In this study, it was aimed to investigate the protective effect of Allium schoenoprasum L. plant against acrylamide toxicity. As animal material, 32 Wistar-Albino female rats were divided into 4 groups. The first group formed control group. second group, 25 mg/kg Acrylamide administered by gastric gavage every day for 15 days. third 200 ethanol extract given fourth + a result analysis, althoug...

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides in the United States. By December 2000, nearly all residential uses were voluntarily canceled, so that today, CPF is only used to control insect pests on a variety of crops. Periodic review of the potential effects of CPF on all developmental outcomes is necessary in the United States because the Food Quality Protect...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of opium on the number of peripheral blood cells and red blood cells (rbcs) indices in diabetic rats. materials and methods peripheral blood samples were collected from diabetic, opium-addicted, diabetic opium-addicted and normal male and female rats and hematological parameters were measured. results the mean number of whi...

European Train Control System (ETCS) is a signaling, control and train protection system that is replacing the national, incompatible safety systems within Europe. ETCS consists of the on-board subsystem (composed of ERTMS/ETCS on-board equipment, the on-board part of the GSM-R radio system and speci c transmission modules for existing national train control systems), and the track-side sub-sys...

Nonenveloped animal viruses must disrupt or perforate a cell membrane during entry. Recent work with reovirus has shown formation of size-selective pores in RBC membranes in concert with structural changes in capsid protein mu1. Here, we demonstrate that mu1 fragments released from reovirus particles are sufficient for pore formation. Both myristoylated N-terminal fragment mu1N and C-terminal f...

The erythrocyte-exchanged chimera mouse model has become to be a significant tool for studying animal and human (hu) protozoan haemoparasites, though the usefulness of this model varies depending primarily on the acceptability of xenogeneic red blood cells (RBC). To find a superior recipient in comparison with C.B-17/Jcl mouse with severe combined immuno-deficiency (scid) mutation, we examined ...

AIM To investigate RBC-NOS dependent NO signaling during in vivo RBC aging in health and disease. METHOD RBC from fifteen healthy volunteers (HC) and four patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were separated in seven subpopulations by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. RESULTS The proportion of old RBC was significantly higher in DM compared to HC. In both groups, in vivo aging ...
