BACKGROUND Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mainly underlies the cellular oxidative stress and free radicals. Left atrium (LA) is the most important AF substrate. However, the effects of H2O2 on the action potential (AP) and ionic currents in LA myocytes have not been fully elucidated. METHODS The whole-c...

Objective(s):Hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications like nephropathy. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of Ensete superbum seeds (ESSE) on renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods:Glucose, HbA1c, total protein, albumin, renal function mar...

conclusions increment in the number of parity can lead to decrease antioxidant defense mechanisms in multiparous women and their newborns. so, control of oxidative stress is considered to be beneficial in multiparous women. background parturition has been associated with free radicals, itself linked with poor pregnancy outcome. objectives this study aimed to investigate the relationship between...

SUMMARY Diagnostic residual and partial residual plots are proposed to identify nonlinearity in covariates for generalized linear models. It is shown that these plots are complement each other in the detection of nonlinearity. In addition, a transformed additive model which allows the resulting residual and partial residual plots to be obtained through the standard least squares approach is pro...
