Abstract

Mangiferin has antioxidant, antiviral, apoptosis regulating, anti‑inflammatory, antitumor and antidiabetic effects, which can also inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption. However, whether mangiferin ameliorates the neurological pain of spinal cord injury (SCI) in ratS remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the therapeutic effects of mangiferin on neurological function, the water content of spinal cord, oxidative stress, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and the protein expression of Bcl‑2/Bax in a SCI rat model. In the present study, the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores, and the water content of the spinal cord were used to analyze the therapeutic effects of mangiferin on neurological pain in the SCI rat. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and the serum levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH‑PX), nuclear factor‑κB p65 unit, tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6 and caspase‑3/9 were detected using commercial kits. The expression levels of Bcl‑2 and Bax were measured using western blot analysis. The results demonstrated that administrating mangiferin began to ameliorate neurological function and the water content of the spinal ...Continue Reading

Antivirals (ASM)

Antivirals are medications that are used specifically for treating viral infections. Discover the latest research on antivirals here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
