Isolated rat livers were perfused at 35 degrees C with bovine serum albumin (40 g/l) in Krebs Ringer bicarbonate buffer, or with the same solution containing insulin (0.22 x 10(-6) mol/l), hydrocortisone (0.068 x 10(-3) mol/l), or both hormones together. Observations on the synthesis of bile and on perfusate levels of potassium, aspartate aminotransferase, urea and glucose showed that the presence of insulin and/or hydrocortisone had no beneficial effect on the perfused rat liver in vitro. There is little justification of the isolated liver.

Background: Cardiac β3-adrenergic receptors (ARs) are upregulated in diseased hearts and mediate antithetic effects to those of β1AR and β2AR. β3AR agonists were recently shown to protect against myocardial remodeling in preclinical studies and to improve systolic function in patients with severe heart failure. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Background: Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC) is characterized by severe myocardial damage that can progress to dilated cardiomyopathy and potentially lead to heart failure. No effective prevention or treatment strategies are available for DIC. Sauchinone, a diastereomeric lignan isolated from Saururus chinensis, is known for its notable anti-inflammatory effects.

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are glial cells that myelinate axons in the central nervous system (CNS). These cells are generated from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) during CNS development, and the population of OPCs that remain in the adult is responsible for spontaneous remyelination in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus, OPCs represent an interesting source for regenerative therapies.

In the current study, a small series of five indole-3-acetic acid-derived arylhydrazone hybrids were synthesized and subjected to comprehensive evaluation of their neuropharmacological and radical-scavenging properties. Minimal neurotoxic effects were observed across diverse subcellular fractions, with particular emphasis on the compound bearing a 2,3-dihydroxy moiety, exhibiting superior neuroprotective effects against HO-induced oxidative stress by preserving the cell viability up to 68%. Noteworthy neuroprotection was observed in 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity using isolated rat brain synaptosomes, with compounds and displaying prominent effects.
