abstract

introduction: cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug with several side effects on various organs such as male reproductive system that can cause infertility. in this study, we assessed combined effect of ginger and pumpkin extractson rat testis after cp injection. methods: forty adult male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group received intraperitoneal injection of isotonic saline solution. the cyclophosphamide (cp) group received a single dose of cyclophosphamide (100 mg kg_1bw) intraperitoneally. combined extracts (ginger+ pumpkin) group received orally 300 mg combined extracts and combined extracts(ginger+ pumpkin) +cp groups received orally 300 mg combined extracts for a period of 6 weeks after cp injection. results: our results showed that although ginger extract could not change testis weight, testosterone, malondialdehyde (mda) and ros, antioxidant level in serum was increased significantly. epithelium thickness and tube diameter were decreased in combined groups with or without cp in comparison to control group. the combined extract could improve histological changes in both combined extract and combined extract+ cp compared to cp group, which could be attributed to the higher serum level of antioxidants. conclusion: the administration of combined extracts

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

the effect of oxytetracycline on serum calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in cattle

نتایج این مطالعه نشان می دهد که مقدار کلسیم (یونیزه و تام)، منیزیم و فسفر به طور معنی داری تغییر پیدا کرد به جزء مقدار کلسیم تام و منیزیم در روش داخل عضلانی که تغییر معنی داری نداشته است. بر اساس نتایج این مطالعه می توان نتیجه گیری کرد که اکسی تتراساکلین بر روی مقادیر سرمی کلسیم و منیزیم تأثیر می گذارد باید مقدار این کاتیون ها در بیماران، در هنگامی که اکسی تتراسایکلین استفاده می شود مورد توجه ق...
