Hesperidin-β-Cyclodextrin inclusion complexes: A novel approach for preventing and treating acute lung injury caused by seawater drowning by Jingjing Hou, Mengdi Zhang, Zheyi Han, Wanmei Wang, Haiying Qiu, Jingwei Yuan, Fang An, Yan Wu

“…The administration of Hep-β-CD via the pulmonary route has been found to be highly effective in preventing seawater drowning-induced ALI in mice, achieved through modulation of key inflammatory mediators and a reduction in oxidative stress. The study demonstrated that Hep-β-CD administration significantly decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of ALI. …”

<i>N</i>-Acetylcysteine Treatment Restores the Protective Effect of Heart Ischemic Postconditioning in a Murine Model in the Early Stages of Atherosclerosis by Tamara Zaobornyj, Virginia Perez, Georgina Ossani, Tamara Mazo, Eugenia Godoy, Jorge Godoy, Yohana Yanaje, Camila Musci-Ferrari, Mario Contin, Valeria Tripodi, Magali Barchuk, Gabriela Berg, Ricardo J. Gelpi, Martin Donato, Veronica D’Annunzio

“…The analysis indicates that animals subjected to I/R and IP protocols in conjunction with NAC show a tendency to reach basal values, thus suggesting a potential for the reduction in ROS. <b>Conclusions:</b> NAC treatment mitigates oxidative stress and restores the cardioprotective effect of ischemic postconditioning in a model of early-stage atherosclerosis. …”
