The ileum and pancreas exhibit numerous morphological and functional changes in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. Glabridin, a major flavonoid of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), possesses multiple pharmacological activities. This study was carried out to clarify the role of glabridin on immunohistochemical and ultrastructural changes and associated oxidative stress in ileum and pancreas of ...

Several mycobacteriophages active against mycobacteria have been isolated by Takeya and Yoshimura (1957) using the soil-enrichment technique. Among these phages, B-1 was found to have the broadest host range including virulent strains of tubercle bacilli. In the present investigation the interactions between mycobacteriophage B-1 and its host strain Mycobacterium avium were examined under the l...

in this work firstly mgfe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a microwave-assisted method. the product was calcinated at 900 ºc for 2h. at the second step zinc oxide shell was synthesized on the ferrite under ultrasonic waves. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. vibr...

The conventional assessment of human semen, especially sperm movement characteristics, is a highly subjective assessment, with considerable intra- and inter-technician variability. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) systems provide a rapid and automated assessment of the parameters of sperm motion, together with improved standardization and quality control. However, it should be noted that...
