The Study of Histomorphometry and Histochemistry of Liver in Adult Male and Female Rats Following Short-term and Long-term Administration of Methylphenidate

Background & Objective: Methylphenidate is one of the most common medications used for treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The administration of methylphenidate, through blocking of dopamine receptors and increment of extracellular dopamine levels, leads to escalation in central nervous system activity. Numerous studies investigated the effect of methylphenidate on bod...

Assessment of Sialic Acid Distribution in Mouse Epididymis

Previous studies have shown that epididymal epithelium and its secretions are critical for sperm maturation. These secretions contain many glycoconjugates with sialic acid terminal sugar. This terminal sugar by interveining in cellular interactions and masking surface receptors, has an important role in sperm maturation and protection. Moreover lectins have been employed as useful probes to det...

Lectin Histochemistry Assessment of Seminiferous Epithelium Glycoconjugates in Mouse

Purpose: Plasma membrane glycoconjugates are important determinantsof differentiation and iteraction during spermtogenesis. Which entails miotic and meiosis proliferation, alternation in cell shape and so on. Hihg rates of them synthetized and present in acrosomes. With attention to such importancy, the present study has was designed to analyze glycoconjugates with special terminal sugar residu...

P-44: Oral Gibberellic Acid Administration Impact on Testicular Histochemistry

Background: Gibberellic acid (GBA) is a naturally occurring and commercially produced plant growth regulator which may cause a variety of effects including the stimulation of seed germination in some cases. Histochemical changes in testicular tissue including carbohydrates, lipids and alkaline phosphatase enzyme changes were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven mature male rats after ...

Assessment of Mercuric Chloride Intoxication in albino Rats on the Basis of Hepatobiochemistry, Serum Biochemistry, Histochemistry & Histopathologh

Background: Exposure to any xenobiotic can disturb the metabolic activities of particular organs. Hence present study is designed to find changes in hepatic biochemistry, histochemistry and histopathology besides serum enzyme levels after acute and sub-acute treatment with mercuric chloride, a heavy metallic compound, in albino rat (Rattus norvegicus). Materials & methods: Thirty albino rat...
