[ 3 ] - بررسی اثرات سلولی نارنجین برپیشگیری از سمیت ژنتیکی ناشی از میفه پریستون بر روی لنفوسیت های خون محیطی انسان

Background and purpose: Mifepristone is an oral synthetic steroid with antiglucocorticoid and antiprogesterone activities. Therefore, it could be dangerous during pregnancy since it causes cytogenetic damage and, consequently, abortion. Flavonoid compounds such as naringin have antioxidant properties and eliminate various free radicals. Naringin is abundantly found in Iran, so, we investigated ...

[ 4 ] - بررسی پراکندگی پلی مورفیسم ژن TCF7L2 (rs7903146) در بیماران دیابتی نوع 2 در غرب مازندران ایران

مقدمه: دیابت نوع 2 یک گروه ناهمگن پیچیده ای از شرایط متابولیکی است که با افزایش سطح قند خون به علت اختلال در عملکرد انسولین و یا ترشح انسولین توصیف می شود. ژن TCF7L2 به عنوان یکی از ژنهای عمده مستعد ابتلا به دیابت در نظر گرفته شده است. پلی مورفیسم تک نوکلئوتیدی rs7903146  واقع در اینترون شماره 3 این ژن می باشد که به طور قابل توجهی با دیابت نوع 2 موثر است. مواد و روش‌ها: در این مطالعه ی مورد – ش...
