Are anti-inflammatory properties of lipoic acid associated with the formation of hydrogen sulfide?
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2013, Vol 65, Issue 4
Abstract
Lipoic acid (LA) was shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we present evidence supporting the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory properties of LA are associated with the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Effects of GABA(B) receptor ligands in animal tests of depression and anxiety.
Preclinical evidence strongly implicates GABA(B) receptors in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders including anxiety and depression. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the selective GABA...
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as a target for pharmacotherapy.
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is synthesized during the methylation of protein arginine residues by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT) and is released during proteolysis. ADMA is a competitive inhibitor of n...
Different effects of postnatal caffeine treatment on two pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure models persist into adulthood.
Postnatal treatment with caffeine from P7 to P11 (10 or 20 mg/kg daily) resulted in transient changes in two pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced models of epileptic seizures characterized by spike-and-wave EEG rhythm in imm...
Anti-hypertensive effects of probenecid via inhibition of the α-adrenergic receptor.
Probenecid has long been used in the treatment of gout. Its anti-gout mechanisms consist of uric acid reuptake inhibition and the consequent facilitation of uric acid excretion. In the present study, we investigated whet...
