Abstract

Despite it being a highly potent antineoplastic drug, cisplatin has important toxic adverse effects limiting its use such as nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and ototoxicity. It is thought that cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity is caused by oxidative stress resulting from increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Apocynin (APO) exerts its antioxidant effect by reducing ROS production via inhibition of NADPH oxidase. The present study intended to demonstrate effects of cisplatin on hepatic pro-oxidant/antioxidant systems and to investigate protective effects of APO against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity. Rats were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 8 each): a) control group; b) single dose of cisplatin (5 mg/kg); c) APO group (20 mg/kg on three consecutive days; i.p.); and d) APO plus cisplatin group. Liver tissue was assessed in all groups by biochemical and histopathological means. Also, serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase levels were studied in all groups. When cisplatin group was compared to controls, it was seen that lipid peroxidation product, total oxidant status and ALT levels were markedly increased, whereas superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase levels were...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Caspases in Metabolic Diseases

Caspases, the family of cysteine proteases are involved in programmed cell death, but their role in metabolic diseases, inflammation and immunity has been of interested. Discover the latest research on caspases in metabolic diseases here.

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly 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
