Cellular dimensions in mesenteric resistance vessels from 10 spontaneously hypertensive rats and 10 Wistar-Kyoto rats have been determined using a random volume with an unbiased counting rule as the counting unit (the disector). With this method, vessels first were mounted on a myograph. Media thickness (spontaneously hypertensive rats, 11.3 micron; Wistar-Kyoto rats, 8.6 micron; P less than 0....

We have previously reported that there is a poor correlation between increase in the levels of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT1A1 and UGT1A6, and decrease in the levels of serum total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 in phenobarbital (PB)-treated rats, although the PB-induced decrease in rats is generally thought to occur through induction of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (T4-UDP-GT: UGT1A1 and U...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of endurance training (et) on ? -1a protein of pre-synaptic p-q-type calcium channels in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 16 male wistar rats provided from razi institute, were randomly divided to 2 groups (control-sham; n=8 and endurance training; n= 8). training group performed 8 weeks (5 session/week) of endurance training on...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of continuous exercise on a treadmill on hsp72 and tac levels of the hippocampus of male wistar rats. for this purpose, 20 male wistar rats (weight 165±1 gr. and age 6 to 8 weeks old) were assigned randomly into four groups: one control group and three acute endurance training groups (groups 1,2 and 3 were killed 30 minutes, 4 h...

The aim of this work was to elucidate the possible role of glucocorticoids in the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced decrease in hepatic IGF-I synthesis. For this purpose, we studied the effect of LPS on IGF-I in two rat strains, Wistar and Lewis, which have different adrenal responses to inflammation. Compared with Wistar rats, Lewis rats have a reduced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal r...

  Since the stress influences the biological processes, in the present study the effect of prenatal immobilization stress on the sexual activity of male rats was studied. Adult male and female Wistar rats (Pasteur Institute, Tehran) were copulated. After observing the vaginal plugs, pregnant rats were divided into control and two experimental groups. All groups were kept under the laboratory co...

In Indonesia illegal traditional liquor mostly contain ethanol and methanol some of called cukrik (mixed liquor), Misuse mixed can lead to intoxication may death. Several studies have shown its effect on kidney damage. This study is analyzing the (ethanol methanol) histopathological damage male Wistar rat kidney. was experimental laboratories using a post-test only control group design. We are ...

Background: Male infertility is considered a major cause of couple as it represents 25- 50 % cases. In addition, non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) 10% all infertile men.There no definite curable treatment for such cases.
 Aim Work: The purpose this research was to assess the efficacy BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs in treating busulfan-induced wistar rats.
 Materials Methods: were extracted from ...
