the aim of this study is to investigate antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress biomarkers and the acute phase proteins levels for subclinical and clinical pregnancy toxemia and to determine the effect of early diagnosis on the success of curing. according to the results of clinical and biochemical parameters, from 39 ewes, 10 were healthy ewes (control group), 13 ewes had subclinical pregnancy t...

conclusions contrast-agent-induced nephropathic changes are more closely related to the magnitude of lipid peroxidation than protein oxidation. results compared with the control group, groups cin and n + cin had significantly higher urea and lhp levels (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively) and significantly lower cu, zn-sod activity and creatinine clearance (p < 0.05). there was no statistical...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative status and dna integrity in testes of wistar rat offspring exposed to omega-9 monounsaturated (mufa) at different times of late organogenesis. materials and methods:sixty female rats were divided into six groups of 10 animals. the first group served as control and received the drug vehicle, olive oil (1 ml/kg/day). the second, thi...

in order to investigate drought stress and plant density the yield, yield components and protein of spotted bean grain (cultivar talash), an experiment was carried out as split plots in randomized complete blocks with three replications in yasouj, in 2012. factors of the test including irrigation in three levels; without stress (control treatment), water stress in vegetative stage (interrupting...

several studies have shown that hepatocyte membrane composition changes in patients with cholestasis and cirrhosis. these alterations that are because of intracellular oxidative stress are supposed to be reflected in erythrocyte membrane. the aim of this study was to investigate the modification of erythrocyte membrane along with hexokinase and antioxidant enzymes during development of cirrhosi...

soils bacteria are frequently faced with various adverse environmental conditions and have developed a complex regulatory network to respond rapidly to environmental changes. in this study usefulness and applicability of stress proteins of bacteria which are produced after stress conditions were examined. the adaptation of soil bacteria involves the induction of stress proteins provide a nonspe...

background: phthalates are a group of multifunctional chemicals. diethyl phthalate (dep) is one of the most frequently used phthalates in solvents and fixatives for numerous industrial products. method: the present experiment was designed to assess oxidative stress, if any, caused by diethyl phthalate. for this the homogenates of liver and kidney were treated with different concentrations ( 10-...

the experiment was aimed at investigating the effects of defoliation (i. e. amanipulation of source size) at different times and with different intensities on yield, grain protein content and remobilization of dry matter from shoot to grain under various levels of soil moisture and nitrogen in winter wheat. two separate field experiments were conducted simultaneously under water stress vs irrig...

Drought is one of the most important factors limiting crop yields around the world. Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. This research was carried out using bread wheat genotypes. For evaluation of leaf protein pattern in wheat, 10 genotypes were assayed with 3 replications under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fed (stress) conditions....
