background: designing the effective and early interventions can prevent progression of prediabetes to diabetes. few studies have shown the effect of flaxseed on glycemic control. this study aimed to assess the effect of flaxseed powder on insulin resistance (ir) indices and blood pressure in prediabetic individuals. materials and methods: in a randomized clinical trial, 99 prediabetic individua...

Introduction: In this study, Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanolic extract of the endemic plant, Zataria multiflora Boiss. have been studied. Method: The antioxidant potential of the samples was evaluated using two separate methods of inhibition of free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ammonium thiocyanate systems. Antibacterial activity wa...

Silver-cobalt nanoparticles are used in medicine. In this study, the effects of silver-cobalt nanoparticles on functional tests and liver tissue changes in adult male rats were investigated. 28 adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were divided into 4 groups of 7. Control group, Experimental group1 received 25mg / kg of silver-cobalt nanoparticles (AgCo NPs) in which silver nanoparticle (Ag...

The main objectives of this paper are to quantify and qualify changes in building airtightness on different time scales, identify factors that may explain the variations observed. A special measurement protocol, based ISO 9972 but with some additional requirements, was defined after a detailed literature review. For mid-term campaign, 30 new detached houses were measured once per year over 3-ye...

bone mass loss is one of the commonest menopause symptoms, resulting from cessation of estrogen production. compounds which have estrogen – like biological activity similar to “isoflavones” present in plants especially soy, may reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women, because as they are similar in structure to estrogens. this study, therefore, was undertaken to assess the effect of soy protei...

Coordination-driven self-assembly of binuclear half-sandwich p-cymene ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(2)(μ-η(4)-C(2)O(4))(MeOH)(2)(η(6)-p-cymene)(2)](O(3)SCF(3))(2) (1a) or [Ru(2)(μ-η(4)-N,N'-diphenyloxamidato)(MeOH)(2)(η(6)-p-cymene)(2)](O(3)SCF(3))(2) (1b) separately with an imidazole-based tetratopic donor L in methanol affords two tetranuclear metallamacrocycles 2a and 2b, respectively. Convers...

background: the mammalian ovary is controlled by a number of biological rhythms, which regulate the recruitment and release of mature oocytes. the main objective of this study was to investigate the role of cellular clock proteins during follicle maturation in the mouse estrous ovary. methods: immunohistochemical (ihc) studies were performed on ovaries from 50 estrous staged mice culled at two ...

The monoterpenes are the main constituents of most essential oils and p-cymene is a monoterpene commonly found in various species of aromatic herbs, which has been reported for anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antimicrobial activities. However, there is no report concerning its pharmacological activity on the vascular smooth muscle. The aim of current work was to investigate the effects ...
