Effects of 2‐Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide(CEES) on Guinea Pig Brain Morphology

Possible Relaxant Effects of Thymoquinone on Guinea Pig Tracheal Chain

In the previous studies the relaxant, anti-cholinergic (functional antagonism) and anti-histaminic effects of Nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. To elucidate the main substance responsible for the relaxant effect of this plant, the effect of thymoquinone, one of the main constituent of Nigella sativa was examined in this study. The bronchodilatory effects of th...

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig

Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

Possible Mechanism(s) of the Relaxant Effects of Achillea wilhelmsii on Guinea-Pig Tracheal Chains

Achillea wilhelmsii have been used in folk remedies. The relaxant effects of the extractof A. wilhelmsii on tracheal chains of guinea pigs were examined. The relaxant effects offour cumulative concentrations of the extract, theophylline and saline were examined bytheir relaxant effects on precontracted tracheal chains of guinea pig by KCl (group 1), 10 μMmethacholine (group 2), incubated tissue...

Evaluation of Protective Effects of Nano-formulated Silymarin Against UV Radiation on Guinea Pig Skin

  Background: As increased outdoor activities of people, they are more exposed to UV radiation, which causes harmful effects on skin. Silymarin has protective potentials against DNA damage and non-melanoma skin cancers, and also it has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation characteristics. Nano formulation of plant material showed to be more effective than common ones.   Object...
