Resveratrol improves diabetic retinopathy possibly through oxidative stress - nuclear factor κB - apoptosis pathway.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2012, Vol 64, Issue 6
Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the possible effectiveness of resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) administration on oxidative stress, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activity and apoptosis rate in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic retinopathy.

Modulation of Th1/Th2 cytokine production by selective and nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitors administered to mice.
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors can modulate the functions of immune cells, including T lymphocytes, due to increased intracellular levels of cyclic nucleotides. The drugs (aminophylline, milrinone and sildenafil) wer...
Prostacyclin, but not nitric oxide, is the major mediator of acetylcholine-induced vasodilatation in the isolated mouse heart.
In many species, acetylcholine (Ach) induces coronary vasodilatation via endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO). The aim of the present study was to examine if this rule pertains also to the coronary circulation of the mo...
