Testicular integrity is compromised during illness or infection leading to temporary or permanent infertility and studies have associated elevated nitric oxide (NO) with infertility. This study was designed to investigate the effect of inhibiting nitric oxide synthase on nicotine-induced reproductive organ decrease in male rats. Forty-eight male Wistar rats (160-180g) were randomly assigned to ...

Background: The achievement of an effective compound for prevention/treatment of hypertension with fewer complications has been of interest in recent years. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effects of L-citrulline pretreatment on the tension of isolated rat aortic tissues precontracted by different vasoconstrictors. METHODS: Sixteen male Wistar rats (300-350g) were randomly divided i...

objective: to investigate the anti-urolithiatic effect of aqueous extract of leaves of bryophyllum pinnatum (b. pinnatum) on ethylene glycol-induced renal calculi. materials and methods: thirty-six wistar male rats were randomly divided into six equal groups. group a animals received distilled water for 28 days. group b to group f animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol in distilled water for 2...

INTRODUCTION Borago officinalis flower (borage) is a known sedative in herbal medicine; the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antinociceptive effect of borage hydroalcoholic extract in formalin test male rats. METHODS Fifty-six adult male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups: Control groups of A (intact), B (saline), and C (Positive control) plus test groups o...

The aim of the study was to investigate effects chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on some hematological parameters, and define percentage alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) positive lymphocytes in rats that had been exposed cadmium (Cd). Thirty-two (n = 32) male Wistar albino were randomly divided into four groups as control (C), (COS), (Cd), Cd + COS (CdCOS) groups. Blood samples collected as...

Background: Skin burn is one of the most common complications throughout world. Olive derivatives have been used for treatment skin lesions in Iran. Oleuropein main constituents olive leaves. Objectives: The aim present study was to evaluate healing effects oleuropein cream on second-degree burns wounds a rat model. Methods: This experimental performed 72 male Wistar rats. Superficial were indu...

The interaction of electromagnetic fields (EMF) with living organisms presents an increasing source of interest nowadays. There are reports on the influence of EMFs on memory. In this study, the effect of a 50 Hz, 50G EMF was investigated on passive avoidance learning in male rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats (n = 50, 6-8 weeks, 250-300 g) were randomly divided into five groups. Control ...
