[ 1 ] - Effect of genistein on expression of pancreatic SIRT1, inflammatory cytokines and histological changes in ovariectomized diabetic rat

Objective(s): Genistein is reported to have anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory functions, in particular, direct effects on β-cell proliferation and insulin secretion. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of genistein on the pancreatic β-cells in ovariectomized diabetic rat. Materials and Methods:Forty female rats were divided into four groups: sham, bilateral ovariectomy...

[ 2 ] - Involvement of microRNA-133 and -29 in cardiac disturbances in diabetic ovariectomized rats

Objective(s): Menopause and diabetes obviously increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the effects of ovariectomy in type 2 diabetes on the histology and expression of miRNA-29, miRNA-133, IGF-1 and Bcl-2 genes and Bcl-2 protein and caspase 3 activity in the hearts of female rats. Materials and Methods: Forty Female Wistar rats were ...

[ 3 ] - Expression of the Mir-133 and Bcl-2 could be affected by swimming training in the heart of ovariectomized rats

Objective(s): The beneficial and more potent role of exercise to prevent heart apoptosis in ovariectomized rats has been known. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of swimming training on cardiac expression of Bcl-2, and Mir-133 levels and glycogen changes in the myocyte. Materials and Methods: Forty animals were separated into four groups as control, sham, ovariectomy (OVX) and o...

[ 4 ] - Effect of renal ischemia-reperfusion on lung injury and inflammatory responses in male rat

Objective(s):Acute kidney injury (AKI), a syndrome characterized by decreased glomerular filtration, occurs in every 1 of 5 hospitalized patients.  Renal ischemia-reperfusion, one of the main causes of AKI, is of particular importance in the setting of kidney transplantation. Materials and Methods: Sixty male rats were divided into four groups including control, nephrectomy, sham surgery and re...

[ 5 ] - تاثیر لاکتوباسیلوس‌های پروبیوتیکی بر وضعیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی موش‌های دیابتی‌شده با استرپتوزتوسین

Background: Blood glucose increases production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and oxidative stress in diabetic patients. Recent research suggests that use of probiotics have beneficial effects on biomarkers of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to determine effects of probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei on biomarkers oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced...

[ 6 ] - Exercise training attenuates diabetes-induced cardiac injury through increasing miR-133a and improving pro-apoptosis/anti-apoptosis balance in ovariectomized rats

Objective(s): The useful and effective role of exercise program to prevent cardiac tissue apoptosis and fibrosis in ovariectomized type 2 diabetic (T2DM) rats (OVR.D) is well known. The current study aimed to investigate the simultaneous effects of T2DM and swimming plan on the expression of some apoptotic, anti-apoptotic biomarkers and glycogen changes in the cardiac ...

[ 7 ] - Bioinformatic Evaluation of miR-222-3p Specificity in Binding to Genes Involved in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children

Background and Objectives: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. The disease progresses rapidly mandating immediate treatment. ALL is the most common type of leukemia affecting children. An increase in the miR-222-3p molecule has been observed in the course of this disease. The microarray method can be used to examine the binding of this miRNA and ...
