The efficacy of repeated doses of Dinazene® in Albino rats experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei (Gboko strain) was investigated. A total of 30 adult female Albino rats weighing 130-190 g were used for the study. They were assigned to six groups (groups A-F) of five rats each. Groups A-D were infected intraperitoneally with 1.0 × 106 trypanosomes in 400 μL of PBS diluted blood while g...

PURPOSE Female patients show better recovery after brain injury and lower incidence of vascular diseases before menopause. The aim of this study was to test the protective effect of female sexual hormones against photostress-induced photoreceptor apoptosis. METHODS Five week old male albino Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with progesterone (60 mg/kg body weight) for 4 days...

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is the major cause of acute renal failure. Renal I/R have distant effects on other organs, especially the heart. The purpose of this study was to investigate cardiac lesion following bilateral renal ischemia (50 minutes) and reperfusion (48 hours) in adult rats, to test sex differences in the development of cardiac lesions after acute renal I/R and to investigat...

The proper function of the ovary is influenced by other endocrine glands like the thyroid gland, which is one of the most important endocrine glands of the body that affects many cells all over it .This work is designed to focus on the histological and histochemical changes in...

Albino mice and rats have elevated dark-adapted thresholds compared to normally pigmented animals. The absolute dark-adapted incremental threshold for black mice is about 1.5 log units lower than the threshold for albino mice when measured by single-unit recordings from the superior colliculus. Cell counts from the outer nuclear layer in albino mice are not significantly different from those in...
