background and objective: gentimicin is an antibiotic from the family of aminoglycosides used in the treatment of infections resulted from gram-negative bacteria, the use of which is limited due to its nephrotoxicity. in this study the histological effect of cinnamon on the nephrotoxicity resulted from gentimicin in rats is investigated because of the antioxidant properties of cinnamon.material...

background and purpose: gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity results from the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in the kidneys, and since cinnamon has antioxidant properties, this research studied the effects of cinnamon extract on the prevention and treatment of gentamicin-induced toxicity in immature white rats.materials and methodology: in this study 36 immature female wistar rats wer...

The effects of systemic insulin administration at different concentrations on the testicular tissue diabetic adult rats, induced by streptozotocin, are evaluated morphological analysis spermatogenic process. Twenty-four male rats were divided into 1) Control Group: they received citrate buffer, intraperitoneal injection; 2) Diabetic injection streptozotocin (60 mg. kg-1 body weight); 3) Insulin...

BACKGROUND The Nogo-66 antagonistic peptide (NEP1-40) is a potential candidate for therapeutic intervention of neuronal injury. However, delivery of the proteins across the blood-brain barrier is severely limited by its size and biochemical properties. The current study was designed to evaluate the transducible effects of the trans-activator of transcription (TAT) transduction system for NEP1-4...

UNLABELLED α-Synuclein is a soluble, cellular protein that in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy, forms pathological deposits of protein aggregates. Because misfolded α-synuclein has some characteristics that resemble those of prions, we investigated its potential to induce disease after intraperitoneal or intraglossal challenge inj...

PURPOSE To investigate the possible free radical-scavenging activity of an extract of Cineraria maritima on selenite-induced cataractous lenses in Wistar rat pups. METHODS In the present study, Wistar rat pups were divided into three experimental groups. On P10, Group I (control) rat pups received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.89% saline. Rats in groups II (selenite-challenged, untreated)...
