| Abstract | Aim of study A bioactive ceramics has been reported to regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophage cells activated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of bioactive ceramics using liver injury model in mouse. Materials and Methods Mice were divided into three groups: Normal group, LPS group (LPS and no ceramics treatment), Ceramics group (LPS and ceramics treatment). Results LPS administration induced the increase of plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in mouse. The losses of cytoplasm of hepatocytes due to LPS caused the increase of AST and ALT in mouse plasma. In Ceramics group, however, the concentration of AST and ALT were much lower than LPS group until 6 weeks. And the losses of cytoplasm were rarely seen in Ceramics group. RT-PCR results showed that the decrease of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-6 was observed in Ceramics group. Moreover, TGF-β1 and VEGF expression was increased in Ceramics group. Conclusion Bioactive ceramics effectively protected endotoxin-induced liver injury by attenuation of inflammatory processes in mice. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
