Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the leading causes of death, illness, and economic loss in the world. The present study was attempted to evaluate extract of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and activities of amino transferase enzymes in streptozocin induced diabetic adult male rats. Materials and Methods: The effects of daily oral administration of...

Peroxides are often used as models to induce oxidative damage in cells in vitro. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of lipid peroxidation in peroxide-induced cell death. To this end (i) the ability to induce lipid peroxidation in C6 rat astroglioma cells of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) and t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) (ii) the relation between pero...

this study carried out based on a randomized completely design with 10 treatments geranium, eucalyptus and myrtus extraction, in 3 levels (2, 6 and 10 ml in 600 ml of distilled water) and control (distilled water) with 3 replications in 30 plots and each plot with 4 cut flowers. in this experiment traits such as vase life, water absorbtion, fresh weight, dry matter percent, petal protein conten...

in order to find a prophylactic supplementation for individuals who are at risk of exposure to ionizing radiation, we attempted to evaluate the effect of vitamin e (vit-e), a biological free radical scavenger, on restoration of hepatic lipid peroxidation (lpo) and lipid profile (lp) changes induced by sublethal g- radiation in balb/c mice. the concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipid were...

oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are the main suggested mechanisms for neurodegenerative diseases. in this study, we have evaluated the effects of epicatechin (ec) on mitochondrial damage induced by homocycteine (hcy) using isolated rat hippocampus mitochondria in vivo . ec (50 mg/kg) was gavaged daily for a period of 10 days, starting 5 days prior to hcy (0.5 μmol/μl) intra hippo...
