the myocardial effect of snake venoms is considered as one of the most common pathogenesis in many cases of snake envenomation. this study was under taken to investigate the effects of snake (naja naja oxiana) venom on cardiac function in experimental animals. the blood samples from all the rabbits were collected before venom injection and then 140 µg/kg venom of snake (naja naja oxiana) was in...

Previous studies demonstrated that thrombin is an important factor in brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. This study investigated the effect of thrombin on hydrocephalus development in a rat intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) model. There were three parts in this study. First, male Sprague-Dawley rats had an injection of 200 μL saline, autologous blood or heparinized blood, into the rig...

background: diabetes is a major public health problem. the development of new therapies that are able to improve glycemia management and even to cure diabetes is of great interest. in this study, protective effects of sodium tungstate against stz-induced beta-cell damages were investigated. methods: sixty rats were divided into six groups: control, diabetic, sodium tungstate treated diabetic ra...

conclusions garlic powder consumption can reduce blood pressure, yet in this model, it did not have an effect on the interaction between renin angiotensin system and nitric oxide inhibition. results at the beginning and at the end of experiments, systolic blood pressure was higher in the hypertensive groups than the normotensive group. however, at the end of the study, diastolic blood pressure ...

The role of dorsal root reflexes (DRRs) in acute cutaneous neurogenic inflammation induced by intradermal injection of capsaicin (CAP) was examined in anesthetized rats. Changes in cutaneous blood flow (flare) on the plantar surface of the foot were measured using a laser Doppler flowmeter, and neurogenic edema was examined by measurements of paw thickness. To implicate DRRs in neurogenic infla...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) is known to be effective in controlling blood loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, this method has some disadvantages, such as TXA leakage due to soft tissue release. Peri-articular injection provides an alternative to intra-articular administration of TXA. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of peri-articular inje...
