Background & Objective: The potent antioxidant property of fullerene C60 nanoparticles and their derivatives has been demonstrated in a wide range of in vitro and in vivo studies. Hence, we examined the effects of fullerene C60 on the oxidative stress parameters at brain and liver of rats in normal situation. Materials & Methods: The study was performed in two groups of Wistar rats (each group...

This work aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of essential oils from Catha edulis Forsk collected in Day Forest Republic Djibouti. Additionally, vivo toxicity studies, biochemical profiling, and hematological tests were conducted determine biological activity investigated oils. Finally, vitro performed investigate antibacterial The obtained at yields 0.75%. Chromatographic analysis ident...

Background: Aging in the male reproductive system can cause testicular degeneration. Nowadays, regenerative medicine is a developing domain. This study conducted to describe potential effects of dried bovine placenta supplementation on percentage abnormal spermatozoa, density seminiferous tubules luminal content and Leydig cells counts D-galactose-induced aging rats. Methods: A total 15 healthy...

there was a statistically significant difference in the number of oocysts, developed in anopheles stephensi which had fed on mice infected with chloroquine resistant strains (ny 151./2b and. p.y. nigeriensis) and treated with 1 or 10 mg/kg chloroquine phosphate, when compared with the mosquitoes fed on saline injected control animals infected with the same lines. there was no significant differ...

in the present study, the effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug betamethasone (0.12, 0.24 mg/kg, i.p. acutely) on striatal glutamate level in parkinsonian rats was studied using the microdialysis technique. our results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in the level of striatal glutamate between treated and non-treated damaged rats.

In this investigation, diabetes was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 45 mg kg-1 of body weight. A group comprised of 8 diabetic rats was treated with metformin at 100 mg kg-1 of body weight for reducing the elevated blood glucose level. The results revealed that, in the untreated diabetic rats, the body and testicular weigh...

Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem and one of the five leading causes of death globally. In the present study, the effect of Metformin with natural honey was investigated on glycemia in the Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty Wistar male rats were randomly divided into six groups including C: non ‌diabetic rats received distilled water, C...

thyrotoxicosis is a condition in which tissues are stimulated by increased secretion of thyroid hormone. the most common cause is diffuse toxic goiter and toxic multi-nodular goiter. for more reviews on this disease, the effects of hyperthyroidism on liver enzyme levels were studied. a total of 30 adult male wistar rats weighing about 190 g were purchased from the pasteur institute of iran. in ...

background: diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats. methods: forty male alb...
