چکیده
Results: NO, SDMA, ADMA levels of the active patients and SDMA and ADMA levels of the inactive patients were found to be signifi cantly higher than those of the healthy controls. SMDA and ADMA levels in the group with active vessel involvement; NO, SDMA, ADMA, and L-arginine levels in the group with inactive vessel involvement; and, NO, SDMA, and ADMA levels of the mucocutaneous group were signifi cantly higher than those of the healthy controls. However we detected no statistically signifi cant diff erence among the patient groups.

Increasing of serum nitric oxide metabolites in chicken Eimeria infection
In order to determine the involvement of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of coccidiosis induced by Eimeria, 30 chickens were challenged with mixed sporulated oocysts of four species of Eimeria (E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, and E. tenella) at 26 days of age. There was an increasing of oocyst shedding in the infected birds at 6, 10 and 14 days post-infection. Histopathological examinat...
متن کاملChanges in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats
Introduction: Repeated hyperglycemia play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Endothelium is the organ of the first-line defense against atherosclerosis and nitric oxide has a major role in this task. The aim of this study was to determine changes in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats. Me...
متن کاملP-79: The Correlation between Nitric Oxide Levels in Seminal Plasma with Human Sperm Parameters
Background: Defective sperm quality is a significant cause of infertility in men. It is known that nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive free radical gas which has a dual function, being both a cytotoxic and necessary molecule for normal sperm production. Materials and Methods: To investigate correlation between NO levels with sperm parameters, a case-control study were designed with total of ...
متن کاملAssociation between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease
Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...
متن کاملAlleviation of Cisplatin-Induced Hepatotoxic Damage: the Synergistic Effect of Morin and Hesperidin against Oxidative Stress
Background and objectives: A key aspect of cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity is oxidative stress. The current study was conducted to show, for the first time, the restoring and synergistic effects of morin and hesperidin against oxidative stress in hepatotoxicity. Methods: Fourty-two Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into seven groups: group A (control), ...
