The effects of olibanum on male reproductive system damage in a lipopolysaccharide induced systemic inflammation model in rat.

Background: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a particle of Gram-negative bacteria is a main contributer in the pathogenesis of the male reproductive system infectious. Male infertility due to LPS is reported to be related to overproduction reactive oxygen species. This study aimed to investigate the effects of olibanum on oxidative stress and apoptosis in testes and sperm dysfunction induced by LPS.

Acetyl-11-Keto-β-Boswellic Acid and Incensole Acetate Attenuate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Inhibiting Inflammation and Oxidative Stress.

Boswellia serrata has been used in traditional medicine to treat various inflammatory diseases. Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) and incensole acetate (IA) are two active ingredients of B. serrata that possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Therapeutic effects of against cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity in rats.

Objective: () has been traditionally used for treating anemia; therefore, hydro-ethanolic extract therapeutic effects against cyclophosphamide (CP) -induced hematologic and liver toxicity were examined.

Materials And Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided to control (saline); CP (100 mg/kg, day 1-3, subcutaneously); CP+ 200 mg/kg (MS 200); CP+ 400 mg/kg (MS 400); CP+ dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg), (all groups n=6).

Unveiling the Effects of Left Hemispheric Intracerebral Hemorrhage on Long-term Potentiation and Inflammation in the Bilateral Hippocampus: A Preclinical Study.

Objective: Changes in cognition and memory are common complications of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), although the exact cause of this phenomenon is still unknown. The objectives of our project were to assess the changes in long-term potentiation, inflammation, and cell damage in the bilateral hippocampus following striatal intracerebral hemorrhage at different time points.

Materials And Methods: Unilateral ICH was induced in the striatum of 96 Wistar rats (6 control groups and 6 ICH groups).

Protective effects of hydro-alcoholic extract of on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in rat liver.

Objective: Liver is an important player in regulation of body homeostasis. Study investigated the effects of hydro-alcohol extract of (ZM) on oxidative damage, level of IL-6 and enzymes of liver in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated rats.

Materials And Methods: The rats were distributed into 5 groups: 1) Control; 2) LPS; and 3-5) ZM-Extract (Ext) 50, ZM-Ext 100, and ZM-Ext 200.
