Description

Ergosterol is the primary sterol found in fungi, with antioxidative, anti-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory effects.

In Vivo

Ergosterol (25, 50 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly mitigates the reduced cardiac performance in rats induced by LPS, increases SOD activity and decreases the formation of MDA, CK-MB, and LDH in LPS-induced sepsis rats[1].

In Vivo:

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Rats[2]
Experimental myocardial injury in rats is performed by LPS injection (15 mg/kg). Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is used as a positive control. The experimental animals are randomly divided into five groups (n = 10) as follows: Control group, rats receive 2% gum acacia suspension orally at a dose of 2 mL/kg for 5 days, followed by normal saline injected intraperitoneally on day 5; LPS group, rats receive 2% gum acacia suspension at dose of 2 mL/kg for 5 days with LPS simultaneously injected intraperitoneally day 5; LPS+ Dex group, rats are treated with 2 mg/kg Dex suspension followed by LPS injection on day 5; LPS + Ergosterol (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg) groups, 25 or 50 mg/kg Ergosterol are given to rats orally for 5 consecutive days, and LPS is injected on day 5. Twelve hours after LPS treatment, blood samples are collected through the retro-orbital plexus. The serum specimens are centrifugated at 4, 000 × g for 15 min and stored at −80°C until needed. Thereafter, rats are anesthetized and sacrificed. Heart tissues are removed and homogenized in ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (50 mM, pH 7.4). Heart tissue homogenates from different groups are centrifuged at 12, 000 × g for 45 min at 4°C and the supernatants retained for further biochemical evaluations[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
