[ 1 ] - بررسی فعالیت آنزیم مبدل آنژیوتانسین (ACE) در بیماران مبتلا به آترواسکلروز و افراد سالم

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is currently the leading cause of death among people around the world. The main cause of CAD is atherosclerosis or vascular arrest. In the etiology of this disease, various factors, including genetic factors, are involved. In this study, the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) as a risk factor was evaluated. Increasing ACE activity by enhancin...

[ 2 ] - Ameliorative effects of histidine on oxidative stress, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and renal histological alterations in streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetic rats

Objective(s): The present study sought to evaluate the beneficial effects of histidine (His) on oxidative stress, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), renal histological alterations and anti-oxidant enzymes gene expressions in type 2 diabetic rats.Materials and Methods: Streptozotocin/nicotinamide (STZ/NA) induced diabetic rats were used...

[ 3 ] - Effect of Troxerutin on Oxidative Stress Induced by Sciatic Nerve Ischemia-reperfusion Injury in Rats

Background:Troxerutin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and in this study, its antioxidant effect on the reduction of oxidative stress induced by ischemia-reperfusion sciatic nerve injury was investigated. Methods:In this study, 64 male rats were randomly divided into 8 groups as follows: 1- IR2: ischemia (3 hours) and reperfusion (2 days), 2- T...

[ 4 ] - A Brief Review of the Association between Genetic Polymorphisms of the Paraoxonase Family and Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is known as an inflammatory disease that can affect any vessel in the body. The occurrence of atherosclerosis in heart vessels is called coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Different genetic and environmental factors can cause cardiovascular diseases, such as age, weight, sex, and low high-de...

[ 5 ] - Investigating the protective effect of Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad essential oil and carvacrol on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes, glutathione, and total antioxidant capacity in the plasma of diabetic rats

Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the main causes of death and its treatment is one of the clinical priorities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Satureja khuzistanica essential oil (SKEO) and carvacrol on lipid peroxidation index (MDA), plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and also the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Materials and Methods: The study was experimental in natur...
