the concentrations of serum calcitonin', parathormone (pth), amylase, alkaline phosphatase (alkp), calcium and phosphorus were studied in pre-and post-dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. all patients had extremely elevated serum urea and creatinine concentrations with the mean values of143.8 and 10.5 mg/dl respectively. the plasma amylase activity was higher than normal with a me...

Coastal waters in northern part of Hormuz Strait receive large inputs of anthropogenic pollutants. This study was conducted to determine the effects of environmental contaminants on plasma enzymes, thyroid hormones and biochemical blood parameters of Periophthalmus argentilineatus to monitor marine pollution from northern part of Hormuz strait. For this purpose, a total of 90 specimens were col...

to date, the effects of nanoparticles on woody plants remain unaddressed. this study reveals some of the physiological and biochemical effects of sio2 nanoparticles on wild pear seedlings. the seedlings were irrigated with different concentrations of nano silica (0, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 mg/l) for 14 days. nanoparticle adsorption and absorption, biomass allocation, gas exchange, relative water ...

hemiscorpius lepturus is the most dangerous scorpion species, endemic in khuzestan province and other southwestern areas of iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. the efficacy of the antivenom for reversal of manifestation caused by venom of this scorpion is a controversial issue. in the present work, h. lepturus venom (1500 µg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into two ...

BACKGROUND: Animal breeds are often recognized through their specific characteristics, nevertheless, the breeds' anatomical and biochemical characteristics have not considered yet in many of the researches done on one-humped camels. There are some particular differences in camel breeds due to different climate conditions and rearing necessity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to com...

The Moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L., Lamiaceae) is an annual medicinal plant with beneficial nutritional sources that plays important roles in human and animal feed. Nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma increase biochemical compounds in plants. In this study, the effects of copper nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma on biochemical indices of the medicinal plant Draco...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated an association between shift work and cardiovascular disease. There is also considerable epidemiological evidence that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. AIMS To analyse plasma homocysteine levels in shift work bus drivers, and to investigate possible relations with sleep parameters and other biochemical ...
