[ 1 ] - Cerium oxide nanoparticle modulates hepatic damage, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in a dose-dependent manner: an in vivo study of rat liver

Objective (s): Cerium oxide nanoparticles nanoceria (CeNPs) is a novel nanoparticle that has great potential for the treatment of various diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CeNPs on oxidative stress biomarkers in the liver of male rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were equally distributed into 4 groups (n=6/each). The first group was controlled and ...

[ 2 ] - Protective effects of curcumin on diabetic nephropathy via attenuation of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) expression and alleviation of oxidative stress in rats with type 1 diabetes

Objective(s): One of the serious complications of Type1 diabetes (T1D) is diabetic nephropathy, which is accompanied with overexpression of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and enhanced oxidative stress. The present study was conducted to examine the protective effect of curcumin on the expression of KIM-1, NGAL genes and oxidative damage in...

[ 3 ] - EEffects of nano-curcumin and curcumin on the oxidant and antioxidant system of the liver mitochondria in aluminum phosphide-induced experimental toxicity

Objective(s): Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is commonly used pesticide which could cause poisoning mainly through the induction of oxidative stress. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of nano-curcumin and curcumin on the oxidant and antioxidant system in the liver mitochondria using AIP-induced toxicity model.Materials and Methods: In this study, 36 male albino Wistar rats were ra...

[ 4 ] - The effects of synthetic orally administrated insulin nanoparticles in comparison to injectable insulin on the renal function markers of type 1- diabetic rats

Objective(s): Injectable insulin is the most widely used therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes which has several disadvantages. The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of injectable insulin on diabetes mellitus-related complications in comparison to orally encapsulated insulin nanoparticles.Materials and Methods: This stu...

[ 5 ] - Evaluation of the Protective Effects of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Satureja avromanica Against Malathion-induced Oxidative Stress in the Liver: An Experimental Study

Background: Studies have shown that organophosphorus pesticides such as malathion induces oxidative stress injury and tissue damage.  Objectives: This research aimed to determine the effects of the hydroalcoholic extracts of Satureja avromanica (SA) on the liver function of malathion-poisoned animals. Methods: Twenty-eight rats were divided into four groups of the control, SA (20 mg/kg), mala...

[ 6 ] - Antioxidative Effects of Nano-curcumin on Liver Mi‌tochondria Function in Paraquat-induced Oxidative Stress

 Background: Paraquat (PQ), as the most widely used herbicide in agriculture, induces poisoning in humans and animals mainly through oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of nano-curcumin compared with curcumin against PQ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats were used in this study. They were separated into 6 groups...
