervals. Subsequent
oral administration of L-Carnitine (5mg/kg body weight twice a day) for three weeks brought about a significant reversal of
elevated serum TAG level in MDH group as well as in the conservatively treated group (P≤0.05).
It is concluded that the haemodialysis induced Hyper-Triacylglycerolemia of CRF patients is revertible by Carnitine replenishment.
Even the concomitant increase in conservatively treated group is revertible by carnitine administration. 相似文献

Exposure to various organic compounds including drugs and environmental toxins causes cellular damage through generation of free radicals. Carnosine a dipeptide was used in this study to evaluate its effect against CCl4-induced nephrotoxicity. Sixty male albino rats were involved in this study and were equally divided into four groups. CCl4 (3 ml/kg body weight; biweekly for 4 weeks) was given to group II and III. Carnosine (10 mg/kg body weight; once daily for 4 weeks) was given to group III and VI. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) level by immunoassay and Smad3 mRNA level by real-time PCR were estimated in addition to cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) activity, renal functions, redox status assessment and histopathological examination of the kidney. Carnosine significantly improved kidney function, renal redox status, decreased renal CYP2E1 activity, TGF-β1 level and Smad3 gene expression when compared to CCL4-intoxicated group. The protective effect of carnosine was confirmed by histopathological study. In conclusion: carnosine has the ability to protect against CCl4-induced nephrotoxicity possibly by alleviating oxidative stress, normalizing kidney histopathological architecture in addition to the disruption of the inflammatory and fibrotic response induced by CCl4. 相似文献

Arsenic a metalloid and environmental contaminated has been found to be associated with public health problems in the affected areas. It is naturally occurred in groundwater and its accumulation in plant and animals leads to toxicity in several tissues most notably hepatic organ. Arsenic exposures (3 mg/kg body weight/day for 30 days) in mice exhibited increased arsenic and Zn levels in hepatocytes associated with enhanced oxidative stress in hepatocytes while there were no significantly changes were observed in Cu level. An increase in the lipid peroxidation and decrease in the levels of reduced glutathione and activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were observed in arsenic treated mice as compared to controls. Arsenic exposure in mice also caused a significant change in serum biomarkers in the SGOT, SGPT and creatinine as compared to the controls. There were no significant changes in the serum levels of total protein in these mice. Co-administration of arsenic and fruit extract of amla (500 mg/kg body weight/day for 30 days) caused a significant reduction of arsenic transference associated with significantly decreases hepatic arsenic levels and balanced the antioxidant enzyme and levels of serum hepatic enzymes like SGOT and SGPT. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate the antioxidant property of amla that could be responsible for its protective efficacy in arsenic induced hepatic toxicity. 相似文献

Rats were fasted for 8 hours and then fed 3 ml of 25% (v/v) ethanol per 100g body weight and subsequently sacrificed 18 hours
later. The levels of triacylglycerols and total cholesterol were significantly raised in serum and liver of alcohol fed rats.
However, when rats were fed on aqucous extract of onions (300 mg per 100g body weight) with 25% ethanol, no rise in serum
and liver lipids was observed. Alcohol fed to the fats with or without onion extract had no effect on serum, AST, ALT and
alkaline phosphatase levels. The increase in serum urea in ethanol-fed rats was not altered in rats fed a mixture of alcohol
and onion extracts. Values of liver MDA was lower in rats fed ethanol with or without onion extract compared to controls.
Onion extract seemed to show a hypolipidemic effect in alcohol fed rats. 相似文献

Apoptosis plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. In this study we have investigated whether apoptosis is a contributory
factor to alcohol induced liver damage. Long term ethanol (1.6 g/kg body weight/day) exposure augmented liver apoptosis as
reflected by high frequency of positive TUNEL staining nuclei and by an increased activity of caspase-3 and -8. Our study
provides evidence that long-term ethanol consumption triggers apoptotic process in the liver. 相似文献

Effect of oral administration of 200 mg/Kg body weight of the aqueous extract ofOcimum sanctum (Tulsi) mixed with diet for eight weeks to diabetic (streptozotocin induced) rats was studied. There was significant reduction
in fasting blood glucose, serum lipid profile, lipid peroxidation products, (LPO) and improvement in glucose tolerance. The
aqueous extract also decreased LPO formation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances TBARS) and increased antioxidant enzymes
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione transferase (GT) and one antioxidant
reduced glutathione (GSH) in plasma and rat liver, lung, kidney and brain. The decrease in TBARS and increase in GSH, SOD,
CAT, GPX, and GT clearly shows the antioxidant property ofOcimum sanctum. 相似文献

A number of newly developed antiepileptic drugs are currently in use, among them Lamotrigine (LTG) is more common. Despite
the extensive use of this drug, it has not been possible to predict the side effects especially the hepatotoxic reactions
after long-term treatment. The present study was designed to find out alterations in the activities of liver enzymes after
chronic exposure of rats to different dose of LTG. Adults male (Wistar) rats were treated orally with LTG [5 mg/kg body weight
or 25 mg/kg body wt.] for 60 days. After the experimental period, auto analyzer carried out liver function tests. The liver
histopathology was obtained after scarifying the rats. There was a significant increase in the level of ALP, AST, ALT and
bilirubin at therapeutic dose of LTG. The increase level of these enzymes and bilirubin at toxic dose were much higher and
significant. However, the total protein and albumin significantly decreased at toxic dose of LTG. Elevation of liver enzymes
and bilirubin after chronic exposure of rats to high dose of LTG reflects hepatocellular damage that may lead to hepatitis.
It is concluded that regular liver function and drug monitoring should follow the treatment with LTG. 相似文献

To investigate reversibility of ethanol induced testicular injuries on treatment with L-ornithine-L-aspartate, male Wistar
rats were treated with ethanol (1.6g/kg b.wt/day) and L-ornithine- L-aspartate (200mg/kg b.wt/ day) for 4 weeks. L-ornithine-L-aspartate
effectively prevented the ethanol induced body and testes weight reduction; changes in testicular weight well correlated with
body weight. Drug exhibited an ability to counteract ethanol induced oxidative challenge as it effectively reduced testicular
TBARS and increased tissue ascorbic acid, GSH and activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, GSH-Red and Se-GSH-Px. However
the drug didn’t show promising effect on inhibitory effect of ethanol on testicular D5, 3-beta and 17-beta HSD (hydroxy steroid
dehydrogenase). 相似文献

The effect of Emblica officinalis fruit extract (EFE) against alcohol-induced hepatic damage in rats was investigated in the present study. In vitro studies showed that EFE possesses antioxidant as well nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity. In vivo administration of alcohol (5 g/kg b.wt/day) for 60 days resulted increased liver lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls, nitrite plus nitrate levels. Alcohol administration also significantly lowers the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase and reduced glutathione as compared with control rats. Administration of EFE (250 mg/kg body weight) to alcoholic rats significantly brought the plasma enzymes towards near normal level and also significantly reduced the levels of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls and restored the enzymic and non-enzymatic antioxidants level. This observation was supplemented by histopathological examination in liver. Our data indicate that the tannoid, flavonoid and NO scavenging compounds present in EFE may offer protection against free radical mediated oxidative stress in rat hepatocytes of animals with alcohol-induced liver injury. 相似文献

Present investigation shows that hydroethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera (MOHE) and its isolated saponin (SM) attenuates DMBA induced renal carcinogenesis in mice. Isolation of SM was achieved by TLC and HPLC and characterization was done using IR and 1H NMR. Animals were pre-treated with MOHE (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight; p.o), BHA as a standard (0.5 and 1 %) and SM (50 mg/kg body weight) for 21 days prior to the administration of single dose of DMBA (15 mg/kg body weight). Administration of DMBA significantly (p < 0.001) enhanced level of xenobiotic enzymes. It enhanced renal malondialdehyde, with reduction in renal glutathione content, antioxidant enzymes and glutathione-S-transferase. The status of renal aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and total protein content were also found to be decreased along with increase in total cholesterol in DMBA administered mice. Pretreatment with MOHE and SM significantly reversed the DMBA induced alterations in the tissue and effectively suppressed renal oxidative stress and toxicity. 相似文献

The oxidative modification of lipoprotein especially low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a key role in the initiation and
progression of atherosclerosis. Serum apolipoproteinB (apoB) level is found to be an important marker for atherosclerosis.
The present paper focuses on the measurement of serum apoB levels and the effect of Vitamin E, Vitamin C and reduced glutathione
on the copper ion induced oxidation of LDL + VLDL (VLDL-Very Low Density Lipoprotein) lipoprotein fraction isolated from the
serum of chronic renal failure (CRF) and renal transplanted patients. The level of apoB is significantly higher in the serum
of transplanted patients when compared to CRF patients and normal subjects. The level of TBARS formed in oxidized LDL + VLDL
lipoprotein fraction of CRF and renal transplanted patients are significantly increased than normal even in the presence of
antioxidants but the level of TBARS produced, with antioxidants is comparatively lesser than that produced by oxidized lipoprotein
fraction without antioxidants. It may be concluded than that produced by oxidized lipoprotein fraction without antioxidants.
It may be concluded that oxidation of LDL can be prevented at an earlier stage by Vitamin E supplementation. The supplementation
with Glutathione serves as the best method of preventing the lipoprotein oxidation among the renal diseased patients. 相似文献
