Lack of preventive effect of maternal exposure to α-glycosyl isoquercitrin and α-lipoic acid on developmental hypothyroidism-induced aberrations of hippocampal neurogenesis in rat offspring

2020-04-21T18:00:35+00:00

Hypothyroidism during the developmental stage induces disruption of hippocampal neurogenesis in later life, as well as inducing oxidative stress in the brain. The present study investigated the preventive effect of co-exposure to an antioxidant on disruptive neurogenesis induced by developmental exposure to anti-thyroid agent in rats. For this purpose, we used two antioxidants, [...]

Pathology of the Liver and Gallbladder

2020-04-29T15:41:10+00:00

Abstract: The liver is a major metabolic organ, and the first site of contact of xenobiotics follows oral ingestion or administration. The primary functional unit of the liver is the hepatic lobule. Gradients for metabolizing enzyme and oxygen tension in the hepatic lobule determine toxification and detoxification of ingested xenobiotics with immediately toxic [...]

Ten-day and four-week toxicity and toxicokinetics studies of alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin in juvenile Göttingen minipigs

2020-04-24T17:09:04+00:00

Background: Alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ) is widely used as an anti-oxidative food additive in many products. Nevertheless, information on its safety and toxicity is still very limited. A 90-day toxicity study in rats and comprehensive genotoxic studies have proven AGIQ to be safe. Aim: The goal of this study was to assess the safety [...]

Ameliorating effect of postweaning exposure to antioxidant on disruption of hippocampal neurogenesis induced by developmental hypothyroidism in rats

2020-04-26T17:11:18+00:00

Developmental hypothyroidism as a model of autism spectrum disorders disrupts hippocampal neurogenesis through the adult stage. The present study investigated the ameliorating effect of postweaning exposure to antioxidant on the hypothyroidism-induced disruptive neurogenesis. Mated female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 0 or 10 ppm 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) as an anti-thyroid agent in drinking water [...]

Continuous exposure to α-glycosyl isoquercitrin from developmental stage facilitates fear extinction learning in rats

2019-03-08T20:46:05+00:00

This study investigated the effect of exogenously administered polyphenolic antioxidant, α-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ), on neural function in rats following dietary exposure at 0.5% from gestational day 6 to postnatal day 77, in comparison with nonpolyphenolic α-lipoic acid (ALA) at 0.2%. AGIQ-exposed offspring revealed enhanced fear extinction learning at the 3rd trial and transcript [...]

Reevaluation of Hepatocellular Neoplasms in CD-1 Mice from a 2-year Oral Carcinogenicity Study with Permethrin

2019-03-08T20:45:15+00:00

A 24-month oral carcinogenicity study of permethrin was conducted by feeding male and female CD-1 mice diets containing concentrations of 0, 20, 500, and 2,000 ppm of permethrin (males) or 0, 20, 2,500, and 5,000 ppm of permethrin (females). After approximately two years on study, surviving mice were sacrificed for the evaluation of [...]

In Vivo Imaging With Confirmation by Histopathology for Increased Rigor and Reproducibility in Translational Research: A Review of Examples, Options, and Resources

2019-03-08T15:48:10+00:00

Preclinical noninvasive imaging can be an indispensable tool for studying animal models of disease. In vivo imaging to assess anatomical, functional, and molecular features requires verification by a comparison to the macroscopic and microscopic morphological features, since all noninvasive in vivo imaging methods have much lower resolution than standard histopathology. Comprehensive pathological evaluation [...]

Utilizing novel telepathology system in preclinical studies and peer review

2019-01-13T17:57:33+00:00

The demand for board certified toxicologic pathologists and expansion of IT capabilities has resulted in an increase of “virtual” and “distance” pathology (telepathology), and a need for greater flexibility in real time consultations. Newly developed microscope-integrated telepathology systems enable geographically remote stakeholders to view the live histopathology slide as seen by the microscope [...]

Differential impacts of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist potassium canrenoate on liver and renal changes in high fat diet-mediated early hepatocarcinogenesis model rats

2019-01-13T18:01:28+00:00

Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)/NADPH oxidase (NOX) signaling is involved in the development of obesity, insulin resistance, and renal diseases; however, the role of this signaling on steatotic preneoplastic liver lesions is not fully elucidated. We determined the effects of the MR antagonist potassium canrenoate (PC) on MR/NOX signaling in hepatic steatosis and preneoplastic glutathione S-transferase [...]

Spironolactone in Combination with Alpha-glycosyl Isoquercitrin Prevents Steatosis-related Early Hepatocarcinogenesis in Rats through the Observed NADPH Oxidase Modulation

2018-11-09T18:06:07+00:00

Administration of the diuretic, spironolactone (SR), can inhibit chronic liver diseases. We determined the effects of SR alone or in combination with the antioxidant α-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ) on hyperlipidemia- and steatosis-related precancerous lesions in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed rats subjected to a two-stage hepatocarcinogenesis model. Rats were fed with control basal diet or HFD, [...]
