Objectives. The aim of the study was to investigate of the effect of administration of Notrombel, (one of the representatives of a new class of compounds, N,N'-substituted piperazines), on systemic hemodynamics and thrombin tolerance. Material and methods. The effect of daily intragastric administration for 14 days of Notrombel (0.01 mM/kg) and ASA (0.01 mM/kg) on the risk of spontaneous hemorrhages and thrombin tolerance (intravenous bolus thrombin administration at a dose of 50 units NIH/kg) was studied in male Wistar rats. The number of circulating platelets was determined before and 5 minutes after thrombin administration. The concentration of fibrinogen after 30 min was determined by the gravimetric method according to Rutberg R. A. Results. With the daily intragastric administration of Notrombel and ASA, spontaneous hemorrhages and increased bleeding were not observed. Blood pressure and heart rate did not differ from the control animals. Intravenous administration of thrombin caused thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia in all experimental animals. The severity of hypofibrinogenemia after thrombin administration was significantly less in rats treated with Notrombel (0.01 mM/kg) and ASA (0.01 mM/kg) than in the control group. There were no differences between Notreblel and ASA groups. Conclusions. Daily intragastric administration of Notrombel and ASA for 14 days did not cause spontaneous hemorrhages and were not associated with any adverse hemodynamic effect. Both Notrombel and ASA increased tolerance to thrombin. These data broaden the currently available knowledge related to the antithrombotic action of Notrombel.

Eighty healthy male Wistar rats, aged 5 weeks, weighing 100–120 g, were utilized for establishing tumour-bearing models by immediate Walker-256 cancerous ascites injection and randomly divided to four groups (n=20) treated with 0.2 ml solution containing saline, 32P-colloid (0.3 mCi), endostatin gene (20 μg), endostatin gene combined with colloid 32P. The effect of endostatin combined with a small dose of 32P-colloidal on tumour growth in vivo was evaluated and the potential mechanism underlying the combined therapy was explored. We found that 32P-colloid combined with endostatin exhibited higher inhibitory effect upon tumour growth compared with application of 32P-colloid or endostatin alone, although three therapies all significantly inhibited tumour growth compared with saline control group. The higher inhibitory effect of 32P-colloid combined with endostatin upon tumour growth might be attributed to a synergistic effect of inhibiting angiogenesis by endostatin and inducing apoptosis by 32P-colloid, as demonstrated by microvessel density (MVD) and apoptotic index (AI) measurement. Combined therapy of 32P-colloid and endostatin probably serves as a novel and efficacious therapy of tumour growth.

Aims: Homeopaths diverge on the concept of dose, i.e. the amount of drug that a patient must take to alter his or her state of disease. In order to stimulate reflections on this concept, this study sought to evaluate in vivo the effect of different concentrations of Arsenicum album 6cH prepared according to homeopathic pharmacotechnics. Methods: male Wistar rats were intoxicated with arsenic and then treated with Arsenicum album 6cH and Arsenicum album 6cH diluted at 1%, administered orally. The amount of arsenic retained in the animals’ organism and that eliminated by urine were measured through atomic absorption spectroscopy. Samples of urine were collected before and after intoxication and during treatment. The positive control group (intoxicated animals) and the negative control group (non-intoxicated animals) received only the vehicle used in the preparation of the medicine. Results: Groups treated with Arsenicum album 6cH and Arsenicum album 6cH diluted at 1% eliminated significant amounts of arsenic when compared to the control groups. The group treated with Arsenicum album 6cH eliminated significantly higher amounts of arsenic than the group treated with the diluted medicine at 1%. Conclusion: results suggest that Arsenicum album 6cH should not be diluted as not to compromise its effectiveness in the treatment of rats intoxicated with arsenic.

Aluminum is widely used in life but includes non-essential metals toxic to the human body that most accumulates in the femur. Aluminum is toxic because it increases the number of free radicals resulting in oxidative stress that causes osteoblast apoptosis. Tamarindus indica has the most potent antioxidant effect on the seed. The polyphenol content in Tamarindus indica seed are myricetin, procyanidin B2, and caffeic acid. Antioxidants in Tamarindus indica seed have mechanism of donating electrons from the -OH group in the phenolic ring to stop oxidative chain reactions and prevent the formation of hydroxyl radicals and lipid peroxidation that play a role in cell apoptosis. The purpose of this study  to determine the effect of giving Tamarindus indica extract on the total osteoblasts of femur bone in male wistar rats induced by aluminum. This research is a true experimental in vivo with randomized post-test only control group design using 25 male Wistar rats divided into five groups. Aluminum is given orally dose 300mg/kgBB and Tamarindus indica extract dose 25, 50, 100mg/kgBB for 10 weeks. The results of this study indicate the average total of osteoblasts in groups K, P1, P2, P3, P4 are 15.21 ± 1.71; 18.48 ± 3.65; 17.8 ± 7.05; 17.13 ± 1.16; 16.74 ± 5.71. Data analysis used the Kruskal Wallis test. The results of data analysis showed that there was no significant differences in all groups (p = 0.581). Based on the results of this study, Tamarindus indica extract that was given to male wistar rats induced by aluminum for 10 weeks had no effect on the total osteoblasts.

<p>Liver is an organ with complex metabolism. When the liver is inflamed, cellular immunity will defend against inflammatory agents by stimulating immune cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS accumulation cause oxydative stress with increased  liver malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Some researches showed that purple sweet potato contain flavonoids (anthocyanins) that functioned as antioxydants. This study aimed to show the prophylactic effect of purple sweet potato extract to the liver MDA level of male Wistar rats induced by carrageenan.</p><p>This study used post-only control group method using 18 male Wistar rats divided into 3 groups: group of rats without treatment, group of rats induced by 0,1 ml of 1% carrageenan by intraplantar injection on day-8, and group of rats given with 872 mg/kgBW of purple sweet potato extract for 7 days and induced by 0,1 ml of 1% carrageenan. In the end of the study, the liver MDA levels were measured by Thio-Barbituric Acid method on each groups.</p><p>The results of One-Way ANOVA test showed there was no significant difference (p = 0,290) between group of rats without treatment (<em>x̅</em>= 207,50) and group of rats induced by carrageenan (<em>x̅</em>=233,17). Then, there is no significant difference (p = 0.978) between group of rats induced by carrageenan and group of rats given with prophylactic purple sweet potato extract and induced by carrageenan (<em>x̅</em>= 232,50).</p><p>The conclusion of this study is giving intraplantar injection of carrageenan can increase liver MDA level insignificantly and giving prophylactic purple sweet potato extract has an effect to decrease the liver MDA level of rats induced by carragenan insignificantly because it contains anthocyanins as antioxidants.</p><p> </p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Liver, <em>Ipomoea batatas</em> L., Malondialdehyde, Anthocyanins

AbstractApproved medications for alcohol use disorder (AUD) display modest effect sizes. Pharmacotherapy aimed at the mechanism(s) by which ethanol activates the dopamine reward pathway may offer improved outcomes. Basal and ethanol-induced accumbal dopamine release in the rat involve glycine receptors (GlyR) in the nucleus accumbens (nAc). Glycine transporter 1 (GlyT-1) inhibitors, which raise extracellular glycine levels, have repeatedly been shown to decrease ethanol intake in the rat. To further explore the rational for elevating glycine levels in the treatment of AUD, this study examined accumbal extracellular glycine and dopamine levels and voluntary ethanol intake and preference in the rat, after systemic treatment with glycine. The effects of three different doses of glycine i.p. on accumbal glycine and dopamine levels were examined using in vivo microdialysis in Wistar rats. In addition, the effects of the intermediate dose of glycine on voluntary ethanol intake and preference were examined in a limited access two-bottle ethanol/water model in the rat. Systemic glycine treatment increased accumbal glycine levels in a dose-related manner, whereas accumbal dopamine levels were elevated in a subpopulation of animals, defined as dopamine responders. Ethanol intake and preference decreased after systemic glycine treatment. These results give further support to the concept of elevating central glycine levels to reduce ethanol intake and indicate that targeting the glycinergic system may represent a pharmacologic treatment principle for AUD.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of vanadium complexes on triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (Chol), uric acid (UA), urea (U), and antioxidant parameters: nonenzymatic (FRAP—ferric reducing ability of plasma, and reduced glutathione—GSH) and enzymatic (glutathione peroxidase—GPx, catalase—CAT, and GPx/CAT ratio) activity in the plasma of healthy male Wistar rats. Three vanadium complexes: [VO(bpy)2]SO4⋅2H2O, [VO(4,4′Me2bpy)2]SO4⋅2H2O, and Na[VO(O2)2(bpy)]⋅8H2O are administered by gavage during 5 weeks in two different diets such as control (C) and high fatty (F) diets. Changes of biochemical and antioxidants parameters are measured in plasma. All three vanadium complexes statistically decrease the body mass growth in comparison to the control and fatty diet. In plasma GSH was statistically increased in all vanadium complexes-treated rats from control and fatty group in comparison to only control group. Calculated GPX/CAT ratio was the highest in the control group in comparison to others.

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of probiotic fermented milk (FM) containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota, alone as well as in combination with chlorophyllin (CHL) as an antioxidant agent in male Wistar rats administered aflatoxin-B1 (AFB1). AFB1 was injected intraperitoneally at the rate of 450 μg/kg body weight per animal twice a week for 6 weeks, maintaining an equal time interval between the two consecutive AFB1 administrations. A total of 125 male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to five groups, each group having twenty-five animals. Group I was offered FM containing L. rhamnosus GG and L. casei strain Shirota. Group II was administered AFB1 and served as the control group; group III was administered FM-AFB1, in which besides administering AFB1, FM was also offered. Group IV was offered CHL and AFB1, and group V was offered both FM and CHL along with AFB1. The rats were euthanised at the 15th and 25th week of the experiment and examined for the biochemical and hepatopathological profile. A significant reduction in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) was observed in the FM–CHL–AFB1 group compared with the AFB1 control group. FM alone or in combination with CHL was found to show a significant (P < 0·05) hepatoprotective effect by lowering the levels of TBARS and by enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione-S-transferase, indicating that probiotic FM alone or in combination with CHL possesses a potent protective effect against AFB1-induced hepatic damage.
