OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of the mode of delivery on the oxidant and antioxidant system in umbilical cord blood. METHODS We performed gas analysis of umbilical venous blood and umbilical arterial blood immediately after delivery in 38 women; eighteen women had a vaginal delivery while 20 women delivered via cesarean section at over 37 weeks gestation. We...

An experimental study of antioxidant parameters in rats after exposure to carbendazim was carried out the effect their pharmacological correction by an intragastric administration Saccharina latissima extract at a dose 250 mg/kg for 14 days. The under found reduce activity lipid peroxidation and promote neutralization hydrogen peroxide.

recently, application of sa has increased to improve plants resistance to stresses such as drought. hence, to investigate sa effects on morphophysiological characteristics of fennel(foeniculum vulgare mill.) under drought stress, a split plot experiment based on latin square design with three replications was carried out at research farm of shahid bahonar university of kerman in 2012. three lev...

One of the major abiotic stresses limiting the productivity and the geographical distribution of many important crops is low temperature. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule involved in several stress-resistance processes such as drought, salinity and heavy metal stresses in plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exogenous H2S...

Diabetic nephropathy is the single most common disorder leading to renal diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Nephrotic syndrome is often manifesting in progression of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate oxidant and antioxidant status in diabetic nephropathy patients. The blood samples were a...

1. Acid phosphatase, cathepsin and beta-glucuronidase are released from rat-liver lysosomes by irradiation in vitro. Enzyme release is detectable after a dose of 1krad and increases with dose up to 100krads. 2. Maximum radiation effects were observed when the lysosomes were kept for 20hr. at 4 degrees or 20 degrees after irradiation. 3. An atmosphere of nitrogen considerably decreases enzyme re...
