background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

Objective: This study aims to examine the role of a probiotic bacterium, Bacillus clausii, on oxidative stress in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) rat model. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups: Control group, LPS group (1.5 mg/kg, LPS), Probiotic+LPS which was given after administration clausii as for 21 days, Probiotic group. kidneys removed...

objectives we aimed to investigate whether there is renal injury and its relationship with oxidative stress after intraperitoneal injection of α-ama in mice experimental poisoning models. materials and methods there were 37 male balb/c laboratory mice treated with α-ama, according to the study groups: control group (n = 7); low dose (0.2 mg/kg) (n = 10); moderate dose (0.6 mg/kg) (n = 10), and ...

many studies indicate that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. oxidative stress can induce neuronal damages, modulate intracellular signaling and ultimately leads to neuronal death by apoptosis or necrosis. to review antioxidants preventive effects on oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases we accumulated data from international medical jou...

objective(s): exposing to stress may be associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ros). therefore, high level of oxidative stress may eventually give rise to accumulation of oxidative damage and development of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. it has been presented that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) supports neurons against various neurodegenerative conditio...

Inflammation caused by the excessive secretion of inflammatory mediators in abnormally activated macrophages promotes many diseases along with oxidative stress. Loganin, a major iridoid glycoside isolated from Cornus officinalis, has recently been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, whereas underlying mechanism not yet fully clarified. Therefore, aim present study is ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a neonatal intestinal disease associated with oxidative stress. The targets of peroxidation and the role innate epithelial antioxidant defense system are ill-defined. We hypothesized that stress in NEC correlates oxidized GSH redox potentials, lipid peroxidation, dysfunctional system. Methods: Intestinal samples from infants +/− were generated into enteroids i...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

background: the present study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effects of royal jelly (rj) on oxymetholone (oxm)-induced oxidative liver injuries in mice. methods: in total, 32 adult male nmri mice were divided into four groups of eight mice each. mice in groups 1 and 2 were orally administered 5 mg/kg/day oxm for 30 days. at the same time, mice in group 3 received rj at a...

conclusions with regard to the potent antioxidant properties of silymarin, the neuroprotective effects of this natural compound suggested in the current study may in part be mediated through inhibition of oxidative stress. results exposure to acr reduced cell viability in pc12 cells. pre-treatment of cells with silymarin (100 µm) significantly reduced acr-induced toxicity. in addition, administ...
