Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of methanolic extract of Achillea millefolium L. (MEA) on the antiproliferative activity of bleomycin on human prostate cancer and normal skin cells. Materials and Methods: Human prostate cancer cell (DU-145) and human non-malignant fibroblast cell (HFFF2) were treated with MEA at various concentrations ( 20, 100, 500, 1000 and ...

the individual effects of cadmium concentrations (0, 0.005, 0.05and 0.5 mg. l-1) on the growth(cell number and chlorophyll content) and beta-carotene synthesis of two strains (iranian and australian) ofgreen algae d.salina have been studied for a duration of 36 days. the effects of these cadmiumconcentrations on the amount of cell magnesium and calcium have also been evaluated. an increase inca...

ferritin is a macromolecule and is responsible for the long term iron storage function in human serum and plasma. recent studies have highlighted the role of cell phone exposure on central nervous system, immune function and reproduction. the aim of this study was to investigate whether the human serum ferritin level could be interfered by the exposure to the 900 mhz gsm cell phones. fifty huma...
