objective(s) oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis. rosmarinic acid, a plant phenolic compound, was first used as an antioxidant agent for inhibition of diabetic nephropathy. material and methods forty male rats were uninephrectomized from the left flank.the rats were divided in four groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, g...

background epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease with the prevalence of around one percent. despite the introductions of several anti-epileptic drugs, around 1/3 of epileptic patients are resistant to the anti-epileptic medications. objectives considering the evidence regarding the anti-oxidant action of vitamin e and its beneficiary effect in the treatment of epilepsy, we investigated the...

conclusions caffeic acid treatment reduced bacterial growth and resulted in a decreased number of colony formation. the simultaneous effect of caffeic acid and laser at three time courses showed a synergic effect in reducing colony formation compared to the control and caffeic acid, and laser alone. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of caffeic acid and low-power las...

the objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of spraying boric acid on vegetative and reproductive growth of ‘camarosa’ strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch.). the strawberry plants were sprayed with boric acid at 0 (control), 50 and 100 mg l-1 at 30 days after planting. in general, results indicated that spraying plants with boric acid had a significant effect on yield, frui...

Background Pre-conceptional supplementation with folic acid is recognized as essential for the prevention of neural tube defects. However, the reproductive effects of folic acid may extend well beyond this well-recognized effect and may have an important role in improving fertility and survival of the conceptus and fetus. MaterialsAndMethods We evaluated the association between pre-conceptional...

this experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012 at university of zabol. experimental treatments included phosphorus fertilizer at three levels of 0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1 as the first factor and foliar humic acid at four levels of 0, 750, 1500, 2250 g.1000 l water as the second factor. results showed phosphorus treatment had significant effect on ...

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which oxidative stress is a potential factor. Caffeine and caffeic acid are present in various foods and beverages with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of caffeine, caffeic acid, and caffeine+caffeic acid treatments on oxidative stress...
