Induction of cyclo-oxygenase-2 by acute liver allograft rejection and cytomegalovirus infection in the rat

Effects of acute cytomegalovirus infection on rat islet allograft survival.

Transplantation of pancreatic islets is a promising therapy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, long-term islet graft survival rates are still unsatisfactory low. In this study we investigated the role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in islet allograft failure. STZ-diabetic rats received an allogenic islet graft in combination with either an acute CMV infection or control infectio...

The acute liver injury in rat caused by gold nanoparticles

Objective(s):   Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) command a great deal of attention for biomedical applications nowadays. The data about the degree of toxicity and the accumulation of gold nanoparticles in-vivo is not enough to judge.  Materials and Methods:  A total of 32 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 including: three GNP-treated and one control group. Groups 1, 2 and 3 receive...
