Simvastatin inhibits the increase in serum tau protein levels in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.
Our goal was to analyze the effects of treatment with a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (simvastatin, 40 mg/day) on serum S100BB and tau protein levels during the acute ischemic stroke...
Exendin-4 reduces glycemia by increasing liver glucokinase activity: an insulin independent effect.
Exendin-4 is a stable peptide agonist of GLP-1 receptor that exhibits insulinotropic actions. Some in vivo studies indicated insulin-independent glucoregulatory actions of exendin-4. That finding prompted us to evaluate...
Effect of fluoxetine on tolerance to the analgesic effect of morphine in mice with skin cancer.
Adjuvant drugs that attenuate or inhibit the development of tolerance to morphine may lead to improved management of pain in chronic diseases such as cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of fluoxetine,...
Hemostatic effects of simvastatin in subjects with impaired fasting glucose.
The aim of our study was to compare the effect of simvastatin on a range of hemostatic variables in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and isolated hypercholesterolemia. We enrolled 28 subjects with IFG, 25 pri...
Effects of diabetes and vascular occlusion on adenosine-induced relaxant response of rat common carotid artery.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate effect of adenosine on isolated rat common carotid artery (CA) submitted to occlusion in non-diabetic or diabetic animals, and to determine whether endothelium denudat...
