Oxidative stress conditions enhance the production of reactive oxygen species resulting from a variety of stimuli, and are associated with various human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, and various cancers. Though such associations have been closely studied using animal models, there has been no in vivo system for monitoring oxidative stress. We have developed an o...

background: heat stress evaluation and timely notification, especially using meteorological data is an important issue attracted attention in recent years. therefore, this study aimed at answering the following research questions: 1) can enthalpy as a common environmental parameter reported by meteorological agencies be applied accurately for evaluation of thermal condition of outdoor settings,...

Sir, We found the recently published paper of Hoffman [1], to be alike to our work by focusing on the connection of elevated plasma homocysteine levels and the risk of developing diabetes or its complications. This correlation was first communicated by Looker et al. in 2003 and amended by Shukla et al. Later, in 2005, Cho et al. supported their findings. High homocysteine levels as a source of ...
