Uric acid levels in the blood can be lowered by taking anti-hyperuricemic drugs, but long-term use have serious effects on body. Therefore, we need medicines made from natural ingredients that a compound reduce uric with low effect. The purpose of this study was to determine effect hibiscus flower infusion levels. research method is experimental Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Mice were div...

many biological factors affect radiosensitivity. in this study, radiosensitivity among the different blood groups was investigated. peripheral blood sample of 95 healthy people were divided into two parts. one part was irradiated with 2 gy co-60 gamma rays and the second one was considered as control. then all the samples were studied by cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay (cbmn assay). our ...

Phospholipase A2 values increase in serum in various inflammatory states, infections, and postoperatively in surgical patients. Several organs, including the liver and spleen have been suggested as sources of circulating phospholipase A2. The purpose of the present work was to examine the possible role of the spleen as a source of elevated serum concentrations of phospholipase A2 after surgery....

Lazaroids are a group of 21-aminosteroids that lack steroid action but have a potent cytoprotective effect by inhibiting iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. However, there have been conflicting reports on the effectiveness and potency of the various lazaroid compounds. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of three major lazaroids on warm liver ischemia in dogs using a 2-hr hepatic vascul...

Platelet hyperaggregation in ischaemic stroke patients is a proven finding, and associated with increased expression of the platelet surface GPIIb/IIIa receptor. The polymorphism occurs at nucleotide position 1565 of the GPIIIa gene resulting a 33Leu-Pro change. Data are conflicting regarding the abnormal function of the PlA1/A2 receptor in stroke. The aim of the study was to address the differ...

background and aims: this research aimed to study a possible link between endometriosis and polymorphism of the progesterone receptor gene. materials and methods: the control group consisted of 86 women without endometriosis and the case group comprised 86 patients with a diagnosis of endometriosis by laparoscopy. genotypes for alu insertion polymorphisms (a1/a1, a1/a2 and a2/a2) were described...
