[ 1 ] - Stereological Method for Assessing the Effect of Vitamin C Administration on the Reduction of Acrylamide-induced Neurotoxicity

Introduction: Acrylamide (ACR) consumption is increasing all over the world. There are some evidence on the literature about its neurotoxic effect on mature animals, but the effects of ACR on postnatal development have been less studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ACR on development of cortical layer, white matter, and number of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum in ...

[ 2 ] - Stereological Survey of the Effect of Vitamin C on Neonatal Rat Kidney Tissue Treated With Acrylamide

Background and Objectives: Acrylamide (ACR) is a known carcinogenic chemical agent found in some foods at considerably high concentration. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of vitamin C as an antioxidant on kidney tissue in rats treated with ACR. Methods: Twenty female Wistar rats (200-220 grams) were divided into 4 groups (n=5) of control group, ACR group, vita...

[ 3 ] - Stereological Study on the Effects of Maternal Caffeine Consumption on Histomorphometric Changes of Testis and Prostate in Rat Offspring

Background and Objective: It is conceivable that caffeine consumption would induce gonadal changes. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of embryonic caffeine exposure on rat testis and prostate. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into (n=7): A control, only received drinking water. B and C groups received caffeine low dose (26 mg/kg) and high dose (45 mg/kg) respectively...

[ 4 ] - Effects of Icariin on Histomorphometric Changes of Testis and Prostate Induced by Acrylamide in Mice

Background and Aims: This study aimed to observe the effect of Icariin on histomorphometric changes of testis and prostate induced by Acrylamide. Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups (n=8): A is the control group and does not get any treatment, B is the sham group and only received drinking water. C group received Acrylamide 10 mg/kg. D group received Acrylamide 15 mg...

[ 5 ] - A Review of Tissue‐Engineered Cartilage Utilizing Fibrin and Its Composite

Suitable alternatives are made for damaged or diseased organs and tissues in tissue engineering by combining cellular and molecular biology with materials and mechanical engineering. Fibrin is a critical blood component responsible for homeostasis, used extensively as a biopolymer scaffold in tissue engineering. This study summarizes the latest developments in organ and tissue regeneration usin...
