Acute Administration of Edaravone Improves Cognitive Impairment in a Mouse Model of mPFC Ischemia: Crosstalk Between Necroptosis, Neuroinflammation, and Antioxidant Defense.

Edaravone (Eda), a well-known free radical scavenger, has been reported as a possible therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke patients' recovery. This study aimed to investigate the effects of time-dependent treatment with Eda on medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) ischemia. Mice were randomly allocated into six groups: control, sham, normal saline, Eda-I, Eda-II, and Eda-III.

Eplerenone reduces renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury by modulating Klotho, NF-κB and SIRT1/SIRT3/PGC-1α signalling pathways.

Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden impairment in kidney function that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial impairment and energy depletion, along with organ dysfunction are hallmarks of AKI. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Eplerenone, an aldosterone receptor antagonist, on the kidney injury caused by ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R).

Hepatoprotective effects of sericin on aging-induced liver damage in mice.

Aging is a physiological process in which there is a progressive decline of function in multiple organs such as the liver. The development of natural therapies, such as sericin, for delaying age-associated diseases is of major interest in this regard. Twenty-seven mice were divided into three groups of nine, including young control group (8 weeks, received normal saline), aged control group (24 months, received normal saline), and sericin-treated aged mice (24 months, received sericin at dose 100 mg/kg/day) via oral administration for 14 days.

Comparative study of gavage and intraperitoneal administration of gamma-oryzanol in alleviation/attenuation in a rat animal model of renal ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury.

Objectives: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury. This study aimed to elucidate the reno-protective effect of gamma-oryzanol (GO) by comparing gavage and intraperitoneal (IP) administration methods on renal I/R injury in a rat model.

Materials And Methods: Rats were divided into four groups including (group 1) sham, (group 2) I/R-control, (group 3) I/R+GO gavage-treated, and (group 4) I/R+ GO IP-treated.

Current progress in cancer immunotherapy based on natural killer cells.

One of the most common diseases in the present era is cancer. The common treatment methods used to control cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Despite progress in the treatment of cancers, there still is no definite therapeutic approach.

Salvia officinalis hydroalcoholic extract improved reproduction capacity and behavioral activity in rats exposed to immobilization stress.

This study was conducted to evaluate the Salvia officinalis hydroalcoholic extract on fertility capacity and behavioral features in rats exposed to immobilization stress. Male rats were randomly divided into five groups; Control; Stressed rats; and Stressed rats received 50, 100 and/or 200 mg/kg bw S. officinalis hydroalcoholic extract.
