Lenka Frnochová The effect of atorvastatin on the expression of markers of the cascade transforming growth factor beta in experimental atherogenesis. Diploma thesis Charles Univerzity in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Pharmacy Background: The aim of this diploma thesis was to observed the expression of ALK-1 and VEGF in atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE and LDL receptor- deficient mice with regard to the use of atorvastatin. Methods: We used for research female C57BL/6J mice with double deficiency of apolipoprotein E and LDL receptor. Mice were 8 weeks old. Mice were divided into two groups: atorvastatin and control group. Both groups were fed cholesterol diet for 8 weeks and in atorvastatin group was also fed with atorvastatin. Then biochemical analysis of blood was performed. For detection of lipids in atherosclerotic lesions we used histological staining by oil red. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed in 1cm aortic sinus and part of aortic arch. The method used to detect the expression of ALK-1 and VEGF was the avidin-biotin method with detection using DAB. Results: Biochemical analysis showed that atorvastatin reduced levels of total cholesterol. After the staining by oil red atherosclerotic lesions were seen in both groups. Atorvastatin reduced the size of atherosclerotic...

Sunitinib Effects on the Expression of ICAM-1 in Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats
Frnochová, Lenka ; Nachtigal, Petr (advisor) ; Němečková, Ivana (referee)
Mgr. Lenka Frnochová Sunitinib effects on the expression of ICAM-1 in normotensive and hypertensive rats Thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Pharmacy Background: We quantified the expression of ICAM-1 in aorta of normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats during use of sunitinib. For quantification we applied stereological and immunohistochemical methods. Methods: We used inbred male of Wistar Kyoto rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats for our research. Rats of both strains were divided into two groups - a sunitinib group and a control group. The experimental group was receiving drinking water with sunitinib of 10 mg/kg per day and rats in the control group was receiving only drinking water. Spontaneously hypertensive rats were receiving sunitinib for 8 weeks and after 5 days of regeneration they got sunitinib into the water back for another 8 weeks. Wistar Kyoto rats were receiving sunitinib in water for 8 weeks, but after 5 days of regeneration, these rats were receiving sunitinib only for 2 weeks due to toxicity and weight loss. Immunohistochemical analysis was applied in rat aorta. For detection of the ICAM-1 expression was used En Vision method with DAB detection. Results: Immunohistochemical staining showed that expression of...
