rate of in vitro maturation of oocytes is one of the challenges of assisted reproductive techniques. in this study we investigated the effects of supplementation of cysteamine on the rate of in vitro maturation of oocytes in two different media. germinal vesicle oocytes were collected from mouse ovary and cultured in two media (tcm199 and meme) with 0, 50, 100, 200, 500 µm/ml cysteamine. number...

introduction: spreading depression (sd) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex. it has been shown that the dopaminergic system plays a role in migraine. sd has been suggested as a critical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of migraine. the aim of this study was to investi...

background: endometrial secretion analysis is a non-invasive and promising method in evaluation of endometrial receptivity. objective: the aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between the success rate of ivf procedures and some endometrial secretion cytokines, including interleukin-1β (il-1β), tumor necrosis factor (tnf-α), interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (ip-10), and mon...

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the in vivo (analgesic, antidiarrheal, neurological, and cytotoxic) and in vitro (antioxidant, antimicrobial, thrombolytic and anthelmintic) activity of different fractions of methanolic extract of Momordica charantia. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant property ...

callus and suspension cultures of lavandula angustifolia mill. (lamiaceae) were established and the effect of different culture media on growth rate was investigated. terpenoids added to suspension culture to investigate their biotrans-formation. all samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) and gc-mass spectroscopy (ms). octan-1-ol, citronellol, linalool, borneol and geraniol were biotr...
