In addition, the pleiotropic physiological effects of carnitine (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects) are particularly important for the protection against kidney diseases, especially drug-induced nephrotoxicity [259]
indeed, with respect to malaria protection, it has been theorized that protection conferred by G6PD deficiency may be related to increased phagocytosis of parasitized oxidatively-damaged G6PD-deficient RBCs (7779) via binding by macrophage Fc and lectin-like receptors (80), and that such parasites may be more susceptible to ROS (81)
investigated the potential of Duranta repens leaf methanolic extract to prevent cataracts induced by galactose and naphthalene
In contrast, the epithelial resistance, R ep , evaluated by transmural impedance analysis, was reduced in CD patients with active disease only (118)
