Evaluating Hepatoprotective Potential of Silymarin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was bought from the Sigma Aldrich Company, USA. A standard hepatoprotective drug named silymarin (Brand name: silybin) was obtained as a gift from Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Again, SGPT, SGOT, ALP, Creatinine, Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglyceride were assessed by using blood serum analyzing kits, which were bought from Orbit Trade Ltd, and Gentech Ltd, Bangladesh. These parameters were analyzed by Humalyzer 3000, Germany [50 (link), 51 (link)]. LDH, CAT, SOD, and MDA were measured by maintaining the parameters provided by Jianchueng Biochemical Technological Institute, Nanjing [52 (link)]. γ-GT were calculated using standard AMP diagnostic kits from Stattogger Strasse 31b 8045 Graz, Austria [53 (link)]. Later, different groups’ oxidative stress parameters and DNA fragmentation were completed by using Diphenylamine reaction procedure, and the calculation was conducted with the help of the following formula:
%FragmentedDNA=[OD(S)[OD(S)+OD(P)]×100
(OD: optical density, S: supernatants, P: pellets) [54 ].

Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Acute Liver Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) (Sigma) was used to induce mild acute liver injury. Mice received 3 intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 10% CCl4 (diluted in olive oil) at a dose of 0.5 μl/g body weight13 (link) or vehicle (olive oil) every other day for 1 week.8 (link) Animals were sacrificed 48 h after the last dose under ketamine/midazolam anesthesia. At least 5 animals per group were used in isolation experiments and 6 to 12 animals per group in total tissue experiments making a total of 81 mice analyzed. All experiments were performed with mice between 10 and 14 weeks of age. We analyzed the effect of liver injury in male and female mice and the effect was similar in both genders, so all subsequent experiments were performed indistinctly in male and female mice.

Male or female Swiss Webster wild-type or transgenic (TG) Swiss Webster mice (Stock TG (connective tissue growth factor-enhanced green fluorescent protein [CCN2-EGFP]) FX156GSat/Mmucd expressing EGFP under the control of the CCN2 promoter [21]) (TG CCN2-EGFP) mice (4–5 weeks; n = 5 per group) received i.p. carbon tetrachloride (CCl4; 175 μl in 1325 μl corn oil/kg; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) on Days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Control mice received i.p. corn oil (1500 μl/kg) alone on the same days. Some mice received i.p. EVN (0–40 μg EVN protein per g body weight) on Days 2, 4, 6 and 8. Mice were sacrificed on Day 10 and liver lobes were either perfused with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for histological analysis or immediately harvested for EGFP imaging using a Xenogen IVIS 200 (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA).

Sacubitrilat Reduces Carbon Tetrachloride Toxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany) was diluted in corn oil (Sigma). Female and male 3xTg‐AD mice harboring PS1M146V, APPSwe, and tauP301L transgenes[72
] (Jackson Laboratories) and their WT controls (C57BL/6J) were injected intraperitoneally with 50 µL CCl4 in a final dose of 0,7 µL g−1 body weight twice a week (n = 12 per group). Control BL/6 animals were injected with the solvent (corn oil) only. Two groups of BL/6 mice (n = 8) received either 5 or 30 mg kg−1 body weight sacubitrilat (LBQ657, Hoelzel Diagnostika GmBH, Germany), injected daily over the entire period of 5‐week CCl4 treatment. All animals were euthanized under CO2 anesthesia. Blood was obtained by cardiac puncture and centrifuged after 30 min with 4.000 g at 4 °C for 10 min. Blood plasma and tissue samples were frozen at −80 °C until use.

For AKT-CAT tumors, plasmids encoding for activated AKT1 (myristoilated-AKT1) and β-catenin (truncated Δ90N-β-catenin) were used(7 (link)). For AKT-NRASG12V tumors, AKT1 and N-RasG12V plasmids were used(30 (link)). For chronic liver inflammation, mice received a diet containing 0.1% DDC (Bio-Serv, Flemington, NJ) or were treated intraperitoneally twice a week with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4; Sigma) diluted 1:10 in mineral oil (Sigma) at 5μl/g body weight. Mice were kept in accordance with the animal regulations at the NCI/NIH (Bethesda, MD).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
