OBJECTIVES Several researchers have reported the relationship between infertility in male and varicocele for so many years but the implication of varicocele in female patients is remains elusive. Here, we aim to examine the effects of unilateral varicose ovarian vein on antioxidant capacity and oocyte quality of rat ovary after the experimental creation of varicocele in female rats. MATERIALS...

OBJECTIVE N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) induces breast cancer in rodents, particularly in rats. This model of breast cancer is very similar to human breast cancer. As a continuation of our recent work, we investigated the expressions of cyclin D1 and p21 in NMU-induced breast cancer of Wistar Albino rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, mammary carcinoma was induced in female...

In the present study, the effect of oral administration of imidacloprid over three generations on biochemical, histological and physiological alterations in female rats was assessed. Female rats were divided into three groups. Group 1 was control and was given corn oil, group 2 was administered imidacloprid at the rate of 10 mg/kg bw/day, group 3 was administered imidacloprid at the rate of 20 ...

INTRODUCTION Alcohol consumption is frequently associated with gastric mucosal lesions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Coenzyme-Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation on the ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixty-four female wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 8). Studies were performed in ethanol induced gastric...

Haematology is defined as the branch of biology, which deals with the morphology of blood and blood forming organs. Haematological profiles of blood can provide important information about the internal environment of the organism and it can be used as bio monitoring tool in ecotoxicity risks of toxicant. In the present investigation the effect of Mesu .ferrea flower and Carica papaya seeds comp...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of two regimes during rats' gestation and lactation on learning, memory and motor function of their offspring. for this purpose, female rats (albino-wistar) were obtained from pasteur institute, iran. after mating, 12 pregnant rats were divided into three groups and they had their special regimes during their last week of pregnancy as we...

To determine whether the absence of pituitary or ovarian hormones would influence retinal degeneration, female albino rats were either hypophysectomized (HYPEX) or ovariectomized (OVEX) before pubery. Later, they were exposed to continuous light for periods up to 45 days. Retinas evaluated by light microscopic measurements showed damage to the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and photoreceptor layer i...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effect of sex steroid deficiency on the rat tongue mucosa as well as the effect of its replacement. Methods: We chose 21 sexually virgin female Wistar albino rats in this study. We divided the model rats into 3 groups: Group-1:Control, Group-2: Sham-operated (bilaterally ovariectomized), and Group-3: Sham-operated, in addition we ...

to follow-up the present study, 40 mature female rats were used. the animals were divided into test,control and sham groups. the rats in the test group were laparotomized and unilateral ovariectomy was done. on the 1st and 2nd met-oestrous after operation, the tissue samples were dissected out and processed for histological study. the intact ovary in the test group underwent a significant (p
