Introduction: Many of the diseases of adulthood are originated from the intrauterine conditions during fetal life. Because of the importance of thyroid hormones in growth and development of the fetus, the effects of maternal hypothyroidism on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood was investigated. Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into the fetal hypothyroidism (FH) and the control (C) group...
[ 2 ] - Association between tobacco smoke and serum nitric oxide metabolites concentration
Introduction: Cigarette smoking affects nitric oxide production. The aim of this study was to determine associations between tobacco smoke and serum nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) concentration. Methods: Serum NOx concentration was measured by the Griess method in 230 nonsmokers, 238 active, 196 passive and 29 waterpipe smokers.

[ 3 ] - Changes in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats
Introduction: Repeated hyperglycemia play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Endothelium is the organ of the first-line defense against atherosclerosis and nitric oxide has a major role in this task. The aim of this study was to determine changes in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats. Me...
