Objective: Epidemiologic studies and randomized clinical trials demonstrate that type 2 diabetes can be substantially avoided by making dietary lifestyle changes rather than relying heavily on medications. This study evaluates the ameliorating effect(s) of Telfairia occidentalis seed administration histology Hypothalamus testosterone level in normal Alloxan-induced Wistar rats.

Background: Drugs are the mainstay of clinical management epilepsy. Carbamazepine (CBZ) is commonly used for treating epilepsy and neuropathic pain. This drug has been reported to have toxic effects on hematological system due its induction oxidative stress. study aimed investigate protective vitamin C against thyroid toxicities caused by chronic use carbamazepine in male Wistar rats. Methods: ...

Cyclophosphamide is one of the chemotherapeutics for cancer, however this drug has severe side effects in multiple organs and a well-known mutagenic agent. In work protective activity antioxidant-rich Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pods leaves extracts against cyclophosphamide induced genotoxicity was studied. Safety these evaluated acute subacute toxicity tests at dose 1500 mg/kg/day albino rats...

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has received attention in environmental and toxicological research due to its widespread effects in biological systems. While several anti-oxidants have been used in ameliorating BPA-induced toxicities in experimental animals, there is the scarcity of research information on the use of Gallic acid (GA) in protecting against BPA-induced toxicity. This study investig...

Background and Objectives: Diabetes vascular complications are the principal cause of death in the world. Therefore, we investigated the effect of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) on the formation of atheromatous plaque formation and renal function in the atherosclerotic rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups (ten rats in each group): normal, ath...

objective(s) the effect of tamoxifen as a selective estrogen receptor modulator which is widely used for treatment of early and metastatic breast cancer was investigated on the folliculogenesis in rat's fetuses and neonates. materials and methods the pregnant rats assigned into test and control groups. control group received olive oil and treatment groups received either 17-β-estradiol (10...

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...

Insulin resistance syndrome, also referred to as the metabolic syndrome or syndrome X, refers to a constellation of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia), which are all cardiovascular risk factors. Insulin resistance can be induced by fructose-rich diet in rats. We investigated the effect of vanadyl sulfate (0.2 mg...
