Studies have demonstrated that plant extracts possess various biological characteristics, including immunomodulatory activity. Heracleum persicum Desf. (Apiaceae), a medicinal plant native to Iran, was studied for its immunomodulatory activity. Immunomodulatory activity of different doses of an aqueous extract of H. persicum, was evaluated in female Swiss albino mice. Mice were treated with thr...

Introduction: The preventive antidiabetic effects of garlic juice on blood glucose levels and pancreas tissue was evaluated in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Methods: 40 male rats were divided into five groups of 8 rats each. 1) Normal group (N), 2) Normal+Garlic group (N+G) received 1 ml garlic juice/100g BW/day for 6 weeks, 3) Diabetic group (D) injected with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg BW,i.p.), 4)...

We have previously shown that insulin plays an important role in the nutrient-induced insulin resistance. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that chronic exposure to excess long-acting insulin (glargine) can cause typical type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in normal mice fed on a chow diet. C57BL/6 mice were treated with glargine once a day for 8 weeks, followed by evaluations of food intake,...

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect organik protein in feed on quality abdominal fat and internal organs broilers. material used 500 Levels P0 (0% protein); P1 (1.5% P2 (3.0% P3 (4.5% protein) P4 (6.0% protein). variables measured were weight broiler (heart, liver, gizzard, pancreas spleen). data analyzed by using ANOVA if it shoes significant different among treatment cont...

conclusions the administration of hydro-alcoholic leaf extract of c. colocynthis had a significant anti-hyperglycemic and anti hyperlipidemic effect and improved diabetic complications. in addition, citrullus c. leaf extract may have a protective effect on the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. results the results indicated that fasting blood sugar (fbs), triglycerides (tg), low-density lipoprotein ...

guinea fowls belong to the pheasant’s category. liver is the largest gland in the body, pancreas for digestive secretions and also spleen is of a importance as it is the largest lymphatic gland in adult mammals and poultry. as there are some differences in species and the two sex in these organs, and also there are not any research done on pheasant’s category like guinea fowl, these organs were...

The present report concerns several post-mortem variables examined in sand rats that were either maintained on a vegetal diet (control animals) or exposed first during a 20-day transition period to a mixed diet consisting of a fixed amount of a hypercaloric food and decreasing amounts of the vegetal food and then to a 30-day experimental period of exposure to the hypercaloric food. During the l...

background during laparoscopy, insufflation of an inert gas in the peritoneal cavity creates a working space to facilitate surgery. the space should be large enough to facilitate surgery without increasing intra-abdominal pressure (iap) over a threshold limit (usually 15 mm hg). objectives this experimental study was performed to evaluate the effects of increasing in intra-abdominal pressure on...

Aim of the research: The aim study to conduct histomorphological structural and cellular changes in tissues pancreas, adrenal gland, spleen, liver, kidney experimental alcoholic drug-induced pancreatitis. Materials methods. A model pancreatitis was created on white mongrel rats aged 2-3 months, weighing 25-30 g. animals were divided into 3 groups (control group No. 1, comparison 2 3). control (...
