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 |
