Abstract

Ceftriaxone (CTX) is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. This agent also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. In the current study, the effects of CTX against hepatorenal damages in a D-galactose (DGL) induced aging model were investigated. We used twenty-eight male mice which equally and randomly were separated into four groups as follows: Control, DGL group (treated with 500 mg/kg/day DGL orally for six weeks), DGL + CTX group (treated with 500 mg/kg/day DGL orally plus 200 mg/kg/day CTX intraperitoneally for six weeks), and CTX group (treated with 200 mg/kg/day CTX intraperitoneally for six weeks). The liver and kidney function indices such as serum creatinine, blood urine nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase were measured. Also, levels of malondialdehyde, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in hepatic and renal tissues were evaluated. Moreover, the expression profiles of interleukin 1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha were assessed. The liver and kidney tissues were assessed for histopathological lesions. The results showed that aging induced by DGL leads to abnormalities in functional indices of the liver and kidneys...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
