beta-2 adrenoceptors in blood vessels are one of the active factors that play a role in regulation of tissue blood flow. in diabetic angiopathy, responsiveness of these receptors is decreased, while that is increased in inflammation. according to these opposite effects, the aim of this study was to investigate the vasodilatory response of knee joint blood vessels to salbutamol (beta-2 adrenocep...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding different levels of zinc sulfate in semen extender on bovine sperm quality during cryopreservation. semen was collected from 4 holstein bull twice a week and the proper samples were pooled. semen were allocated to four extender treatments consisted of 0, 50, 100, 150 µm of zinc sulfate in 5 replicates and then, were frozen. post-thaw...

some adipocytokines are cardioprotective or pro-inflammatory for cardiovascular system. chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae and helicobacter pylori has been also considered as novel risk factors for atherosclerosis. the main aim of the current population-based study is to investigate the potential link between circulating adipocytokines and chlamydia pneumoniae or helicobacter pylori ig...

many species belonging to the scrophularia genus have been used since ancient times as folk remedies for many medical conditions such as scrofulas, scabies, tumors, eczema, psoriasis, inflammations. the aim of this study was to characterize the matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) inhibitor compounds of the scrophularia striata extract by bio-guide fractionation. the aerial parts of s. striata were...

nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (na+-mmt) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (na+-mmt-[pmim]hso4). this catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4h-benzopyrans via three-component reactions between aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile. the proc...
