[ 1 ] - The frequency of CCR5 promoter polymorphisms and CCR5 32 mutation in Iranian populations
Evidence showed that chemokines serve as pro-migratory factors for immune cells. CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5, as the main CC chemokines subfamily members, activate immune cells through binding to CC chemokine receptor 5 or CCR5. Macrophages, NK cells and T lymphocytes express CCR5 and thus, affected CCR5 expression or functions could be associated with altered immune responses. Deletion of 32 base pai...
[ 2 ] - Effects of Low-dose Morphine on Nitric Oxide Concentration and Angiogenesis in Two-kidney One Clip Hypertensive Rats
Objective(s) We investigated the effects of low-dose morphine on nitric oxide (NO) and angiogenesis in two-kidney one clip hypertensive (2K1C) rats. Materials and Methods Male rats were divided into two groups: sham-clip operated and 2K1C. Each group subdivided into saline and morphine (3 mg/kg i.p. 8 weeks) groups. Blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity (PRA), NO concentration an...
[ 3 ] - Evaluation of Relation between IL-4 and IFN-y Polymorphisms and Type 2 Diabetes
Objective(s) Although, type 2 diabetes is the most frequent type of diabetes, its main cause is yet to be clarified. Several environmental and genetic parameters are believed to be involved in diabetes. It has also been established that cytokines play key roles in pathogenesis of diabetes. Expression of cytokines is different from person to person and in different societies. Several studies sh...
[ 4 ] - مقایسه ی تاثیر درمانی ویتامین C و CoQ10 روی میزان کاهش سلول های آسیب دیده ی ناحیه ی CA1 هیپوکامپ موش سوری به دنبال ایسکمی-ریپرفیوژن
Background and purpose: Vitamin C and CoQ10 are known as two potentantioxidants. We studied the protective Role of CoQ10 and ascorbic acid against Ischemia-Reperfusion. Finally, we have compared the therapeutic effect of these two together. Materials and methods: 35 male balb-Cwere divided into seven subgroups. Includes five groups: intact, ischemicControl, sham Control and treatment groups wi...
