conclusions troxerutin may reduce the vascular complications and tissue injuries induced by chronic diabetes in rat aorta through increasing the activity of tissue antioxidant system and reducing the level of lipid peroxidation. materials and methods male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 8/each): control, control plus troxerutin, diabetic and diabetic plus troxerutin. dia...

objective: to evaluate the hepatoprotective properties of otostegia persica (o. persica) ethanol extract on carbon tetrachlo­­ride-induced liver damage in rats. materials and methods: fifty adult male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. group i served as normal control and was given only olive oil intraperitoneally (i.p.). group ii, iii, iv, and v were administered ccl4 mixed wi...

this study was conducted to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of pentoxifylline (ptx) against aflatoxin b1 (afb1) exposure in perfused rat livers by evaluating damage marker enzymes, antioxidant defense systems (glutathione, gsh) and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, mda). sixteen rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups: control, ptx, afb1 and afb1 + p...

to study the effects of 24-epibrassinolode on improving germination parameters and seedling growth of typical american eggplant under chilling stress, an experiment with four concentrations of 24-epibrassinolode (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 µm) in completely randomized design in factorial form with three replicates were performed in plant physiology lab of arak university at 1391. eggplant seeds were soake...

background: imbalances between the oxidant-antioxidant status have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including oral cancer. majority of oral cancer are preceded by a well-recognized group of pre-malignant lesions. however, only a small fraction of those lesions, undergo malignant transformation. hence, there is a great need to identify biological markers, which will assis...
