[ 1 ] - Biochemical evaluation of amniotic fluid during different stages of gestation in the goat

To study changes in concentrations of some biochemical factors of amniotic fluid, 115 normal goat uteri at different stages of pregnancy were collected from slaughterhouse. After expelling of each fetus accompanied by fetal membranes, 10 ml amniotic fluid was taken from amniotic sac for biochemical analysis. Then approximate ages of fetuses were calculated by using age estimation formula. At fi...

[ 2 ] - اثر عصاره Rosa Canina بر روی خصوصیات بافتی و فعالیت آنزیم های کبدی موش های صحرایی دیابتی

زمینه و هدف: در حال حاضر، با توجه به مشکلات تهیه و تزریق انسولین و داروهای پایین آورنده قند خون و همچنین با در نظر گرفتن عوارض جانبی داروهای صناعی توجه محققین به سوی استفاده از گیاهان دارویی جلب شده است. کبد یکی از اندام­هایی است که در دیابت شیرین از جنبه­ های مختلف، عملکرد آن تحت تاثیر قرار می­گیرد. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثر عصاره­ی اتانولی گیاه Rosa canina بر روی کاهش اثرات سوء و بهبود علائ...

[ 3 ] - تأثیر محافظتی عصاره ریشه تلخ‌بیان بر سمّیت کلیوی ناشی از تتراکلریدکربن در موش‌های صحرایی نر

زمینه و هدف: تتراکلریدکربن (CCl4) با تولید رادیکال‌های آزاد سبب بروز آسیب در کبد، کلیه‌ها، شش‌ها، بیضه‌ها، مغز و خون می‌‌شود. در این مطالعه اثر محافظتی عصاره ریشه تلخ‌بیان  (Sophorapachycarpa) بر سمّیت کلیوی ناشی از تتراکلریدکربن در موش‌های صحرایی نر بررسی گردید. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه تجربی، 36 سر موش صحرایی نر (محدوده وزنی 200-195 گرم) به‌طور تصادفی به 6 گروه 6 تایی شامل: گروه‌های پیش‌تیمار ...

[ 4 ] - Effect of ecstasy microinjection on spatial memory and it’s interaction with glutamatergic system in male rats

Introduction: Ecstasy is an amphetamine derivative, which its use has been consistently increasing over the past years. Ecstasy interacts with the glutamatergic system and it is known that glutamate receptors have a key role in learning and memory. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of ecstasy and glutamatergic system on learning and memory. Methods: Fifty-six male Wis...

[ 5 ] - Hypothyroidism effects on the morpho-histometrical features of testes in adult rats

Background: Up until now, the effect of thyroid hormones on the male reproductive organ, after puberty, is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, the morpho-histometrical effects of thyroid hormone deficiency on the adult-male rat reproductive organs were investigated. MATHODS: Thirty adult male rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=10): control, hypothyroid, and hypot...

[ 6 ] - Effect of troxerutin on apelin-13, apelin receptors (APJ), and ovarian histological changes in the offspring of high-fat diet fed rats

Objective(s): Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) consumption has been linked to metabolic disorders and reproductive dysfunctions in offspring. Troxerutin (TRO) has anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study examined the effects of TRO on apelin-13, its receptors mRNA and ovarian histological changes in the offspring of HFD fed rats. <...

[ 7 ] - The effects of Quercetin on memory and oxidative stress impairment due to Malathion poisoning in male Wistar rats

Malathion is one of the commonest type of organophosphate insecticide whose toxicity in human body is mainly considered to result from the induction of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of Quercetin, a flavonoid compound, on the spatial memory and oxidative stress parameters during Malathion poisoning in male Wistar rats. This study was performed ...
