background and objective: lowering serum glucose and lipid levels in diabetic patients by using natural materials is of great importance. in this study, the effect of oral consumption of fumaria parviflora lamwas was assessed on serum glucose and lipid levels in streptozocin diabetic rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 32 male wistar rats were divided into four groups of co...

This study aimed to utilize whey protein nanoparticles (WPNPs) and zinc (Zn) loaded WPNPs protect against carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced testicular damage in rats. Zn was on at three levels release determined different time intervals. Seventy male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups treated orally for weeks as follows: the control group, CCl -treated group (0.5 ml/100 g b.w) twice a w...

The duality properties of Peti Nets (PN) are exploiled in order to apply an algorithmfor the calculation of colored S-invaiants of Predicate Transition nets (Pr/T nets) to the calculation of the colored T-invariants.

due to the range of its constituents, colostrum has been considered as a supplement for various diverse purposes. this study was conducted to examine the effect of supplementary bovine colostrum on serum malondialdehyde (mda), antioxidant activity (aoa) and glucose in a diabetic rodent model. sixty male wistar rats were divided into 10 groups of six rats each for 40 days as follows: non-diabeti...

chronic ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress in the heart and erythrocytes of rats. as ziziphus jujuba fruit has been shown to have potent antioxidants, such as flavonoids, we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of aqueous fruit extracts from z. jujuba on rat hearts and erythrocytes following chronic ethanol consumption. twenty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into...

angiotensin ii is a major endocrine hormone that affects directly both vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. since vascular reactivity to angiotensin ii changes in more physiological and pathophysiological conditions, the present study was performed to investigate the effect of intraperitoneal administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and captopril (30 and 50 mg kg-1, on...

aim: oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. since water-solublefullerene derivatives act as the potent scavenger of oxygen free radicals in biological systems, we aimedto investigate the possible protective effects of fullerol nanoparticles on brain infarction and edema intransient model of focal cerebral ischemia in rat.materials & methods: experiment ...
