Öğe Effect of BQ-123 and nitric oxide inhibition on liver in rats after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(General Physiol And Biophysics, 2006) Emre, M. H.; Erdogan, H.; Fadillioglu, E.Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury induces an inflammatory response and production of oxygen-derived reactive species which affect many organs including heart, brain, kidney and gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to assess the hepatic changes after renal I/R injury. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to either sham operation or treatment with L-NAME, L-arginine and BQ-123 during 30 min renal ischemia and 2 h reperfusion injury. Hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were evaluated to show hepatic response to renal I/R injury. Catalase and SOD activities showed significant differences between the control and the other groups after I/R. On the other hand, GSH-Px activity did not show any significant changes between the control and the other experimental groups mentioned under above conditions. Meanwhile, levels of TBARS were not different between the control and the other experimental groups, whereas NO level showed changes between the control and experimental groups except the one to which endothelin receptor antagonist agent (BQ-123) subjected. Experimental period may not be enough to determine the changes in GSH-Px activity and level of TBARS. However, catalase and SOD activities decreased in experimental groups treated by chemical agents. NO level decreased in chemicalagent-applied experimental groups but not in the group to which endothelin receptor antagonist BQ-123 wasapplied alone.Öğe Effects of different durations of treadmill training exercise on bone mineral density in growing rats(Inst Sport, 2008) Ertem, K.; Karakoc, Y.; Duzova, H.; Kekilli, E.; Emre, M. H.; Kilinc, E.; Yagmur, C.In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different durations of treadmill training exercise (daily for 30 min and 60 min) on bone mineral density (BMD) in young growing rats. Training consisted of treadmill running at 5 days per week during a period of 13 weeks. The rats in 30 min and 60 min exercise groups began to training on day 63 of life and had maintained for at least a week, with a minimal progression as a guide to the rats' training and adaptation to the treadmill. Running time was gradually increased from 15 min to 30 and 60 min per session for two exercise groups respectively. Control rats were kept in the cages at the same environmental conditions and daily inspected to control their health. At the end of 13 weeks, bone mineral densities of the bilateral tibia of all rats were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (QDR 4500/W, Hologic Inc., Bedford, MA, USA) and results were evaluated. There were significantly increases in BMD of right and left tibia of rats in 30 min exercise group at post-exercise period (p<0.01 for both sides) when compared to the control group. BMD of right and left tibia of rats were also correlated with each other (r=0.556 and p=0.003). Otherwise, there is a positive correlation between pre- and post-exercise body weights of rats (r=0.588 and p=0.002). From our results, we concluded that subjects should perform moderate running exercise for development of bone mass and its protection during the lifelong. However, intensity and duration of performing exercise are required to put in order for every ages or actual physical conditions.Öğe Effects of melatonin and acetylsalicylic acid against hepatic oxidative stress after bile duct ligation in rat(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, 2008) Emre, M. H.; Polat, A.; Esrefoglu, M.; Karabulut, A. B.; Gul, M.The aim of this study was to assess the effect of melatonin and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on hepatic damage induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) Material and methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to either sham operation or common BDL before treatment with ASA, melatonin or vehicle. Hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzyme activities and reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were evaluated. Results: Our results have indicated that BDL caused a significant increase in lipid peroxidation whereas a statistically insignificant decrease in GSH level and some of the antioxidant enzyme activities. Both MEL and ASA administrations, either separately or together, decreased MDA whereas co-administration of MEL with ASA increased GSH levels in BDL rats. Conclusions: CAT activity and MEL level decreased in the liver tissues of rats with BDL after administration of either melatonin alone or with ASA. However, melatonin and ASA administration increases liver tissue GSH levels in BDL ligated ratsÖğe Serum trace elements and glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase activity level in schizophrenia(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008) Kaya, B.; Akdao, N.; Fadyllyoolu, E.; Unal, S.; Sayal, A.; Erdooan, H.; Emre, M. H.[Abstract Not Available]
