Background: The aim of this study was to introduce a new and economical method for reduction of nitrate content in canned apples and pears. Methods: The nitrate content was determined before and after treatment with CaHPO4 ranging from 0.01% to 0.1% using spectroscopic method in 2015 in Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center, Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran- Ir...

The aim of the present study is to understand the basic relationship between swimming exercise and natural course of epilepsy in animals by performing an electrophysiological study. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were submitted to daily swimming exercise program of three different durations. Animals were swim-exercised for 90 days with either 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes/day. Therea...

The chromosomal spread and karyotype of Bleak (Alburnus alburnus) from Anzali lagoon were identified using tissue squashing techniques with injection of 0.5ml/100g body weight of 0.01% Colchicines solution in fish fingerlings. Kidney and gill tissues were then extracted and chopped in KCl 0.045M for 20 min and fixed in Carnoy solution in 3 stages. The chromosomal spreads were stained in 20% Gim...

introduction: excessive olivo-cerebellar burst-firing occurs during harmaline-induced tremor. we hypothesized that antiglutamatergic agents would suppress harmaline tremor. from this point of view, the aim of current study was to investigate the effects of riluzole on harmaline-induced tremor in rat. material and methods: four groups of wistar rats weighing 80–100 g were injected with harmaline...

Multiple organ failure (MOF) is known to follow systemic inflammatory mediator activation associated with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. In particular, the pulmonary microvasculature appears to be susceptible to MOF-related injury. This study was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that non-cellular plasma factors associated with intestinal ischemia without reperfusion also mediate pul...

BACKGROUND Hypoxemia is common during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Atelectasis contributes to the problem. Biologically variable ventilation (BVV), using microprocessors to reinstitute physiologic variability to respiratory rate and tidal volume, has been shown to be advantageous over conventional monotonous control mode ventilation (CMV) in improving oxygenation during the period of lung reinfl...

This study examined the effect of (E)-2-methyl-6-(2-phenylethynyl)-pyridine (SIB-1893), a selective non-competitive metabotropic glutamate subtype 5 receptor (mGluR5) antagonist, on body temperature in freely moving Wistar rats. Temperature was monitored using programmed microchips, implanted subcutaneously in rats, at several times: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min after intraperi...

In this study, an abundant and eco-friendly photocatalytic material, Fe2O3 particles were synthesized by sonochemical method. Morphological microstructural investigations of undoped Ni, Co-doped performed. The effect particle morphology microstructure on its performance was further investigated. Comparative studies for evaluating crystallite sizes conducted Williamson-Hall (W-H) method modified...
