noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...

the purpose of this study was to examine the acute and sub-acute effects of diazinon onhistopathological parameters of liver tissue and blood level of hepatic enzymes of male commonfrog (rana ridibunda). frogs were assigned to 9 groups (n=8, meaning 8 frogs in each group):control and treatment groups with 30, 60, 90 and 120 μg/l diazinon in water for one day or oneweek. hepatic enzymes containi...

background: there is much evidence indicating that natural substances from edible and medicinal plants possess powerful antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities. the objective of the present study was to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effect of silymarin in fish exposed to malathion. methods: zebra cichlid fish were allocated into five groups of which one group received normal fe...

conclusions the results suggest that physical activity improves metabolic parameters, which interfere in the development of fatty liver and has a protective role against the development of nafld. results statistical analysis demonstrated that the training group had significant changes in weight, bmi, tc, tg, ldl, vldl, hdl/ldl, tc/ hdl, ast and alt, whereas there was no significant change in hd...

antidiabetic action of garlic is established in animal studies. since all of the pervious studies have focused on the therapeutic role of garlic, this study investigated the preventive effect of garlic juice on biochemical factors and histological features in streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rats. forty male rats were divided into five groups (n = 8): 1-normal group (n), 2-normal+garlic gr...

background: the early stage of copper poisoning is difficult to be clinically diagnosed in sheep and has not been documented clearly yet. objectives: to assess biomarkers in predicting early copper poisoning in sheep, blood samples were collected from several groups of animals from a naturally copper poisoning occurrence in an industrial region. methods: animals were divided into four experimen...

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute and sub-acute effects of diazinon onhistopathological parameters of liver tissue and blood level of hepatic enzymes of male commonfrog (Rana ridibunda). Frogs were assigned to 9 groups (n=8, meaning 8 frogs in each group):control and treatment groups with 30, 60, 90 and 120 μg/L diazinon in water for one day or oneweek. Hepatic enzymes containi...

background: there is no convenient cheap pragmatic experimental model for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash). we aimed to create a pragmatic model of nafld/nash. methods: sprague-dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high sugar homemade diet ad libitum for seven weeks. the high-fat, high sugar diet included 59% of energy derived from fat, 30% from carbohydra...

Objective(s): This research aimed to test the impact of liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) insult on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, functional enzymes, histological, and hemodynamic parameters of heart, as well as protective function of crocin on these variables in rats.    Materials and Methods: Thirty two rats were randomly assigned into 4 experimental groups (8 rats in each). I: sham-oper...
