(1) Background: Ischemia reperfusion (IR) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and results in predisposition to chronic disease. We demonstrated that delayed contralateral nephrectomy (Nx) greatly improved function IR-injured decelerated fibrosis progression. Our aim was identify microRNAs (miRNA/miR) involved this process. (2) Methods: NMRI mice were subjected 30 min renal IR one ...

In the present study, the effects of pregnant NMRI mice restraint stress on the responsibility of their children to the behavioral properties of morphine, sulpiride and dextromethorphan were investigated in the F2 generation. Twenty four pregnant NMRI female mice (W: 25 g) were divided into the experimental and control groups (n = 12/group). Animals in the experimental group were kept in the r...

We investigate the stability of differentially rotating proto-neutron stars (PNSs) with a toroidal magnetic field. Stability criteria for nonaxisymmetric MHD instabilities are derived using a local linear analysis. PNSs are expected to have much stronger radial shear in the rotation velocity compared to normal stars. We find that nonaxisymmetric magnetorotational instability (NMRI) with a large...

in order to do in vitro fertilization (ivf), 435 oocytes were collected from 20 super ovulated nmri female mice, in m2 media with 4% bsa. 85% (n=370) of collected oocytes were in mii phase. epididymal sperms were added to 332 oocytes in t6 media drops with 4% bsa and incubated. fertilization rate was 79.8% (n=265) out of which 27.5% (n=73) grew to morula and 20.8% (n=55) achieved blastocyst sta...

objective(s):  this study was undertaken to investigate the protective effects of vitamin b6, cofactor for cystathionine-γ lyase and cystathionine-β synthase (producers of h2s), alone and in combination with l-cysteine, h2s precursor, on indomethacin-, and ethanol-induced gastric lesions in male nmri mice. materials and methods: fasted male nmri mice were randomly assigned into 12 groups (7 in ...

This article had several objectives. First it aimed at investigating the anxiogenic-like behaviors elicited by unavoidable cat exposure and/or cat odor across nine strains of mice (BALB/c, C57BL/6, C3H, CBA, DBA/2, NMRI, NZB, SJL, Swiss) in a modified version of the free-exploration test. The second objective was to investigate possible neurochemical changes following cat exposure in Swiss mice...

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...
