In this experiment, the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from Ferula assa-foetida oleo-gum resin collected from two different sites of Yazd province (Tabas and Yazd) in the center of Iran, were identified. The gas chromatography mass-spectroscopy (GC/MS) data showed that the qualitative composition of the components appeared to be constant in two different regions. Moreover, ...

t has been shown that stress can induce hyperglycemia in several animal models of type II diabetes (1). Cori theorized a link between the physiologic stress response and development of hyperglycemia. In his experiments with rabbits, Cori demonstrated that continuous infusion of epinephrine exacerbated hyperglycemia (2). Van Loon continued these researches by infusing beta endorphins intracister...

BACKGROUND Northern Iran (Ardabil) is characterized by a high gastric cancer (GC) rate, whereas Southern Iran (Kerman and Yazd) has a low GC rate. The aim of this study is to verify the potential for pepsinogen I and II to detect atrophic gastritis (AG) in both high and low risk populations for GC. METHODS Sera of blood donors and patients with GC from Ardebil, Kerman and Yazd were used to me...

iabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine metabolic disorders. Dual endocrine deficits of impaired insulin action (insulin resistance) and inadequate insulin secretion create an environment of chronic hyperglycemia and general metabolic disorder (1). Development of novel medicine prototypes with systematic and intensive investigations of plants for new agents to treat diabetes mellit...

Gas turbines incur a loss of output power during hot seasons due to high ambient air temperatures, and input air cooling systems are often used to partly offset this problem. Here, results are reported for an investigation of the utilization of a heat pump to cool the inlet air of a gas turbine compressor. The analyses are carried out for two climates: the city of Yazd, Iran, which has a hot, a...
