ABRAMS, ROBERT, AND H. T. HAMMEL. Hypothalamic temperature in unanesthetized albino rats during feeding and sleeping. Am. J Physiol. 206(3) : 641-646. Ig64.-Stainless steel and polyethylene reentrant tubes were implanted permanently in the brain and abdominal cavity of male albino rats. Thermocouples were placed in the tubes and the leads were counterweighted over the rat cage. Temperatures wer...

PURPOSE Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of honeybee propolis, has a wide range of beneficial properties. The purpose of this study was to test the protective role of CAPE in 661W cells (in vitro) against H(2)O(2)-mediated cell death and in albino rats (in vivo) against various light conditions. METHODS The 661W cells were pretreated with CAPE and then stressed with H(...

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...

Glycyrrhiza glabra extract is gaining increasing acceptance as a folk remedy for treatment of wound. We studied the effect of its extract on wound tensile strength in albino rats. 20 male albino rats had a linear 3 cm incision made over skin of back. The animals were randomly divided into two experimental groups, as control and treatment. Animals of control group received topical cold cream onc...

Albinism is due to a lack of pigmentation in hair, skin and eye, and has been shown to occur in several animal species. Mutations of the tyrosinase (TYR) gene account for albinism in domestic cats, rabbits, cattle, mice and rats. In this study, we demonstrate that a TYR mutation accounts for albinism in the ferret (Mustela putorius furo). The coding sequence of the five exons of TYR was determi...

We aimed to evaluate the effects of black carrot extract on testicular carboxylesterase (Ces) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione S-transferases (GST) and reduced (GSH) in male rats exposed bisphenol A (BPA). Adult Wistar albino were divided into 4 groups as follows (n = 7/group): control, BPA, BPA+Black carrot. Testicular Ces, MDA, GST GSH analyzed by using a spectrophotometer system....

The present study was undertaken to the effect of apigenin and luteolin on physiological histological changes in rats treated with cytarabine drugs. Thirty-five albino healthy male adult equal age weighing 250 -300g were enrolled. Rats randomly divided into seven groups according treatment. Group “1” normal saline served as control group. Groups “2,3 4” received cytarabine, apigenin, respective...

Objective: Research in recent years focused on the role of apelin-APJ axis pathologic fibrosis. The includes parenchyma and mesenchymal cells most organs. Reduction parenchymal activation fibroblasts generally results fibrosis organ. In this study, aim was to reveal differences apelin tendons with primary repair.Methods: study used 15 male Wistar Albino rats. right left legs rats were used. Rat...
