[ 1 ] - The protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) against iron-induced functional and histological damages in rat liver and kidney
Objective: Iron overload in the body is related with toxic effects and threatens the health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective role of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale) against ferrous sulfate-induced hepatic and renal functional disorders and histological damages in rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups (n=7): Sham, Sham + G...
[ 2 ] - The role of nitric oxide in the protective action of remote ischemic per-conditioning against ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal failure in rat
Objective(s): We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the protective effects of remote ischemic per-conditioning (rIPerC) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in male rats. Materials and Methods: I/R treatment consisted of 45 min bilateral renal artery ischemia and 24 hr reperfusion interval. rIPerC was performed using four cycles of 2 min occlusions of the left femoral artery an...
[ 3 ] - Berberine protects the liver and kidney against functional disorders and histological damages induced by ferrous sulfate
Objective(s): Iron is an essential element for living organisms. Iron overload can have detrimental effects on health. This study pertains to the protective role of berberine against ferrous sulfate-induced hepatic and renal functional disorders and histological damages in rats.Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups (n=7): Sham, Ber (10 mg/kg/day for 14 days, by gavage), ...
[ 4 ] - تأثیر تمرین شنا بر بیان ژن‌های CYP17A1 و CYP19A1 در بافت تخمدان رت‌های ویستار سالم
زمینه و هدف: آنزیم‌های CYP17A1 و CYP19A1 پروتئین‌های کلیدی در ساخت و تنظیم هورمون‌های استروئیدی مانند کورتیزول، تستوسترون و استروژن هستند. اما هنوز تاثیر فعالیت ورزشی بر این دو پروتئین مهم در بافت تخمدان بررسی نشده است. هدف از مطالعه حاضر، بررسی تأثیر تمرین شنا بر بیان ژن‌های CYP17A1 و CYP19A1 در بافت تخمدان رت‌های ویستار سالم می‌باشد. روش بررسی: 20 سر موش صحرایی سالم ماده 2 ماهه از نژاد ویستا...
[ 5 ] - Berberine Ameliorates Renal Functional Disorders and Pulmonary Tissue Injury Following Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion in Rats
Introduction: This study investigated the effect of berberine on renal dysfunction and histological damages of the lung induced by renal ischemia/ reperfusion at an early stage. Methods: There were four experimental groups of adult male rats (n=7). Seven days before induction of ischemia, the Ber+I/R group received oral (by gavage) berberine (15 mg/kg/day) while the I/R group received distil...
[ 6 ] - Orexin-A Improves Hepatic Injury Following Renal Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats
Introduction: Orexins are novel neuropeptides that are localized in neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. They are implicated in a wide variety of physiological functions. Orexin peptides and receptors are found in many peripheral organs such as kidneys. It has been demonstrated that exogenous orexin-A can induce protective effects against ischemia–reperfusion injury in many organs. The goal ...
[ 7 ] - اثر نسترن کوهی بر آسیب ایسکمی/ خون‌رسانی مجدد در موش‌های صحرایی بیهوش‌شده
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion induced acute renal failure causes excretory functional disorders of nephrons. Ischemia/reperfusion injury is accompanied by generation of reactive oxygen species that leads to dysfunction, injury, and death of renal cells. Antioxidants of plant origin minimize the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species. The aim of this study was to determine the possible th...
[ 8 ] - Protective role of remote ischemic per-conditioning in acute renal injury induced by ischemia reperfusion via TLR-4 and TNF-α signaling pathway in rats
sIntroduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I / R) of the kidney as an inflammatory process in which multiple inflammatory factors are involved. Recently, one of the modalities of inflammation in AKI is Remote Ischemic Per-Conditioning (RIPerC). Materials and Methods: In this study, bilateral renal artery and vein occlusion were done for 45 minute and reperfusion a...
[ 9 ] - Study of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L) and its Mechanism of Action on Type 2 Diabetes
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with life threatening complications such as diabetic retinopathy, renal failure and cardiovascular disease. Metformin, Glibenclamide, Acarbose, Empagliflozin, Sitagliptin and Repaglinide are the most common drugs for reducing the blood glucose. The blood glucose-lowering drugs have side effects such as severe hypoglycemia, liver cel...
