Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

Background & Aims: Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Oxidative stress has a principal role in the complications of stroke. Due to this fact and the antioxidant effects of ascorbic acid, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid on reduction of stroke complications in a permanent model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in male rats. Methods: In this experi...

introduction: fruits and vegetables have special importance as a very important part of the human food supply. and from the beginnings of life, man has used these products to supply a part of his food. nowadays, horticultural products are widely used in the diet. cherry is one of the deciduous trees in the temperate regions, which is potassium rich. use of oxalic acid significantly reduces fros...

Many properties of chemicals depend on their stereochemistry. Among these, the effects of stereoisomerism on percutaneous absorption of drugs are not well studied. We have previously shown that permeation of tretinoin and isotretinoin (two geometric isomers) through hydrophilic enhancers-treated rat skin is stereoselective. As, depending on their lipophilicity, penetration enhancers can change ...

objective: an association between high homocysteine levels and proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy has been shown. on the other hand, supplementation with folic acid lowers homocysteine concentration. we have studied the effects of folic acid supplementation on proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients with overt proteinuria. materials and methods: forty five (29 men and 16 women) type 2 diabetic...

Gamma-linoleic acid in the seed oil of evening primrose makes it nutritionally and pharmaceutically valuable. If evening primrose wants to be cultivated as an annual plant, sowing time is important. By the late sowing and depends to time most plants do not produce flower stem and stay in rosette stage until next spring. To solve this problem, the present study was performed. Seedling were trans...
