Introduction: Retinoid signaling has been argued to have favorable effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the role of chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the amyloid-beta (Aβ) model of AD. Methods: Adult male rats weighing 260-330 g were divided into 12 groups of 8 each. Six groups of rats received ATRA (3nM, 30nM, 3μM, 0.3mM, 30...

Background Diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction (DACD) is a common and serious complication in diabetes has high impact on the lives of both individuals society. Although number research focused DACD past two decades, there no study to systematically display knowledge structure development field. Thus, present aimed show landscape identify emerging trends for assisting researchers or clini...

objective: asthma is an airway complex disease defined by reversible airway narrowing and obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of brassica napus l. (b. napus) on airway pathologic changes in a rat model of asthma. materials and methods: twenty-four rats were divided into 4 groups: contr...

Objective(s):We investigated the relationship between the expression of tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 (TSG-6) with inflammation and integrity of the bladder epithelium in the bladder tissues of patients with bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) and the mechanism of action using a rat model of BPS/IC.   Materials and Methods: Expression of TSG-6 and uroplakin III was det...

Objective(s):MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They have important roles in kidney development, homeostasis and disease, and participate in the onset and progression of tubulointerstitial sclerosis and end-stage glomerular lesions that occur in various forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the present study, we elucidated the role of microR...
