Amelioration of ethanol-induced liver injury in rats by nanogold flakes

Quercetin and its metabolites protect hepatocytes against ethanol-induced oxidative stress by activation of Nrf2 and AP-1

“…This is disagreed with a previous report showing that SOD or CAT activity in rat hepatocytes was decreased after ethanol exposure [17]. However, another study has reported that SOD or CAT activity can be up-regulated by ethanol treatment alone [34]. This result may have been derived from discrepancy in treatment time or ethanol concentration between experiments.…”

Sodium selenite/selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) protect cardiomyoblasts and zebrafish embryos against ethanol induced oxidative stress

“…10). Where as, the treatment of 1% ethanol with 5µg mL -1 SeNPs reduced pericardial edema to about 30% (Figure.11).…”

“…10). Treatment of embryos with 1% ethanol along with 5µg mL -1 sodium selenite significantly inhibited the formation of pericardial edema in about 50% of the embryos (Figure.…”

Comparative evaluation of immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR for measuring proinflammatory cytokines gene expression in livers of rats treated with gold nanoparticles

“…In a liver histological study, Abdelhalim and Jarrar (2012) showed that GNPs-induced liver injury was size-dependent while smaller GNPs caused more damage as compared to larger ones. On contrary, nanogold flakes attenuated alcohol-induced hepatic injury by maintaining the liver antioxidative status besides reducing fat accumulation via decreasing the hepatic TNF-a levels (Chen et al, 2013).…”
