introduction: different vasoactive factors can modulate cardiovascular adaptation to hemorrhagic shock including nitric oxide (no). in this study we investigated the effect of  the no synthase inhibitor for treatment of  decompensated hemorrhagic shock in normotensive and hypertensive rats. methods: twenty‑four male wistar rats were divided into two groups: the normotensive and hypertensive gro...

background: a number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. nitric oxide (no) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes. objective: to investigate the no modulatory activity of the extracts of several medicinal plants native to iran including dracocephalum kotschyi, linum persicum, dionysia termeana, salvia mirzayanii, f...

background since nitric oxide (no) has an oxidant activity, lower levels following a varicocelectomy may result in better functioning sperm, improved semen quality and consequently higher fertility rates. however, this procedure should be examined in more detail. objectives accordingly, this study was performed to compare the before and after varicocelectomy levels of no in the seminal fluid of...

the mechanism by which lead may cause a perturbotion in the nevous system is through the nitric oxide synthase. in this study the effect of lead acetate on the hippocampal constitutive nitric oxide production was studied. the variation in the nitric oxide production may contribute to physiological lead neurotoxicity in vivo. different concentrations of lead acetate (10-9 to 10-6 m), wre added t...

nano-encapsulated iron oxide in zirconium oxide-coated mica pigments are thermally stable,innocuous to human health, non-combustible, and they do not conduct electricity. they could beapplied in several industries such as thermoplastics, cosmetics, food packaging, children toys, paints,automobiles coating, security purposes, and banknotes. nowadays, they are highly desirable inceramic decoratio...

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. met...

In this study, an efficient and facile technique for preparing graphene oxide in suspension and powder forms was presented based on a modification on Hummers' method followed by an additional ultrasonic process. The method involved the provision of graphene oxide from graphite by reaction of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid with stabilizing the medium complex. Furthermore, this study ev...

Computational studies have attracted the attention of researchers to understand the structural behavior of the molecules. These methods grade complex systems for novel properties with new predictions in areas of physics, chemistry and biology useful for conduct of experimental studies. Nanoparticles in present day technologies have become integral part in diverse areas of science mostly with me...

diabetes is characterized by a nitric oxide deficiency at the wound site. diabetes is a factor that influences all stages of wound healing. in animals with acute experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (stz), the early inflammatory responses after wounding is impaired, fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation is reduced as well as accumulation of reparative collagen and gain in wou...
