The present study was conducted to evaluate the ameliorating effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on physiological and biochemical changes of induced NaCl-salinity stress on in vitro shoot and callus cultured of red-fleshed apple. Shoot and callus segments of the red-flesh apple of Local Iranian genotype were cultured on MS medium containing different levels of NaCl (0, 30, 60 and 90 mM) and A...

Background: Cryopreservation of pre-antral follicles is a hopeful technique to preserve female fertility. The aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels of mouse vitrified pre-antral follicles in the presence of alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Methods: Isolated pre-antral follicles (140–150 µm in diameter) were divided into vitrif...

Keratoacanthoma-like squamous cell carcinoma (KA-like SCC) is a malignant classification of KA. We report here case surgical combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) to treat KA-like SCC in an elderly male successful tumor removal. The resection was performed before ALA-PDT. One week later, the lesion site further treated 20% ALA for 3 h when it unknown whether resecte...

objective(s): to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (pparg) with essential hypertension (eh) and additional role of gene– high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl) interaction. materials and methods:a total of 1640 patients with eh (806 males, 834 females), with a mean age of 52.5±12.6 years, were selec...

compound of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala) has herbicide behavior in high concentration. while, it acts as growth regulator at low concentrations and causes resistance to various stresses incluing cold and salibity. therefore the exogenous application of 5-aminolevulinic acid was investigated to induce cold stress tolerance in young soybean plants (glycine max l.). the experiment was conducted a...
