The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes by Posa, Aniko

“…After 24 h of the administrations, inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme as well as heme oxygenase (HO) activity were measured in both plasma and cardiac tissue, along with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). We found that OPA caused a significant elevation in the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-, increased MPO activity and decreased HO enzyme activity in the plasma. …”
