چکیده
Material and Methods: A total of 24 female Wistar rats were divided into two groups. The control group received saline, and the second group was administered medroxyprogesterone acetate in the therapeutic dose of 30 mg/kg bw. The substances were applied daily, intramuscularly for a period of 7 days. Paraffin sections of thymus were dyed with the following methods: hematoxylin eosin and elastica Van Gieson.

Changes of Spleen in Wistar Rats Exposed to Therapeutic Doses of Dexamethasone and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Evaluated by Stereological Parameters.
The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the immunosuppressive effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) determining the volume densities of the structural components of the spleen. The volume densities of the same structural components of spleen were determined after administration of dexamethasone too, in order to see whether the morphological changes induced by MPA are in the same line...

Material and Methods. Total of 48 female Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Control group was given saline daily, intra-muscularly, and the other three groups MPA in doses of 7.5, 15.0 and 75.0 mg/kg bw during 30 days. Paraffin sections from adrenal glands were stained according the following methods: hematoxylin-eosin, Azan modified by Heidenhein, Van-Gieson, Kossa-Goldner, Masson and ...

Results. Gravimetric and variance analysis demonstrated the most remarkable decrease of the adrenal gland weight after the application of 75.0 mg/kg/bw MPA (from 35.66 ± 11.78 to 13.41 ± 8.41 mg (p<0.001). On the other hand, morphometric analysis demonstrated that adrenal cortex volume was the most significantly reduced from 11.30 ± 3.53 in the control group to 2.04 ± 0.90 mm3 in the group trea...
متن کاملP-157: A Comparison of The Effect of Levonorgestrel IUD with Oral Medroxyprogesterone Acetate on Abnormal Uterine Bleeding with Simple Endometrial Hyperplasia and Fertility Preservation
Background: Endometrial hyperplasia is important clinically, because it can lead to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) which itself can precede to endometrial cancer. Endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract, occurring about 75-85% in younger, perimenopousal women as hyperplasic endometrial. The treatment is hysterectomy or hormone therapy with progesterone. ...

Background: Lead is one of the heavy metals that is persists in the environment and has destructive effects on various human tissues. We investigated the effects of lead on the histological features of liver and its enzymatic functions. Methods: Forty chickens were purchased and randomly divided into four groups. In addition to the normal feed, each group received different doses of lead aceta...
