polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a reproductive and metabolic disorder in which thelevel of oxidative elements in blood rises. green tea is a potent antioxidant since it containscatechins. in this study, the effect of hydro-alcoholic green tea extract on pcos rats was examined.for pcos induction, 96 mature wistar rats were given estradiol valerate. after 60 days, therats were divided into fo...

Background: There are divergences in the literature regarding experimental model (Wistar-WIS or Wistar Kyoto-WKY) to be used as a Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) control. The characterization of these models terms cardiovascular parameters provides researchers with important tools at time selection and application scientific research. Objective: aim this study was evaluate use WIS WKY cont...

We investigated the effect of diabetic plasma on insulin-stimulated DNA synthesis in primary cultured aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) of the GK rat, a model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and compared it with that of Wistar normal rat plasma. We measured the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into cultured SMC. The diabetic plasma (3%) of GK rat, but neither the plasma (3%) of Wistar n...

(NTS) in Wistar rats (WR) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), our previous results suggested that sustained hypertension might aggravate the nephrotoxic processes or protract the course of glomerulonephritis. The present study was attemped to observe the more prolonged glomerular changes of nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) until 15 weeks after the injection of NTS in SHR, compared with contro...

Wistar rats were exposed to a 916 MHz, 10 W/m(2) mobile phone electromagnetic field for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Average completion times in an eight-arm radial maze were longer in the exposed rats than control rats after 4-5 weeks of exposure. Error rates in the exposed rats were greater than the control rats at 6 weeks. Hippocampal neurons from the exposed rats showed irregular firing pa...

In the present study, the effect of minocycline was studied against intracerebroventricular streptozotocin induced spatial memory deficit. Male wistar rats were injected with intracerebroventricular streptozotocin bilaterally. The rats were treated chronically with Minocycline (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, ip) for 17 days starting from day 1 of streptozotocin injection in separate groups. The spatial m...
