چکیده

been arranged so as to present their results in the context of a general review and presentation of the current status of each particular subject. For this reason, this book should be useful not only to the specialist, but also to those who are entering this field. The book first considers the nature and biochemistry of lymphocyte activating agents and then presents the current status of the knowledge of the interaction of mitogenic substances with lymphocytes, the specificity of mitogens, and the type of responses in which cells engage after mitogenic stimuli. Other topics deal with the role of macrophages in cellular interactions triggered by mitogens: suppression and soluble mediators. Also included is a paper on the importance of measuring mitogenic reactivity as a means of determining both the immune status in several diseases, and testing the effect of therapeutic treatments on immune competence. This book is recommended to those who wish to acquire a better understanding of mitogens and their potential value in biological research at either an introductory or sophisticated level. F.

Effect of Green Tea Extract on Doxorubicin Induced Cardiovascular Abnormalities: Antioxidant Action

Doxorubicin (DOX) induces oxidative stress leading to cardiovascular abnormalities. Green tea extract (GTE) is reported to possess antioxidant activity mainly by means of its polyphenolic constituent, catechins. Our study was aimed to find out the effect of GTE (100 mg/kg / day p.o. for 28 days) on DOX induced (3 mg/kg, IP on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28) cardiovascular abnormalities in rat heart. DOX...
