diabetes is a metabolic disorder inducing undesirable effects on male reproductive system. cannabis sativa (c. sativa) is a plant that affects diabetes and decreases blood glucose. the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of cannabis sativa hydroalcoholic extract on sperm parameters in diabetic rats. thirty five male wistar rats (210-240 gr) were divided into five groups: control (...

background: the clinical symptoms of diabetes mellitus in oral cavity are xerostomia, pathological changes in periodontal tis­sues and caries. it has been suggested that the determination of salvia`s components in diabetic patients may be useful in de­scribing and further understanding the oral findings in this condition. the aim of this study was to detect differences be­tween the salivary alb...

cardiovascular disease is the common cause of mortality in diabetic subjects. recently, it is indicated that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars) agonists have beneficial effect on cardiovascular system especially on angiogenesis. ppars have three isotypes: pparα, pparβ/δ and pparγ. in this study, we evaluated the effect of bezafibrate as pan ppar agonist on myocardial capillary ...

background: diabetes mellitus in some clinical cases is accompanied with hyperalgesia. in this study, we evaluated the possible beneficial effect of chronic pelargonidin (pg) treatment on hyperalgesia in streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic neuropathic rat. methods: male wistar rats (n = 56) were divided into seven groups, i.e. control, diabetic, pg-treated control, pg (single- and multiple-dose)-trea...

background: royal jelly has been shown to have antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. the objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of rj against kidney damage in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. methods: thirty two male wistar rats were divided randomly into four groups (n=8 per group). normal control and diabetic control groups received 1cc/day distilled water, normal ...

objective: to determine the level of lipoprotein (a) in diabetic patients comparing to control group. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on the patients referred to endocrinology clinic of bu ali-sina hospital in 2009. 180 subjects including 90 diabetic and 90 healthy subjects as control group enrolled in this study. all diabetic patients had glycemic control. we me...

introduction: the importance of the periodontal health maintenance and promotion in diabetes mellitus has been supported. evidence showed that many patients are unaware about effects of diabetes mellitus on oral health. the aim of this study is to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and practice of diabetic patients concerning the risk of periodontal disease and prevention. materials and methods: in ...

the present study was undertaken to determine whether two-month treatment of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats with aqueous leaf extract of trigonella foenum-graecum (tfg 200 mg/kg i.p.) could improve thoracic aortic responsiveness and to evaluate its endothelium dependency. for this purpose, vascular responses to kcl and noradrenaline (na) were measured. diabetic state significantly increased...

to evaluate the acute effect of lovastatin on diabetic endothelial dysfunction, we examined this effect on the aortic rings of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. the endothelial function was assessed in aortic rings isolated from diabetic rats, 12 weeks after treatment with streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, i.p.). the concentration-response curve to acetylcholine (ach) in the aortic rings precontracted with...

abstract   introduction: diabetes mellitus accompanies with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. considering the beneficial antidiabetic potential of apium graveolens (ag ), this research study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chronic i.p. administration of ag on learning and memory in diabetic rats using passive avoidance ...
