Celecoxib has Preventive and Therapeutic Benefits against Nephrotoxicity Caused by Gentamicin in Mice
Drug Res (Stuttg) DOI: 10.1055/a-1785-4005It’s crucial to comprehend the impact of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gentamicin-induced kidney injury mechanism. Celecoxib was administered orally either before or after intraperitoneal therapy with gentamicin in mice. The serum levels of creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), IL-6, and TNF-α were measured by ELISA test, as well as the levels of the kidney tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) were also estimated spectrophotometrically. The renal expression of nuclear ...

Decipher the inhibitory potential of phytocompounds from Leptadenia reticulata on dopamine D2 receptor to enhance prolactin secretion
Drug Res (Stuttg) DOI: 10.1055/a-1735-2887Dopamine is secreted by the hypothalamus, which inhibits the proliferation and effectiveness of lactotroph cells that release prolactin via dopamine D2 receptor (D2R). D2R activation inhibits lactotroph cell prolactin synthesis and regulates prolactin gene expression. Although, commercial medications are available for hypogalactia and agalactia, various plant sources significantly alleviate these problems. Leptadenia reticulata (Jivanti) is one of the important medicinal plants often consumed by nursing mothers to improve ...

Toxicity of Hydrogen Sulfide on Rat Brain Neurons
This study investigated the mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by H2S in brain neurons. thioacetamide has been used to produce H2S in water solutions. The results of the study showed that thioacetamide at concentrations of 116, 232 and 464 µg/ml was able to increase the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), collapse in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), damage to the lysosomal membrane, increase in the level of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and decrease in the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) in brain neurons. The results of the s...

Repercussion of cAMP and EPAC in Memory and Signaling
Drug Res (Stuttg) DOI: 10.1055/a-1657-2464It is well recognized that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling within neurons plays a key role in the foundation of long-term memories. Memory storage is the process that demands the movement of signals, neural plasticity, and the molecules which can transfer the signals from the sensory neuron to the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and later into the temporal region of the brain. The discovery of cAMP in 1958 as the second messenger also had a role in memory formation and other neural aspects. Further, in 1...

Assessment of Sumatriptan on Sepsis-Induced Kidney injury in the Cecal Ligation and Puncture Mice Model
This study was aimed to assess the effects of sumatriptan on kidney injury, the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the percentage of survival in (CLP)-induced sepsis were examined.Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model was done on adult C57BL/6 male mice to induce Polymicrobial sepsis. Sumatriptan was injected intraperitoneally 1 h after the sepsis induction by CLP at doses of 0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg in 3 treatment groups. To study the effect of sumatriptan on short-term survival, septic animals were detected 72 h after CLP. Serum le...
