Oxidative stress has a critical role in the pathophysiology of several kidney diseases, and
many complications of these diseases are mediated by oxidative stress, oxidative stress …

The observation that the excessive consumption of ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is associated with
high blood pressure is nearing its centennial mark. Mechanisms linking ethanol …

Recent epidemiological reports showed that smoking has a negative impact on renal
function and elevates the renal risk not only in the renal patient but perhaps also in the …

Objective: Ginger has protective effects on the kidney, however the molecular mechanism of
this effect has not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, this work studied molecular …

Introduction: Life expectancy of an obese smoker is 13 years less than a normal weight
smoker, which could be linked to the increased renal risk imposed by smoking. Both …

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and alcohol (EtOH) consumption often occur
together, yet their combined effects on cardiovascular disease development are currently …

Background: Cigarette smoke (CS) is associated with oxidative stress in several organs
because it contains high concentrations of free radicals and reactive oxygen species …

Objectives The effects of longterm ethanol consumption on the levels of nitric oxide (NO) and
the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and …

Chronic nicotine exposure (via smoking, E-cigarettes) increases oxidative stress in the
kidney that sensitizes it to additional injury in experimental models and in the renal patient …

Low-intensity laser therapy is based on the excitation of endogenous chromophores in
biotissues and free-radical generation could be involved in its biological effects. In this work …
