Owing to its persistence in the soil for months, it may cause harm to human health. Silymarin is a herbal drug commonly known as hepatoprotective agent. Aim: To reveal the outcomes of exposure to GA3 on the pancreatic functions in late days of gestation and early lactation and to elucidate the possible protective role of silymarin on these alterations if present and the pathophysiological pathways. Materials and Methods: 18 lactating Albino rats & 18 pups were classified into control group, GA3-treated group: received GA3 dissolved in drinking water (55 mg/kg/day), and silymarin & GA3-treated group: administered both GA3 & 100 mg/kg silymarin during the last week of pregnancy & the first 2 weeks of lactation. Serum levels of glucose, insulin & amylase were measured. Pancreatic tissue homogenate was used for the assessment of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) & tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Additionally, pancreatic specimens were processed for histological examination. Results: Administration of GA3 impaired pancreatic functions in dams and pups namely, elevated serum levels of glucose and amylase & reduced insulin levels accompanied with significant increased oxidative stress & inflammatory markers in pancreatic homogenate and altered the general histological pancreatic appearance. Co-treatment with silymarin potently improved these biochemical & histological alterations. Conclusion: Silymarin attenuates GA3-induced alterations in pancreatic functions through cytoprotecting actions on pancreatic exo- and endo-crine cells.","PeriodicalId":9347,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Egyptian Society for Physiological Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81198249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many risk factors for CHD but recently the role of oxidative stress in progression of atherosclerosis has been more recognized. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) protects against oxidation of LDL and many polymorphisms in both of exons and promoter regions of (PON1) gene have been investigated for their association with CHD. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between CHD suceptibility and PON1 Q192R (A/G) gene polymorphism in a cohort of Egyptian individuals. Methods: The study included 100 subjects, 50 patients who admitted to cardiovascular department with established diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease by coronary angiography and 50 healthy participants. Genotyping of PON1 Q192R (A/G) was done, and then serum concentration of PON1 was assessed by ELISA after that by spectrophotometer. Results: Serum PON1 enzyme was lower in patients with CHD than in control group with a statistically significant difference p < 0.001. A statistically significant association was observed with AG and GG genotypes of PON1 gene with CHD with P= 0.003, OR=5.02(95% CI =1.66-15.26) and P= 0.038, OR= 9.4 (95% CI =1.07-82.5); respectively. The G allele of PON1 was higher in CHD patients than controls suggesting that this allele may demonstrate a susceptibility effect to CHD in our cohort with P<0.001, OR= 5.16 (95% CI = 2.1-12.5) Conclusion: The Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene may be a susceptibility gene associated with increased risk of CHD among Egyptians.","PeriodicalId":9347,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Egyptian Society for Physiological Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91084915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodology: Forty adult male Wister albino rats, divided into 4 group (10 rats/group) normal diet (control and STG groups), or high Methionine enriched diet, 1.5 % Methionine (Met and Met + STG treated groups) for 35 days.

Results: Met resulted in significant increase in LDL and cholesterol with significant decrease in HDL. Moreover, it had resulted in significant increase ALT and AST, with significant increase serum iron and homocysteine with no effect on serum ferritin, and significant decrease in tissue reduced glutathione as an antioxidant enzyme. STG with normal control diet had positive effects on different parameters. Treatment with STG has resulted in an improvement in most of altered parameters.

Methods: We performed real-time PCR for the quantification of HBV-DNA in the serum of 139 ESRD patients and for diagnosis of MicroRNA-30a rs1358379 polymorphism in the serum of patients and 100 healthy controls. Results: Out of 139 patients, 125 (89.9%) were HBsAg negative. We observed a high percentage of the CC genotype among patients (106=76.2%), while the CT and TT genotypes were (19=13.7%) and (14=10.1%), respectively. The C allele represented 83.1% in patients whereas the T allele was 16.9%. The CC and CT genotypes in patients had a statistically significant difference in the mean level of PCR. The CT genotype in patients among males and the TT genotype amongst females had the higher statistically significant percentages. The presence of C allele declared a statistically significant difference in the mean levels of AST and PCR.
