background: sepsis is a common clinical diagnosis. knowing the outcome of these patients is very important because it alerts the physicians. the goal of this research is to find an easy, inexpensive and accessible way for this purpose and to study the correlation between thyroid hormones and cortisol levels and the outcome of patients in sepsis. methods: in this study 55 sepsis patients were ex...

Background: Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with long-term damage in the structure and functions of female gonads, especially ovaries uterus. Inulin major component Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) roots leaves. used to prepare appropriate low caloric foods for diabetic patients maintain blood sugar levels. Aim: This work was mainly designed evaluate ameliorative role inulin extract on metabo...

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and garlic powder on mixed sex Cobb-500 broilers performance, serum antioxidant status, and serum thyroid hormones. Heat stresses were created by increasing ambient temperature to 32-34 ˚C from 12: a.m. to 16: p.m. during days 31-42 of the experiment. Blood serum samples were obtained from 6 broilers of each ...

Background: Naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg) exert an important role in mediating maternal tolerance to the fetus during pregnancy. During pregnancy the elevated number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) correlates with 17-b oestradiol (E2) level. The role of maternal hormones in successful pregnancy is well known. Maternal hormones through re-engineering of the maternal immun...

Estradiol (E2), estrone (El ) , progesterone, LH and prolactin concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay in blood plasma samples from parous ewes treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) or melengestrol acetate (MGA) orally, with MAP by intravaginal sponge, or progesterone by intramuscular injection. Treatment was begun on Day 10 of the estrous cycle and continued for 14 days. Bl...

Plasma ionized calcium, platelet cytosolic calcium (using the fura-2 method in gel-filtered platelets), parathyroid hormone (both the intact hormone and a midmolecule portion), calcitriol, and calcidiol were measured in 19 untreated male patients with essential hypertension and 19 age-matched normotensive male research subjects. Mean levels of platelet cytosolic calcium, parathyroid hormone, ca...

  Objective(s): Previous studies have shown that thyroid hormones are necessary for normal development of many organs and because of the importance of skin as the largest and the most important organ in human body protection in spite of external environment, the study of thyroid hormones effects on skin development is considerable. In this survey we have tried to study the effects of maternal h...
