Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Adrenomedullin on Acute Lung Injury Induced by Carrageenan in Mice by Talero Elena, Di Paola Rosanna, Mazzon Emanuela, Emanuela Esposito, Motilva Virginia, Cuzzocrea Salvatore

“…AM treatment attenuated the recruitment of leucocytes in the lung tissue and the generation and/or the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines as well as the expression of the intercellular cell adhesion molecules. Moreover, AM inhibited the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), thereby abating the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and prevented the oxidative and nitroxidative lung tissue injury, as shown by the reduction of nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde (MDA), and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) levels. …”

Gastric Cytoprotection as Basis of Gastrointestinal Mucosa Protection and Repair in Erosive Ulcerative Lesions of Various Aetiologies by K. V. Ivashkin, E. A. Izatullaev, V. R. Korneeva

“…SH-containing endogenous substances (L-cysteine, D,L-methionine, GSH) and exogenous molecules (methylmethionine-sulfonium chloride (MMSC), N-acetylcysteine) prevent damage due to the ability to absorb/neutralise free radicals released in xenobiotic-triggered cell damage, inhibit TNF-α expression, reduce the aspirin-induced leukocyte-endothelium adhesion and stimulate mucin release. In experiment, MMSC prevented the ethanol-induced GM damage, stimulated mucin release and its redistribution on the GM surface; in clinical trials, MMSC effectively facilitated remission in duodenal ulcer.Conclusion. …”
