introduction: cryptorchidism has been proved to cause apoptosis in germ cells in respond to changes in the stimulation levels of specific physiological events. the purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment of bilateral cryptorchidism was associated with alterations in testicular gene expression. methods: to induce bilateral cryptorchid model, immature mice were anesthetized and a...

introduction: although the initial hypothesis for the action of doxepin was based on the inhibition of the reuptake of neurotransmitters, it has been suggested that it may also involve other mechanisms. therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of doxepin on spatial memory, tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnf-α) level, expression of pro-apoptotic (bad and bax) and anti-apoptotic (bcl-2)...

conclusions in general, it seems that three-month exercise training was effective in reducing cardiac mitochondrial pro-apoptotic protein. however, considering the results of the bcl2 gene expression, more researches are needed to identify effects of exercise trainings on indices of myocardial apoptosis. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the effect of exercise training on bcl-2 and...

introduction: preliminary studies have con.rmed reduction in cell death following treatment with antioxidants. according to this .nding we study the relationship between consumption of coq10 and expression of bax and bcl2 in hippocampus following ischemia/reperfusion as proteins involved in cell programmed death or apoptosis. methods: we studied the protective role of coq10 against ischemia-rep...

  Background and Objectives: Giant cell Tumor of bone (GCT) is often regarded as a benign tumor, but its clinical course is unpredictable, has a high rate of recurrence, and even can metastases and transform to a malignant tumor. Histological features of the tumor often could not predict its future biologic behavior, so it is just called ''Giant cell tumor'' without indicating maligna...

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of probable immune-based etiology. The pathogenesis of LP is unclear, but apoptotic changes in epidermal (epithelial) cells have been reported. Destruction of the basal cell layer is observed and many changes in cell proliferation, cell repair and cell death occur in the injured mucosal epithelium. The aim of this study was to evaluate and co...
