Thymosins are small peptides, originally identified from the thymus, but now known to be
more widely distributed in many tissues and cells. Thymosins are divided into three main …

OBJECTIVES:: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thymosin α1 (Tα1) in
rats having fructose-induced steatosis. Fructose leads to experimental steatosis in the liver …

This study examined the effects of bioactive substances in rice bran oil on lipid levels and
lipid peroxidation in serum and liver. For 4 weeks, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 1 of …

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the major risk factors that precipitate coronary heart disease
and atherosclerosis. Oxidative stress is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of …

BACKGROUND: The present work explores the myriad of biochemical and cellular changes
that are featured in the early stages of atherosclerosis; if unchecked these changes lead to …

Oxidative stress is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of hypercholesterolaemic
atherosclerosis; hence, various antioxidant compounds are being evaluated for potential …

Cardiovascular diseases are closely associated with a high‑cholesterol or high‑fat diet. The
aim of the present study was to investigate the cadioprotective effect of epigallocatechin‑3 …

Background: Free radical-mediated oxidative stress has been implicated in the genesis and
progression of atherosclerosis. Methods: The lipid peroxides and antioxidant status of …

Previous studies have shown that glutathione (GSH) plays a central role in the protection
against peroxynitrite (ONOO−) toxicity. The present study evaluated the changes of the GSH …

Aim Improperly balanced, highly processed diets rich in calories, carbohydrates and fat are
considered to contribute to oxidative stress induced hypercholesterolaemic atherosclerosis …
