چکیده
Icariin is recognized as the major bioactive component of Herba Epimedii. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-fatigue properties of icariin using a weight-loaded forced swimming test. The mice were randomly divided into four groups, a control group and three icariin treatment groups. The icariin treated groups received different doses of icariin per os (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of body weight/per day) for 4 weeks, while the control group received equal amount of distilled water. After 4 weeks, exhaustive swimming times and some biochemical parameters related to fatigue were measured. The data showed that icariin could prolong exhaustive swimming times of mice, which was accompanied by increases in blood glucose, hemoglobin and glycogen levels, and decreases in blood lactic acid (BLA) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Overall, these results suggest that icariin possesses anti-fatigue properties.

متن کاملReducing central line-associated bloodstream infections in the blood and marrow transplantation population: a review of the literature.
Healthcare-associated infections are a significant cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Most healthcare-associated bloodstream infections are related to the presence of central venous catheters and are called central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). A review of the literature showed a decrease in CLABSIs in intensive care units (ICUs) since the implementation of guidelines...

متن کاملA revised method of sexing the human innominate using Phenice's nonmetric traits and statistical methods.
The traits of the pubis described by Phenice (Am J Phys Anthropol 30 (1969) 297-302) have been used extensively by physical anthropologist for sex estimation. This study investigates all three of Phenice's characteristics in an approach similar to Walker's (Am J Phys Anthropol 136 (2008) 39-50) study using observations from the cranium and mandible. The ventral arc, the subpubic contour, and th...
متن کاملAction spectrum for cytotoxicity in the UVA- and UVB-wavelength region in cultured lens epithelial cells.
PURPOSE This study was done to quantitate the biologic effects of different wavelengths of radiation in the UVA- and UVB-wavelength region on cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells. METHODS An action spectrum for UV-induced cytotoxicity as measured by colony-forming ability was determined using six different monochromatic wavelengths from 297 to 405 nm in rabbit lens epithelial cell line N/N10...
