background: the extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf), mainly emitted by electric transmission lines and household electronic appliances, is becoming a worldwide health risk. it is imperative to investigate the biological impacts of elf-emf and to identify products that are resistant to the radiation from 50 hz elf-emf. in this study, we investigated the biological impacts of ...

background: renal ischemia reperfusion injury may occur in a variety of clinical situations, following a transient drop in total or regional blood flow to the kidney. this study was performed to investigate the protective effects of different antioxidants such as vitamin c, vitamin e, hydrocortisone and combination of these agents against experimental renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. method:...

The objective of this study was to investigate the propensity of permethrin (PTN) to induce oxidative stress and changes in enzyme activities in liver of rainbow trout and its possible attenuation by vitamin C. Forty-eight fish were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 treatment groups and their livers were used for liver perfusion method: control (0 μgL-1 permethrin and 0 mgL-1 vitamin C), PTN-0.16 (0....

six- to sixty months old children were studied in sirjan villages, divided into villages with or without a health house (hh). all the 893 children were medically examined and their food intake was assessed, using the 24-hours dietary recall method. ascorbic acid was determined in blood samples of 199 children. the results obtained are as follows: 1; the average vitamin c intake for all the chil...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute plyometric exercise with and without vitamin c supplementation on serum bdnf concentration in inactive men. in this semi-experimental study, 36 inactive men were randomly divided into four groups: vitamin+exercise (combination), vitamin c, exercise, and control. the exercise and combination groups performed the selected plyometric pro...

results the most frequent risk factors for hcv infection were intravenous drug abuse (59.3%), unsafe sexual contact (30.5%), and history of being imprisoned (25.4%). the prevalence rate of depression in the hcv group was 55.9 % (95% ci: 42.99% - 68.87%) that was significantly higher than the corresponding rate of the control group as 17.7 % ( 95% ci: 8.49% - 28.79%) (p < 0.001). the severity of...

Background and Objective: Acrylamide is a highly soluble, widely- produced industrial and cytotoxic material. Some substances with antioxidant properties can ameliorate the deleterious effect of acrylamide. Vitamin C is necessary for the normal functioning of all cells and scavenging the free radicals due to the antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of vitam...

BACKGROUND Regular intake of vitamin C/ascorbate reduces blood pressure (BP) in hypertensives. High-dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) achieves higher plasma levels; however, there is a paucity of research on acute BP effects. Our study is the first to investigate the effect of high-dose IVC, with or without concomitant i.v. nutrients, on BP during i.v. METHODS A cohort of adult patients schedu...

the objective of this study was to evaluate quality of frozen-thawed bull semen processed with extenders containing vitamin c and e as antioxidants. pooled semen's were collected from 5 bulls and diluted to a concentration of 30 × 106 sperm/ml with citrate –egg yolk (cey) or tris – egg yolk (tey) extenders. the diluted semen was divided to 5 aliquots including control and 4 experimental groups....
