the present study aimed at evaluating the effect of aerobic exercise in carbon black particulates air pollution on tlr4 and tnf-α gene expression in male rats. 24 male wistar rats (mean body mass 279.29+26.97 gr) were randomly divided into 4 groups: a) control, b) aerobic exercise, c) pollution, d) exercise+pollution. a particulates injector and falounak chamber were used to expose the rats to ...

BACKGROUND Alzheimer disease is the main cause of dementia in middle-aged and elderly people. Considering the improving effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance, this study aimed to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on learning, memory, and apoptosis in an experimental model of Alzheimer's disease. METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats each weighing 250±50 gr...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a period of interval training and step taper on weight changes and endurance performance in male rats during puberty. in this experimental study, 40 male wistar rats (3 weeks old) were randomly divided into exercise and control groups. after 6 weeks of incremental interval training, exercise group was divided in to 3 groups of 3-week taper ...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a degenerative disease that has deleterious effects on male reproductive function, possibly through an increase in oxidative stress. Walnut is known as an antioxidant that may be effective on decreasing free radicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate walnut consumption effects on testis and prostate in diabetic Wistar male rats induced by STZ. Materials and...

objective: diabetic neuropathy leads to axonal transport abnormalities. however its mechanism and the beneficial effects of exercise on these abnormalities are not well documented. the present study aims to investigate kif1b mrna in spinal cord sensory neuron tissue of wistar male rats with diabetic neuropathy following endurance training. methods: we randomly assigned 12 male wistar rats into ...

Background: Aging in the male reproductive system can cause testicular degeneration. Nowadays, regenerative medicine is a developing domain. This study conducted to describe potential effects of dried bovine placenta supplementation on percentage abnormal spermatozoa, density seminiferous tubules luminal content and Leydig cells counts D-galactose-induced aging rats. Methods: A total 15 healthy...

In this study, we investigated the protective effects of angiotensin IV (Ang IV) on cognitive function in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar albino rats, were randomly divided into four groups; control (C), diabetes (Dia, 60 mg/kg, STZ, i.p.), Ang (5 µg/kg, s.c.) and Dia+Ang IV. The passive avoidance Morris water maze (MWM) tests used to evaluate learning memory performance...
