conclusions these findings suggest that apelin does not play any significant role in regulating the pain threshold in type 1 diabetes mellitus during exercise training. results plasma apelin level was higher (0.3 vs. 0.1, p < 0.0001) and the tail-flick latency was lower (2.2 vs. 3.8, p < 0.0001) in the d group than in the nd group. after the training program, plasma apelin levels decreased in t...

oxidative stress is one of the important causes of the type 1 diabetes induced changes in the sperm quality. bioflavonoids, rutin 10 mg/kg and naringin 10 mg/kg were evaluated for their protective effects on sperm parameters, oxidative stress, and histopathology of type 1 diabetic rats. results demonstrated the reduction in sperm count, sperm motility and vitality in diabetic rats. mass drug ad...
