[ 1 ] - Evaluating Total Mercury and Methyl Mercury Contents in Canned Tuna Fish of the Persian Gulf

Due to hygienic risks of mercury residues in food and marine originated supplements, measuring total mercury and methyl mercury contents of canned tuna as a highly consumable marine food product is essential. In this study, 40 canned Tuna fish (from Persian Gulf) were collected in 2015 and then flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) and thermo gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry were...

[ 2 ] - An evaluation of some oxidative and enzymatic biomarkers in different stages of naturally occurring copper poisoning in sheep

BACKGROUND: The early stage of Copper poisoning is difficult to be clinically diagnosed in sheep and has not been documented clearly yet. OBJECTIVES: To assess biomarkers in predicting early Copper poisoning in sheep, blood samples were collected from several groups of animals from a naturally Copper poisoning occurrence in an industrial region. METHODS: Animals were divided into four experimen...

[ 4 ] - Evaluation of age effects on doxorubicin-induced toxicity in mesenchymal stem cells

Background: Doxorubicin, by aggregating in bone marrow, causes genotoxic effects, and thus reduces the repair ability of cells. The present study was conducted as an in vitro evaluation of age effects on the cytotoxicity induced by doxorubicin in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).    Methods: The MSCs of female BALB/c mice aged 1, 8, and 16 months were separated, characterized, and subse...

[ 6 ] - A Comparative Study of the Cytotoxic Effects and Oxidative Stress of Gossypol on Bovine Kidney and HeLa Cell Lines

Background:  Cotton seed is one of the main sources of protein in animal feeds, containing gossypol, which has been shown to have toxic effects. Results reported by various studies also indicate the anti-cancer effects of gossypol on various cell types. However, its toxic effects on human and animal cells have not been fully established. This study was planned to investigate, for the first time...
