Testicular torsion may lead to serious ischemia, and the viability depends on the duration of torsion and the effect of ischemia-reperfusion. Testicular decompression and tunica vaginalis flap application technique were introduced in 2008 by Kutikov et al. We aimed to examine the impact of this method on the testicular microcirculation and hemorheological parameters in a rat model. Six adult ra...

This study investigated the toxic effects of dried pulverized Caloncoba echinata leaves on the hematology, blood biochemistry and vital organs of male albino rats.

Carcinogenic dose-response effects of CdCl2 in male Wistar [Crl:(WI)BR] rats were studied over a 2-year period. Groups of rats received a single s.c. injection of CdCl2 at doses of 0, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, or 40.0 mumol/kg in the dorsal thoracic midline. Other groups received either four separate s.c. doses of 5 mumol Cd/kg each (at 0, 48, 96, and 168 h), or low dose cadmium (5.0 mumol/kg,...

Male and female, normotensive Wistar:Kyoto rats, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and Stroke-prone SHR (SHR/SP) with severe hypertension were treated with a contraceptive drug (Enovid) from the time of weaning until they became 180 days old. Although the Envoid-treated SHR and SHR/SP had exacerbations of their high blood pressure, none of the animals developed renal or cerebral damage. Ch...
