Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how exposure to malathion and carbon tetrachloride affects bioenergetic processes in rats and whether the enterosorbent enterosgel helps mitigate these effects.
- Rats were divided into nine groups, receiving malathion daily and carbon tetrachloride twice, while measuring enzyme activity related to energy metabolism and glucose levels.
- Results showed that enterosgel improved mitochondrial enzyme activity and reduced serum glucose, indicating a restoration of energy processes in the rats following toxic exposure.
Objective: The aim: To study pro- and antioxidant systems indicators in rats with chemically induced colon carcinogenesis on the background of the reishi mushrooms dry extract use.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study was performed on 120 white male rats. Chronic oncogenic intoxication was modeled by administering 1,2-dimethyl¬hydrazine (DMH) hydrochloride for 30 weeks (1 time per week).
Glutathione (GSH) has been the focus of increased scientific interest in the last decades. It plays a crucial role in all major physiological processes by supplying antioxidant defenses through participating in cellular redox reactions in the human body and other living organisms. GSH also participates in detoxifying xenobiotics, protecting protein thiols from crosslinking and oxidation, regulating the cell cycle, storing cysteine, etc.
