[ 1 ] - Protective effect of metformin on toxicity of butyric acid and arsenic in isolated liver mitochondria and langerhans islets in male mice: an in vitro study
Objective(s): Arsenic, a toxic metal in drinking water and butyric acid (BA) is a free fatty acid found in many foods. These two can induce oxidative stress in some tissues. The present study investigated the protective effect of metformin against toxicity induced by Arsenic (As) and BA in isolated mice liver mitochondria and pancreatic islets. Materials and Methods: In this study, liver mitoch...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Diabetogenic Mechanism of High Fat Diet in Combination with Arsenic Exposure in Male Mice
Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

[ 4 ] - Efficiency of naringin against reproductive toxicity and testicular damages induced by bisphenol A in rats
Objective(s): Bisphenol A (BPA) as a synthetic compound is applied in many plastic industries. BPA has been reported to have endocrine-disrupting feature with cytotoxic effects. The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Naringin against testicular toxicity induced by BPA in adult rats.Materials and Methods: The animals were assigned into six groups of control, BPA-treated (50 mg/kg), BPA+Na...
