[ 1 ] - Evaluation of the Effect of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) on Survival and Colonization of Caprine Spermatogonial Stem Cells during in Vitro Culture
Background and Objectives: Spermatogonial stem cells are specific cells that have the ability of self-renewal and differentiation. These cells play an essential role in maintaining spermatogenesis and fertility. In this regard, the present study was performed with the purpose of investigating the effect of different concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on in vitro colony formati...
[ 2 ] - Protective Effect of Cynara scolymus L. on Blood Biochemical Parameters and Liver Histopathological Changes in Phenylhydrazine-induced Hemolytic Anemia in Rats
Background: Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) possesses bioactive components with antioxidant effects. This plant has been widely used in traditional medicine. Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the protective activity of Hydroethanolic Extract of Cynara scolymus (HECS) against experimentally-induced hemolytic anemia in rats. Methods: Hemolytic anemia was induced by intraperitoneal inj...
[ 3 ] - Amelioration of Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Enzymes Status in the Serum and Erythrocytes of Phenylhydrazine-Induced Anemic Male Rats: The Protective Role of Artichoke Extract (Cynara scolymus L.)
BACKGROUND: Hemolytic anemia is a disorder characterized by the premature erythrocytes destruction. Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which causes hemolytic anemia. Cynara scolymus due to its antioxidant compounds, has been used for various therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to evalua...
[ 4 ] - Assessment of the Effects of Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors on the Immune Status Following Surgery in Adult Male Rats
Background and Objectives: Surgery via different mechanisms causes immunosuppression in the post-operative period. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of preoperative administration of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on blood levels of Interleukin-2 (IL-2), Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), white blood cells (WBCs) and lymphocytes. Methods: Seventy-five ma...
[ 5 ] - The Protective Effects of Allium Saralicum Aqueous Extract on Blood Glucose and Some Related Biochemical Factors in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Male Rats: An Experimental Study
Background and Objectives: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders. Medicinal plants have been used for controlling diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of Allium saralicum on blood glucose and some related biochemical factors in alloxan induced type-1 diabetes in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, diabetes w...
