Many studies have been conducted on maize to study the effect of drought yield at flowering stage, but understanding biochemical and photosynthetic response against seedling stage needs be well established. Thus, understand differential changes interaction parameters under drought, a greenhouse experiment with twelve genotypes severe (30% field capacity) irrigated (90-100% conditions were perfo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress can be described as a state brought on by an unfavorable rise in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), growth ROS production, or decline antioxidant defense. The study aimed to investigate impact non-surgical periodontal treatment clinical parameters and serum malondialdehyde MDA, total capacity TAOC, oxidant status TOS smokers non-smokers p...

Oxidative damage of biomolecules increases with age and is postulated to be a major causal factor of various physiological function disorders. Consequently, the concept of anti-age by antioxidants has been developed. Lycium barbarum fruits have been used as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and the data obtained in in vitro models have clearly established the antioxidant potency of the poly...

INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is a common problem affecting a significant population of the world. For the assessment of oxidative stress of an individual, total oxidation status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) are the significant biomarkers. Hence, we planned the present study to assess malondialde-hyde (MDA), TOS, TAOC levels, and oxidative stress index (OSI) in generalized aggressiv...

the aim followed in the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of individual vs. combined extracts of rosemary leaves and oak fruit to detect the possible interactions in their antioxidant activity following combination and in order to find a way to use oak fruit natural antioxidants as an available massive source in iran. towards this end, methanolic extracts of rosemary and oa...

BACKGROUND Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a high- density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated enzyme, displaying esterase and lactonase activity. The PON1 is involved in a variety of inflammatory diseases, metabolizing toxic oxidized lipids and detoxifying of organophosphorus insecticide compounds and nerve agents. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of methanolic date seed extr...

BACKGROUND We designed this study to clarify how varicocele can time-dependently affect sperm morphological parameters and DNA integrity. In this study, we intend to estimate the effect of various periods of varicocele on the in vitro fertilization (IVF) rate in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, left varicocele were induced as the test group (n=18) which was further sub-...

AIM Our goal was to investigate associations among scaling-stimulated changes in salivary antioxidants, oral-health-related behaviors and attitudes, and periodontal treatment outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty periodontitis patients with at least 6 pockets with pocket depths of >5 mm and more than 16 functional teeth were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into three groups: an ...

Ketosis is an important metabolic disease of high milk-producing cows. There are significant changes in many metabolite and hormonal concentrations in metabolic diseases. This study was carried out to assess the concentrations calcium (Ca), selenium (Se), total antioxidant (TAOC), insulin, free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) in cows with subclinical and clinical ketosis. This s...

This study was aimed to assess the protective effects of Cornus mas fruit extract (CMFE) and vitamin E (Vit E) on sperm quality parameters in the methotrexate (MTX)-treated mice. Forty-eight young adult male mice (8-12 weeks) were randomly divided into six groups including control and test groups. The control group received normal saline orally , and the test groups were treated MTX (20 mg kg(-...
