Antidotal Effects of Chrysin Against Respiratory and Neurotoxicity.

Antidote Toxin Experimental Study Mechanism References
STZ Rat Prevention of neurotoxicity via increasing antioxidant content and decreasing lipid peroxidation 5
Formalin Rat Prevention of pain via decreasing CORT and NA 13
CH OVA Mice Protective effects in a murine asthmatic model via inhibiting the total inflammatory cell and eosinophil counts in BALF and IgE levels in serum of sensitized mice, shift the immune response toward a Th1 profile via modulating the transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3 68
OVA Rat Protective effects in a murine asthmatic model via modulation due to suppression effects on iNOS and NF-κB 69
BLC Rat Prevention of histological changes such as alveolar congestion, increased connective tissue, infiltration, and the thickness of alveolar via modulating antioxidant and inflammatory system 71
CS Mice Prevention of airway inflammation, inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8) release, and MPO expression via inhibiting the expression of phosphorylation ERK and p38 72
Formalin and carrageenan Rat Prevention of pain and edema via decreasing inflammation due to high binding to COX-2 73
LPS Microglia cells Prevention of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β and the expressions of iNOS and COX-2 via inhibiting the c-JNK and NF-kB 19
STZ Rat Prevention of DACD via modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptotic cascades 74
