The consensus often reported is that there is a modest but significant protective effect of breast-feeding on obesity risk. Numerous investigators have reported that ‘‘breast-feeding reduces childhood adiposity.’’ This article provides a brief review of the existing literature on breast-feeding and obesity, highlighting a number of factors that may have led to overstatement of positive effects....

in the present study, protective effect of teucrium polium l. (labiatae) extract on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity was investigated in mice. animals were divided into six groups, each group consist of 8 mice. group one as the negative control group received normal saline, while group two received only crude extract of t. polium l. (500 mg/kg) for five days and group three as the positive ...

Background In medicine, effect sizes (ESs) allow the effects of independent variables (including risk/protective factors or treatment interventions) on dependent variables (e.g., health outcomes) to be quantified. Given that many public health decisions and health care policies are based on ES estimates, it is important to assess how ESs are used in the biomedical literature and to investigate ...

aqueous (hydrophilic) and chloroform (lipophilic) extracts of nine medicinal plants currently used in traditional medicine, in egypt, to treat some gastrointestinal tract (git) disorders were tested for their gastro-protective effect against the incidence of peptic ulcer. indomethacin-induced ulcer in a rat model was used for this testing. mentha microphylla, brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage...

Oxidative stress is a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases, so the protection of neuronal cells from reactive oxygen species can be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Methanol extract of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger (Crassulaceae), a traditional oriental medical herb, was shown to have a protective effect on H2O2-induced apoptosis in GT1-1 mouse hypothalamic n...

PURPOSE These comments suggest a division of radiation protective agents on the grounds of their mechanism of action that increase the radio resistance of an organism. CONCLUSION Given below is the division of radiation protective agents on the basis of their mechanism of action into 3 groups: 1) Radiation protective agents, with the implementation of radiation protective action taking place ...

Results 10 primary studies were grouped in 4 groups (G1-4) based in criteria of concentration of CHX. G1 (10 primary studies with different concentrations of CHX) studies were homogeneous (Cochrane Q het p=0.35) and the common RR was significative (p<0.001 and CI=95%); G2 (5 primary studies CHX 0.12%) showed homogeneity (Cochrane Q het p=0.67) and the use of CHX represented protection (p<0.05);...

29 30 Paradoxical role of the 19S proteasomal regulator 3 ABSTRACT 31 Hallmarks of cancer, including rapid growth and aneuploidy, can result in non-32 oncogene addiction to the proteostasis network that can be exploited clinically. The 33 defining example is the exquisite sensitivity of multiple myeloma (MM) to 20S 34 proteasome inhibitors, such as carfilzomib. However, MM patients invariably a...

the protective effect of a l-type calcium channel blocker, nimodipine, on cell injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (ogd) in pc12 cells was investigated. pc12 cells were exposed to in-vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (30 minutes and 60 minutes respectively) in the presence or absence of nimodipine (10mm/l) in three different time schedules (pre-24h, pre-3h and concurrently). cellular vi...
