Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is an important clinical complication that occurs after the application of contrast agent in percutaneous coronary intervention. The pathogenesis of CIAKI is complex. Studies have shown that cell apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in renal tubular injury in CIAKI.

A co-amorphous state composed of probucol (PC) and fluvastatin sodium salt (FLU) was prepared by spray-drying (SD). We have previously reported that PC and atorvastatin calcium trihydrate salt (ATO) formed a co-amorphous state when prepared by a SD method and that the solubility of PC and the amorphous stability were improved by the preparation of the co-amorphous state. In the present study, the physicochemical properties, including the amorphous stability of the prepared co-amorphous state, were characterized.

Evaluation of the toxicity potential of exercise and atorvastatin/metformin combination therapy on STZ-diabetic rats.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

December 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Toxicology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ege University, Izmir, Türkiye.

Exercise is recommended for individuals with diabetes, and metformin and atorvastatin are commonly prescribed to diabetic patients. However, these two drugs have potential effects that may lead to toxicity in the skeletal muscle system. Therefore, the effects and potential interactions of combining these two drugs on skeletal muscle performance and structure were investigated in vivo in an experimental diabetes model.

Objectives: Isostrictiniin (ITN), a natural polyphenol extracted from (snow-white waterlily), has antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities that may be beneficial in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of ITN on high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFSD)-induced steatosis in MASLD mice and its mechanisms.

Methods: Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control and HFSD groups.
