Introduction: The increasing use of electromagnetic field generators in our daily life in one hand and on contradictory reports on the effects of their waves on public health on the other hand encourages scientists to do more and more research work in this field. One of the most important topics is the study of gene defect due to microwave radiation. Materials and Met...

Currently, it has been suggested that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a well-known multipotent cells, could modify the biological process in leukemia cells. Therefore, we evaluated MSCs’ possible effects on apoptosis and proliferation of acute lymphoblastic (ALL) MOLT-4 Accordingly, were co-cultured with MSCs. Then, 24, 48, 72 hours after treatment, percentages cell was estimated using flo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects Harpagophytum procumbens (HP) extract on pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, apoptosis and antioxidant mechanisms in a rat colitis model induced by acetic acid. 40 Wistar albino rats were divided into five equal groups: (1) Control, (2) HP, (3) Colitis, (4) Colitis + (5) Sulfasalazine. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total capacity ...

objective(s): the beneficial and more potent role of exercise to prevent heart apoptosis in ovariectomized rats has been known. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of swimming training on cardiac expression of bcl-2, and mir-133 levels and glycogen changes in the myocyte. materials and methods: forty animals were separated into four groups as control, sham, ovariectomy (ovx) and ov...
