The efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has led to an increase demand for therapeutic use, thereby necessitating investigation into drug toxicity. This study was designed to investigate the in vivo effects of HAART on sperm parameters and testicular oxidative stress in lean and obese rats. Wistar rats (males, n = 40, weighing 180∼200 g) were assigned randomly into 4 groups and...... hiện toàn bộ
Subcutaneous Four-Week Repeated Dose Toxicity Studies of Rice Cell-Derived Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor in RatsToxicological Research - Tập 24 - Trang 315-320 - 2008

Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) is a glycoprotein and hematopoietic growth factors that regulates the proliferation of myeloid precursor cells and activates mature granulocytes and macrophages. In a previous study, we reported that hGM-CSF could be produced in transgenic rice cell suspension culture, termed rhGM-CSF. In the present study, we examined th...... hiện toàn bộ

This study was performed to evaluate the toxicity of cadmium selenide for a period of 28 days in Sprague-Dawley rats. Each of 10 healthy male and females rats per group received daily oral administration for 28-day period at dosage levels 30, 300 and 1,000 mg/kg of body weight. Mortality and clinical signs were checked, and body weight, water intake and food consumption were also recorded weekly. ...... hiện toàn bộ

Chemotherapy is associated with male infertility. Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloro-platinum (II) (CDDP) as a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of cancers has been reported to most likely induce testicular toxicity. Administration of antioxidants, such as pentoxifylline (PTX) may reduce some Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) of CDDR Therefore, this study investigated the potentially protect...... hiện toàn bộ
Pelargonium sidoides extract mediates nephrotoxicity through mitochondrial malfunction and cytoskeleton destabilizationToxicological Research - Tập 39 - Trang 601-609 - 2023

We investigated the cytotoxic effect of Pelargonium sidoides extract on Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. P. sidoides extract decreased the cell viability in a dose dependent manner (> 0.2%). The extract of P. sidoides decreased the mitochondrial action potential, increased the number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the cell, and caused nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH...... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphoinositides Signaling and Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition: Putative Topic for Basic Toxicological ResearchToxicological Research - Tập 24 - Trang 1-9 - 2008
Chang Ho Lee
Ptdlns(4,5)P2 is a key cellular phosphoinositide that localizes in separate and distinctive pools in subcellular membrane and vesicular compartments. In membranes, Ptdlns(4,5)P2 acts as a precursor to second messengers and is itself a main signaling and targeting molecule. Specific subcellular localization of type I PIP kinases directed by interacting with specific targeting module differentiates ...... hiện toàn bộ
Modulation of Apoptosis and Differentiation by the Treatment of Sulfasalazine in Rabbit Articular ChondrocytesToxicological Research - Tập 32 - Trang 115-121 - 2016
Won Kil Lee, Jin Seok Kang
This study was conducted to examine the cellular regulatory mechanisms of sulfasalazine (SSZ) in rabbit articular chondrocytes treated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Cell phenotype was determined, and the MTT assay, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining of type II collagen was performed in control, SNP-treated and SNP plus SSZ (50~200 µg/mL) rabbit articular chondrocytes.
