background: ‍‍cryopreservation has some detrimental impacts on sperms surface molecules. modification of the sperm surface molecules can affect on fertility rate. one of the important surface molecules are glycoconjugates. objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of content of the glycocalyx after standard cryopreservation procedure. materials and methods: forty five h...

conclusions in lighting conditions, most of t-res was isomerized to the other isomer cis-resveratrol. t-res is unstable in alkali ph and when exposed to light. t-res was quite stable at other conditions, and several freeze-thaw cycles did not have any effect on its stability. results our findings revealed that t-res was quite stable in different temperatures ranging from -70 °c to 25 °c, and ac...

background: malaria remains the world’s most devastating human parasitic infection. our goal was to assess the capacity of increasing concentrations of five antimalarial drugs (fansidartm, halfantm, quinine, coartemtm and chloroquine phosphate) to elicit the generation of methemoglobin in three human erythrocyte genotypes (hb aa, hb as and hb ss). materials and methods: spectrophotometric metho...

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...

A rapid and sensitive HPLC method was developed for determination of losartan in plasma. Losartan was extracted from plasma by a two-step extraction procedure using chloroform as extracting solvent in acidic medium. HPLC analysis was performed on a cyano reversed-phase column using phosphate buffer (pH 4.3), acetonitrile (750:250, v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. Sodium dicl...
