Background and Objectives: The effect of endurance training on lipid profile and cardiovascular endurance in normal rat after Bunium Persicum Extract (BPE) administration has been previously investigated. In the present study, the effect of co-administration of endurance training and persicum extract on plasma lipid and lipoproteins in hypercholesterolemic male mice was examined. Materi...

[ 8 ] - ارزیابی مقادیر مس، مولیبدن و چربی های سرم در شاغلین واحد مولیبدن مجتمع مس سرچشمه کرمان

¯چکیده زمینه : مس و مولیبدن عناصر کمیاب و ضروری هستند که بر متابولیسم چربی ها تأثیر می گذارند. هدف : مطالعه به منظور ارزیابی سطح سرمی مس و مولیبدن و ارتباط آن با غلظت چربی های سرم در کارگران معدن مس سرچشمه کرمان انجام شد. مواد و روش ها : این مطالعه تحلیلی- مقطعی در سال 1380 بر روی سه گروه 40 نفری انجام شد. گروه مورد، کارگران واحد مولیبدن بودند که تماس زیادی با مس و مولیبدن داشتند. گروه شاهد او...

[ 9 ] - P 14: CSF NGF/IL-6 Ratio: a Useful Marker for the Evaluation of Progesterone Efficacy in Traumatic Brain Injury

Introduction: Following our previous studies on the neuroprotective effects of progesterone and cytokines such as IL-6 (IL-6) is involved in the inflammatory response, to examine whether changes in IL-6 and Nerve grows factor(NGF) concentrations in CSF can responsible for the neuroprotective effects of progesterone after traumatic brain injury(TBI). Materials and Methods: Female ovariectomized ...

[ 10 ] - P 19: The Effects of Aloe Vera Extract on Brain Edema and Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability after Traumatic Brain Injury

Introduction: Recent studies have reported that the Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) plant has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study evaluated the neuroprotective effects of different doses of Aloe vera extract after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in male rats.
