phenol is widely used in numerous non prescription products and the aim of present study was to investigate the dose- dependent effects of phenol on morphometrical and histometrical changes of kidney in an animal model. for this experiment, 60 adult female balb/c mice were weighed, and categorrzed as one control and three experimental groups of 15 individuals each. control group, received only ...

We devised a study using animal models of hyperthermia and hypothermia and also attempted to accurately assess the effects of Panax ginseng (PG) and Panax quinquefolius (PQ) on body temperature using these models. In addition, we investigated the effects of PG and PQ in our animal models in high and low temperature environments. The results of our experiments show that mice with normothermia, h...

The majority of laboratory animals were transported from commercial breeders to a research facility by ground transportation. During the transportation, many biological functions and systems can be affected by stress. In this experiment, the change of body weight during the transportation was measured and the recovery periods from the transportation stress established based on the body weight c...

From the day of birth to the time of death, nearly all of the body's nutritional requirements are met by absorption from the intestinal lumen. However, the morphology and function of this absorbing membrane are not constant ; they vary with age. The origin of such changes, and their relationship to all of the events that we associate with biologic aging, is as yet uncertain. Studies in this fie...

Objective: To review the literature and discover which antidepressants are responsible for weight gain and then to discuss the areas with lack of adequate knowledge. Method: An electronic search was conducted through Medline, Pubmed, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect. Forty nine empirical researches were identified and reviewed. Results: Amitriptyline, clomipramine, and mirtazapine have been ...

Aim. To investigate the effects of HS-1200 on liver tumorigenesis and liver function in a diethylnitrosamine- (DEN-) induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rat model. Methods. Rats were randomly assigned into five groups: control, HS-1200, HCC, HCC + low dose HS-1200, and HCC + high dose HS-1200 groups. Rat HCC model was established by intraperitoneal injection of DEN. And rats were given HS-12...

We construct a model of cyclical growth with agent-based features designed to study the network origins aggregate fluctuations from demand-side perspective. In our model, result variations in investment behaviour at firm level motivated by endogenously-generated changes ‘animal spirits’. addition being influenced their own economic conditions, firms pay attention performance first-degree neighb...
