Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are widely used in the food and fertilizer industries. During our previous study, bean fertilized by two doses (20 40 ppm) of ZnO-NPs with a particle size 20 nm was investigated on rats. Therefore, this experiment designed to evaluate effect that were administrated orally rats once day at ppm. Hematological biochemical parameters quantified addition investigat...

The present study investigated the possible protective effects of Casearia esculenta root extract on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. STZ treatment (50 mg/kg, ip) caused a hyperglycemic state, that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin and albumin/gl...

Aim of the Study: The aim of this work is to study the hematologic effects of bilateral adrenalectomy in rats, especially on platelet function; and to relate the observed changes to the associated alterations in plasma biochemical parameters, also, to test the effects of replacement therapy by hydrocortisone. Materials and Methods: Rats were subjected to bilateral adrenalectomy (group I), sham-...

The object of present study to investigate the possible protective effect of methanolic extracts of Blumea eriantha DC leaves on various biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia in rats. STZ treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma ...

The specimens of Oreochromis niloticus were exposed to Malathion to determine the lethal concentration (LC50) value and effects of sub-lethal concentrations on haematological and biochemical parameters. The LC50 value was registered as 1.06 mg/l. Fishes exposed to sub-lethal concentrations (0.12, 0.23 and 0.46 mg/l) for 6 weeks revealed that the pesticide causes alterations in various blood par...

We study the shapes and biochemical characteristics of human red blood cells using a unified biochemical and continuum mechanical model. In particular, we model the crenated, echinocytic shapes and show how they may shift due to changes in the pH and various amphipaths affecting the osmotic pressure by also utilizing pressure as an independent variable. In contrast to earlier works which advoca...

dopaminergic signaling is one of the regulatory pathways being investigated for its implication in glucose metabolism. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of cabergoline on biochemical and anthropometric parameters in prediabetes stage (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance). in this double blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study, 27 prediabetic adults were random...

titanium salts are widely used in pharmacy and industry as intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints , paper , toothpaste , plastics and food dye s. this ion is a redox-active transition metal and may cause oxidative damages to lipids, proteins and dna molecules. in spite of abundant literature, questions about the side effects of titanium ions still remain to be answ...
