Background and Objective: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the probiotic yeasts that has positive effects on health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the important opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supernatant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on preventing the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its effect on exotoxin S gene expression by ...

Background: With respect to antioxidant effect of Prosopis farcta fruit extract and the role of antioxidant agents in diabetes improvement, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydro-alcoholic Prosopis farcta fruit extract on blood glucose and gene expression of pyruvate kinase (PK). Materials and Methods: Type 1 diabete was induced in male wistar rats (150-300 g) by inject...

Background and purpose: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurological disorders. In such stressful conditions, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) protects cells, thus its pharmacological induction can be protective. The disaccharide trehalose exhibits various beneficial effects, including antioxidative effect. However, its impact on HSP70 is not obvio...

Introduction: IFN-γ is one of the most important cytokines in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma and COPD. The IFN-γ promoter methylation at CpG islands could be altered by various chemical and toxic substances which may have a role in the incidence of chronic pulmonary diseases and its severity. Thereby, the present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulfur ...

Heat shock proteins of 70 kDa (HSP70) are a natural protector of the cell during heat stress through maintaining cell homeostasis and preventing proteins from denaturation, especially in stressed conditions. In addition, HSP70 widely influence growth and reproduction traits. The present study objected to identify polymorphisms in regions of promoter and part of exon 1 of HSP70 gene and their as...

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder with chemical, physiological and pathological changes in the liver. Due to the side effects of insulin, the use of herbal medicines such as Nigella sativa with flavonoid compounds and antioxidant properties is considered. In this study, the effect of magnetic hydroethanolic extract of Nigella sativa and MgO nanoparticles separately and simultaneously...

Background: Although some studies have studied the mechanism of action of beta cells in animal models and more or less in human populations, but so far the role of exercise therapy or exercise exercise HIIT with black grape supplementation on the expression of genes involved in pancreatic beta cells This study investigates the effect of black grape supplementation combined with intense intermit...
