Journal ArticleDOI

The neuroprotective role of L-cysteine towards the effects of short-term exposure to lanthanum on the adult rat brain antioxidant status and the activities of acetylcholinesterase, (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase.

TL;DR: It is suggested that La short-term in vivo administration causes a statistically significant decrease in the rat brain TAS and an increase in AChE activity, which could be considered for future applications as a neuroprotective agent against chronic exposure to La.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-term exposure to nickel alters the adult rat brain antioxidant status and the activities of crucial membrane-bound enzymes: neuroprotection by L-cysteine.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Ni short-term in vivo administration causes a statistically significant decrease in the rat brain TAS and an increase in AChE activity and Cys could thus be considered (for future applications) as a potential neuroprotective agent against chronic exposure to Ni.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of adult-onset streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the rat brain antioxidant status and the activities of acetylcholinesterase, (Na(+),K (+))- and Mg(2+)-ATPase: modulation by L-cysteine.

TL;DR: The present data revealed a protective role for Cys towards the oxidative effect of diabetes on the adult rat brain and in vitro incubation with Cys partially reversed the diabetes-induced Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of endometriosis and breast cancer: mini review of the literature

TL;DR: The available published evidence is inconclusive and further studies are needed to evaluate the association of endometriosis and breast cancer and the possible pathogenetic pathways that relate the two disorders.
