background: free radical formation and oxidative stress might play an important role in the pathogenesis of parkinson's disease (pd). in vitro data indicate that neuromelanin (nm) pigment is formed the excess cytosolic catecholamine that is not accumulated into synaptic vesicles via the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (vmat2). we designed this study to investigate the neuroprotective eff...

the objective of present study was to investigate the effects of aqueous garlic extracts, vitamin e and n-acetylcysteine on lead-induced lipid peroxidation, changes in antioxidant defense system and semen quality in the rat testes. twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups. animals within different treatment groups were maintained on their respective diets for 35 days as follows: grou...

Introduction: Methotrexate as a single agent chemotherapy in most women with low risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) has been associated with high treatment rate. Combination of methotrexate with Vitamin A due to reduced number of chemotherapy regime courses is one of the treatment options for patients with low-risk GTN. Therefore, this study was performed with aim to determine the e...

The specificity of gentamicin for vitamin E deficiency-associated oxidative stresses in the renal proximal convoluted tubules is apparently related to its ability to increasingly facilitate generation of radical species in mitochondria. To determine the ways in which vitamin E manage the currently processes, we conducted a prospective study aimed to investigate the tubular preserving effect of ...

Background/Aim. We evaluate the impact of combined pentoxifylline and high-dose vitamins E to standard antiviral treatment on RBV-induced haemolytic anaemia. Patients and Methods. Selected 200 naïve chronic HCV patients, were randomized to receive either the standard antiviral therapy (peginterferon α-2b and RBV) plus pentoxifylline (800 mg) and high-dose vitamin E (1000 iu) daily (combined gro...

In the present study, we aimed to examine the potential protective effect of C. aurantinum L. peel extract against oxidative damage induced by hexavalent chromium in the heart of adult rats. Rats were divided into six groups. Group I served as controls and received standard diet. Group II received via drinking water potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) alone (700 ppm) during 3 weeks. Groups III and I...

14.00 800x600 introduction: oral intake of vitamins which present antioxidant characteristics can protect living organisms against oxidative damage caused by exposure to ionizing radiation. it was previously reported that administration of high levels of vitamin c can lead to increased dna damage through production of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide by the fenton reaction. however, our...
