objective(s):parkinson's disease (pd) is known for motor impairments. but often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in pd. to further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) in a rat model of pd induced by ...

patients and methods in a quasi-experiment trial, 40 type 2 diabetic patients were asked to consume 50 g of cpj daily for 4 weeks. anthropometric indices, dietary intake, blood pressure measurements, and fasting blood samples were conducted at baseline and 4 weeks after the intervention. results the intake of cpj produced a significant increase in both total and high-density lipoprotein cholest...

background and objective: parkinson's disease (pd) is a movement disorder with debilitating symptoms. available treatments for pd mainly include its symptomatic relief with no prevention of its progression. due to the iron-chelating and antioxidant effect of phytic acid (pa), this study was conducted to assess its protective effect in 6-hydroxydopamine-induced model of pd in rat. materials and ...

activated charcol phase loaded with 2-propylpiperidine-1-carbodithioate (ppcd) were synthesized based on chemical binding and physical adsorption approaches. the stability of a chemically modified ppcd especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid which was then used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of activated charcol immobilized ppcd. the application of this activ...

in this study, precipitated calcium carbonate (pcc) was modified using cationic starch, and its effect on optical and physical properties of paper was examined in comparison with unmodified filler afterwards. to determine the filler retention in paper, both modified and unmodified fillers were added to pulp suspensions by 20, 30, and 40 percentages. for comparing the utilization effect of modif...

introduction during the process photodynamic therapy (pdt), bleaching of photosensitizer induced by irradiation and generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) can provide some information concerning the efficiency of treatment. since gold nanoparticles (gnps) have been highlighted as efficient drug delivery systems, in this study, by utilizing gnps conjugated with 5 aminolevulinic acid (5-ala-...

objectives: controversial findings exist regarding the association between neonate gender and umbilical cord blood lipid levels. this study aims to compare the levels of lipids and lipoprotein b-100 in the umbilical cord blood of male and female newborns and assess the impact of these factors on neonatal anthropometric measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 75 health...
