in the mammalian, there are three ncx genes (ncx1, ncx2, ncx3), which their three proteins are differentially expressed in distinct regions of the central nervous system, where they might underlie different physiological and pathophysiological functions. ncx is a nine-transmembrane protein which is distributed in the brain widely. ncx operates in a bidirectional way, and exchanges ca2+ and na+ ...

results the basic mechanism of hepatic ischemia – reperfusion injury is one of blood deprivation during ischemia, followed by the return of flow during reperfusion. it involves a complex series of events, such as mitochondrial deenergization, adenosine-5'-triphosphate depletion, alterations of electrolyte homeostasis, as well as kupffer cell activation, oxidative stress changes and upregulation...

aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, peroxyl radical scavenger, and antioxidant agent that inhibits phospholipases, nitric oxide synthetases, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. the existing literature contains no studies on the effects of various doses of aspirin on spinal cord injury (sci). therefore, we sought to investigate the putative effects of aspirin on experimental sci. the weight-drop injur...

discussion the prevalence of mtss was relatively lower in this study comparing to other studies on military personnel. it was not probably due to type of military shoes or exercise area surface (none of them were standardized); it could be due to low intensity trainings and the long intervals between training sessions. results data of all the 181 subjects with the mean age of 30.7 ± 4.68 years ...
