background: daunorubicin‑induced acute cardiotoxicity caused by oxidative stress and free radical formation. pomegranate possessed a significant in vitro free radical scavenging activity. therefore, the aim of this study was estimations of the role of pomegranate effects in daunorubicin‑induced cardiotoxicity. methods: a total of 21 sprague male rats were allocated into three groups, seven anim...

metronidazole, a synthetic derivative of the nitroimidazole class is a known antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent. the hypolipidemic effect of metronidazole was not known. the authors noticed it incidentally for the first time. after quazi experimental studies on several cases, it was revealed that 750 mg of metronidazole for 10 days significantly decreased serum cholesterol. this trial was pe...

objective(s) oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis. rosmarinic acid, a plant phenolic compound, was first used as an antioxidant agent for inhibition of diabetic nephropathy. material and methods forty male rats were uninephrectomized from the left flank.the rats were divided in four groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, g...

Diabetes is associated with high risk for vascular disease, and aggressive lipid management is generally necessary. The management of dyslipidemia in patients with diabetes requires attention to the full lipid profile, since hypertriglyceridemia is particularly common. This study aimed to determine the effect of taurine, selenium and azathioprine on diabetic complications, including plasma gluc...

conclusions hexagonal water has no significant effect(s) on total cholesterol, hdl, and ldl; however, more experiments are needed to clarify all aspects of hexagonal water consumption on diabetes. background diabetes is one of the most prevalent abnormalities in all over the world. nowadays, there are lots of attempts to reduce its disturbances and defects by changing life style to access some ...

BACKGROUND Although apolipoprotein (apo) CIII gene polymorphisms have proved to be related to the increased serum lipid level in foreign studies, the results have not always been consistent among diverse populations. In addition, the research focuses on the impact of the apoCIII on the serum lipid levels of Han Chinese subjects which was not conducted before. OBJECTIVE To explore the relation...

Diabetes mellitus has been suggested to be the most common metabolic disorder associated with magnesium deficiency, having 25% to 39% prevalence. This deficit could be associated with the development of late diabetic complications, especially macroangiopathy.We aimed to evaluate the status of serum Mg in children with type 1 diabetes and assess its relation to glycemic control and lipid profile...
