[ 1 ] - Effects of IMOD™ on angiogenesis, miR-503 and CDC25 expression levels in heart tissue of diabetic male rats

Objective: Diabetes is associated with vascular complications and impaired angiogenesis. Since angiogenesis plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis in ischemic heart diseases, in this study, the effect of IMOD™ on miR-503 and CDC25 expression level which are altered in impaired angiogenesis were investigated in heart tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Forty male Wistar rats (2...

[ 2 ] - The Effects of Rosa canina Fruit Hydro alcoholic Extract on Oxidative Stress, Total Antioxidant Capacity and Haematological Parameters in Diabetic Mice

Abstract Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder with adverse effects on haematological parameters level, oxidative stress and antioxidant defence system. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rosa canina (RC) fruit hydro alcoholic extract on oxidative stress, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and haematological parameters in diabetic mice. <st...

[ 3 ] - Sleep deprivation disrupts striatal anti-apoptotic responses in 6-hydroxy dopamine-lesioned parkinsonian rats

Objective(s): The present study was conducted to examine the effect of sleep deprivation (SD) on the anti-apoptotic pathways in Parkinsonian rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 40) were assigned to four groups (10 animals each): sham surgery (Sham), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned (OH), 6-OHDA-lesioned plus grid control (OH+GC), 6-OHDA-lesioned plus SD (OH+SD). Parkinson’s di...

[ 4 ] - Investigation of Chitinase3like-1 (Chiti3L1) Gene Polymorphism (rs4950928) with Susceptibility to Allergic Asthma in Iranian Northwestern Azeri Population

Background: In addition to cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of asthma, mounting evidences demonstrate that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in asthma relevant genes have a role in conferring susceptibility to the disease. CHI3L1 is secreted from macrophages, neutrophils, and airway epithelial cells through an IL-13 related mechanism and contributes to tissue ...
