Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare levels of inflammatory mediators in rats living at high altitude (HA) versus low altitude (LA) and explore the mechanisms behind any differences.
- - It involved two stages: first, measuring various serum and urinary markers related to inflammation and lipid profiles in rats from both altitudes, and second, examining the inflammatory response in HA rats after blocking adrenergic receptors.
- - Results showed that HA rats had higher inflammatory cytokines and lipid peroxidation, and lower magnesium levels; blocking adrenergic receptors reduced these inflammatory effects, indicating a role of the sympathetic nervous system in the observed reactions.
This study was performed to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of resveratrol (RES) against CdCl2-induced toxicity in rat testes. Seven experimental groups of adult male rats were formulated as follows: A) controls+NS, B) control+vehicle (saline solution of hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin), C) RES treated, D) CdCl2+NS, E) CdCl2+vehicle, F) RES followed by CdCl2 and M) CdCl2 followed by RES. At the end of the protocol, serum levels of FSH, LH and testosterone were measured in all groups, and testicular levels of TBARS and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured.
