Diplazium polypodiodes, maximum locally called sarabat 1 and 2 respectively Stenochlaena palustris or red-fern fiddlehead extracts were evaluated on blood cells of ICR mice. Thirty-two (32) twelve-week-old mice divided into eight treatments with four per treatment along positive negative controls. Mice fed daily for weeks regular food, […]

background: in this study, we evaluated the protective effects of water hyacinth root powder (hrp) on arsenic-mediated toxic effects in mice. methods: swiss albino mice, used in this study, were divided into four different groups (for each group n=5). the control group was supplied with normal feed and water, arsenic group (as-group) was supplied with normal feed plus arsenic (sodium arsenite)-...

Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have received growing attention for several biomedical applications. Nanoparticles proposed for these applications possess the potential to interact with biological components such as the blood, cells/ tissues following their administration into the body. Hence we carried out in vivo investigations in Swiss Albino Mice to understand the interaction of ZnO nanorods...

in a preliminary experiment. the protective effects of ' peritoneal macrophages was shown by transferring macroph. ages fr-om adult mice to newborn and to 7 and 14 days old mice. it suckling mice from intraperitoneal infection with mcmv by reducing the mortality rate from 100% to 27%.was demontrated that such transplentatton protect

background: brain is the most important organ as it controls and co- ordinates all the activities of our body. reports on neuroethological investigations in mice particularly associated with learning and memory after radiation exposure are very scanty. hence, present investigation is an attempt to examine the effects of low dose tritiated water (hto) acute exposure on adult swiss albino mice in...

dendritic cells (dcs) play an important role in induction of cellular immune responses. it seems that dcs that reside in different organs may be distinct in their ability to  induce immune responses. this study was done to address the differences between spleen and liver dcs in induction of immune response and/or tolerance. cd11c+  dcs were separated from the liver and spleen of c57bl/6 mice an...

objective(s):resveratrol (res) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. however, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of res in apolipoprotein e (apo e)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. materials and methods: firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...
