Different effects of perindopril and enalapril on monocyte cytokine release in coronary artery disease patients with normal blood pressure.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2012, Vol 64, Issue 6
Abstract
Favorable effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality and morbidity are not limited to patients with elevated blood pressure. As suggested by our previous results, the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic differences between drugs may markedly contribute to the strength of pleiotropic effects of ACE inhibitors.

Betulin, betulinic acid and butein are inhibitors of acetaldehyde-induced activation of liver stellate cells.
Liver fibrosis has been reported to be inhibited in vivo by oleanolic and ursolic acids; however, the activity of other triterpenes like betulin and betulinic acid has not been examined. Butein has also been reported to...
Noradrenaline release in rodent tissues is inhibited by interleukin-1β but is not affected by urotensin II, MCH, NPW and NPFF.
We studied whether noradrenaline release is affected by interleukin-1β and the neuropeptides urotensin II, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), neuropeptide W (NPW) and neuropeptide FF (NPFF). Rodent tissues preincubated...
Effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors on benzodiazepine withdrawal in mice and rats.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors on benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome in mice and rats. Diazepam withdrawal in mice was read out as intensification of the seizure...
Influence of zinc supplementation on imipramine effect in a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model in rats.
Zinc is an endogenous modulator of neuronal activity and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of depression. Recent studies have shown that zinc exhibits antidepressant-like activity in some models of depressio...
Anxiolytic effect of noscapine in mice.
The anxiety-related effects of noscapine were investigated using male Balb-c mice. Since noscapine-induced locomotion may alter the animals' activity level in the dark-light model, the anxiety-related effects of noscapin...
