Objective(s):Leptin is a novel and interesting hormone for anyone trying to lose weight, but its effects on male gonad structure in longitudinal study is unknown. The present study was designed to explore morphometrical changes of mouse testicular tissue after long-term administration of leptin. Materials and Methods:Thirty healthy mature male mice were randomly assigned to either control (n=15...

The morphology of faecal microflora of nine healthy human volunteers was studied by digital image analysis of microscopic slides. Weekly specimens were collected during an 8-week period. Seven morphometrical parameters were derived: the means and medians of components 1, 2 and 3, and morphometrical entropy. Statistically significant differences among subjects were found for means of components ...

  In the present study three species of Compsobuthus are described from Khoozestan province in Southwestern Iran :Compsobuthus matthiesseni &Compsobuthus jakesi From Bushehr and Fars provinces in Southern Iran : Compsobuthus matthiesseni , Compsobuthus persicus & Compsobuthus jakesi . The samples collected by UV light during filed studies of RRLS collecting team in these parts of Iran.Morpholog...

The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. Twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. After dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. Finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the Sigma Statt software. T...

A traumatically ruptured spleen is regarded as a proper control in many histological and immunological studies on the human spleen. This paper compares spleens that ruptured due to trauma and spleens which were removed during surgery in patients without splenic pathology. Based on a histological, morphometrical, and immunohistochemical description of the control spleens it is shown that the tra...

sheep as an experimental animal has been used in many veterinary researches. the developmental study of the ovine cervicothoracic ganglion in the fetal stages will reveal the anatomy of the sympathetic nervous system in the adult sheep and morphological and morphometrical relation between this ganglion and surrounding structures. the aim of this research was to follow morphological and morphome...
