The present study was conducted to find the effect of three heavy metals, Ag, Hg and Pb on the expression level of a gene encoding plasma membrane H+-ATPase in Aeluropus littoralis. The experiment was laid out in a completely random design with three replications. The expression of the main gene was normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene actin. Two 259 and 187 bp fragments were a...

background: exposure to arsenic is associated with impairment of male reproductive function by inducing oxidative stress. silymarin with an antioxidant property scavenges free radicals. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate if silymarin can prevent the adverse effects of sodium arsenite on ram sperm plasma membrane and acrosome integrity. materials and methods: ram epidydimal sper...

introduction: gold standard for alveolar cleft bone grafting is autogenous bone. advantage of adding the growth factors to the bone is established, so adding prf to the autogenous bone may have beneficial effects. methods:  platelet-rich plasma admixed with autogenous bone and as a biologic membrane over the bone grafted alveolar cleft was used. results:  autogenous bone in all (four cases) was...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of different concentrations of vitamin e (vit. e) in the quality of preserved stallion semen at 5ᵒc for a period of 48 h. semen was collected and most (≥90%) seminal plasma removed by centrifugation at 600 × g. pooled samples divided in four equal parts and diluted with extenders that was supplemented with different concentrations of vit. e...

cirrhosis is the consequence of chronic liver disease. deleterious effects of oxidative stress on hepatocytes may be reflected in the erythrocyte membrane. naltrexone (ntx) has been shown to attenuate hepatocellular injury in fibrotic animal models. the aim of this study was to investigate the progressive effect of ccl 4 on the liver and whether the improvement of liver cirrhosis can be monitor...
