background: cyclosporine a (csa) is a nephrotoxic immunosuppressive drug. antioxidants might attenuate its toxicity. in the present study, the effects of vitamin e and quercetin on the morphology of kidney in csa-treated rats were investigated.   methods: six groups of rats were used in this gavage feeding study either for 4 or 8 weeks. groups 1 and 2 received either olive oil or 25% ethanol in...

background: free radical formation and oxidative stress might play an important role in the pathogenesis of parkinson's disease (pd). in vitro data indicate that neuromelanin (nm) pigment is formed the excess cytosolic catecholamine that is not accumulated into synaptic vesicles via the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (vmat2). we designed this study to investigate the neuroprotective eff...

this investigation aimed to examine the protective function of vitamin e on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) treated with cadmium chloride. rat bone marrow mscs were extracted using flashing-out and cultured in dmem containing 10% fbs and 100 u/ml pen/strep. at the end of the third passage, cells were divided into 4 groups including control, cadmium chloride, cadmium chloride + vit...

Using of phytobiotics as fish feed additives have been interestingly increased during the recent decade. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of individual and combined level of thyme and vitamin E in common carp. Juveniles were separately fed by four distinct diets including control (commercial diet without any additive), supplemented with 1% ground Shirazi thyme, supplement...

The present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin E (VE) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. In this study, 360 d-old broilers (Arbor Acres Plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. Experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (C), corn-soybean basal di...

Background: Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by mobile phones and wireless communication systems has been reported to cause adverse effects on reproductive function, vision and hematological parameters, possibly through oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFW generated bybase transceiver station BTS on oxidative stress in testis, eye and erythrocyte, and th...

objective: type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated oxidative stress and decline in antioxidant defense. vitamin e supplementation reduces oxidative stress level in diabetic pa-tients. purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin e supplementation on glycemic control and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients. material and methods: in this study 31 type 2 diabetic patients ...
