    Glycine exerts renal antioxidant effects and restores hemodynamic alterations in Rats treated with Diclofenac Sodium: Roles of renal Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, Angiotensin II Receptor and Mineralocortocoid Receptor
    (Biomedical Communications Group, Ibadan, 2023) Akinrinde, A. S.; Ajibade, T. O.; Adetona, M. O.; Oyagbemi, A. A.; Adedapo, A. D. A.; Larbie, C.; Omobowale, T. O.; Ola-Davies, O. E.; Adedapo, A. A.; Saba, A. B.; Oguntibeju, O. O.; Yakubu, M. A.
    Diclofenac (DIC) is known to alter renal function in the form of hemodynamically-mediated acute renal failure. This study evaluated the protective role of the amino acid, glycine (Gly) on nephrotoxicity and acute hemodynamic alterations induced by DIC (9 mg/kg) in male Wistar rats. The rats were divided into four groups (n=7/group) including Group A (control); Group B (DIC-treated), Groups C (DIC + Gly1, 250 mg/kg) and Group D (DIC + Gly2 500 mg/kg). Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressures were significantly (p<0.05) reduced in rats treated with DIC alone, compared to control. Kidneys from DIC-treated rats showed altered histology with significantly (p<0.05) increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl contents, but decreased glutathione (GSH) glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. Immunohistochemistry revealed down-regulation of renal angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), but increased expressions of angiotensin type II receptor (AT2R) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in DIC-treated rats. However, pre-treatment with Gly reversed most of the aforementioned effects of DIC. The present results suggest that oral glycine protected kidney tissues and restored DIC-induced hemodynamic changes by modifying renal expression of the renin-angiotensin-mineralocortocoid pathway and/or renal oxidative stress.

    Recent advance in the pathology of pitutiary adenomas
    (Elsevier BV, 2015) Ayodeji, S.; Effiong, A.; Adefolarin, M.
    Introduction: Pituitary adenomas are the third most common intracranial tumours. The 2004 WHO classification of pituitary adenomas has recommended the use of immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy and molecular techniques along with clinical and morphological evaluation in making a diagnosis. This review examines the subtypes of pituitary adenomas seen using the different diagnostic techniques. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of literature as well as an online search of databases was made. Results: The classification and molecular properties of the different subclasses are highlighted in this review. Pituitary adenomas are among the most frequent intracranial tumours and can present with over-expression of the hormones normally produced by the pituitary gland or pressure symptoms from the tumour. Pituitary adenomas are clonal tumours and often show over-expression of tumour suppressor genes which can sometimes be familial. Molecular studies have shown expression of common genes that can be employed to group pituitary adenomas based on their histogenetic origin. These genetic properties can be helpful in delineating those tumours which do not show clear cut lineage. This is particularly useful in the assessment of silent and plurihormonal adenomas. Several subclasses exist and the presentation may be different depending on the particular hormone produced. The prolactinomas are the commonest type followed by the silent adenomas with Gonadotroph and TSH producing adenomas constituting the rare types. Conclusion. Pituitary carcinomas are rare tumours diagnosed only in the presence of metastatic deposits in other tissues.
