Morin Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharides-Induced Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy and Cognitive Impairment in Albino Mice.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a common neurological complication of sepsis that is characterized by neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis, which results in cognitive impairments in septic survivors. Despite numerous treatment options for this condition, none of them are definite. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of morin, a flavone known for its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, against lipopolysaccharides-induced sepsis-associated encephalopathy in albino mice for 7 days.

Ultrastructural effects of Staphylococcus aureus toxicity on albino mice kidney.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a prominent infectious etiological agent in humans, dairy animals, and camels. Camel milk has all the nutrients which are nutritious and advantageous to the growth of S.

Morin attenuates sepsis-induced acute kidney injury by regulating inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and tubular regeneration (morin and sepsis-induced acute kidney injury).

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a health complication, encompassing excessive inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and tubular necrosis; leading to kidney failure and death. Sepsis treatments are nonspecific and palliative. In this study, we evaluated the effect of morin, a flavonoid with known nephroprotective capabilities, on sepsis-induced AKI by dividing eighty male mice into: normal, morin-treated, septic, and septic mice treated with morin.

Flaxseed lignans alleviates isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy by regulating myocardial remodeling and oxidative stress.

Cardiovascular diseases, the leading global cause of death, are usually associated with cardiac hypertrophy (CH). CH is an adaptive response of the heart against cardiac overloading, but continuous CH accelerates cardiac remodeling and results in heart failure. Available CH therapies delay the progress of heart failure, but they often fail to control symptoms or restore quality of life.

Calanus oil attenuates isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy by regulating myocardial remodeling and oxidative stress.

Calanus oil, an oil extracted from the marine crustacean Calanus finmarchicus, is one of the richest sources of omega-3 and poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Although calanus oil has been shown to have a significant anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-obesity effects in various cardiovascular diseases, but little is known about its effect on pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Thus, the present study was carried out to evaluate the therapeutic effect of calanus oil on cardiac hypertrophy.

Spirulina inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma through activating p53 and apoptosis and suppressing oxidative stress and angiogenesis.

Background: Most hepatocellular carcinoma cases are diagnosed at late stages of the disease, which makes it the second cause of cancer mortality worldwide. For advanced-stage patients, chemotherapeutic drugs are the best treatment option; however, their adverse effects and high cost are still major obstacles for effective treatment. Spirulina microalga is a rich source of nutritional and bioactive elements and potential pharmaceuticals, which has an -proliferative effect against several cancer cell lines.

Effect of dehydroepiandrosterone on the liver of perimenopausal rat: multiple doses study.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a widespread nutritional "anti-aging" supplement. Exogenous supplementation of DHEA is now being commonly used to augment ovarian stimulation in perimenopausal women with diminished ovarian reserve. Whether DHEA causes side effects in such age is, however, unknown.

Effects of dehydroepiandrosterone on the ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcomes in perimenopausal rats (DHEA and fertility in perimenopausal rats).

Background: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a weak androgen and a crucial precursor of sex steroids. Exogenous supplementation of DHEA is now being commonly used to augment ovarian stimulation in women with diminished ovarian reserve. However, the effects of DHEA are controversial.
