objective(s):the aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative status and dna integrity in testes of wistar rat offspring exposed to omega-9 monounsaturated (mufa) at different times of late organogenesis. materials and methods:sixty female rats were divided into six groups of 10 animals. the first group served as control and received the drug vehicle, olive oil (1 ml/kg/day). the second, thi...

background: omega-3 fatty acids have established beneficial effects for cardiovascular disease. the use of omega-3 supplements for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was proposed. the purpose of this study was to review the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids intake and nafld. methods: in this study, the terms such as nafld, omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexanoic acid, an...

conclusions there was no difference between the effects of 2 g of epa or dha supplementation for 12 weeks on the levels of total cholesterol, ldl-c, hdl-c, tc/hdl-c, tg/hdl-c, and ldl-c/hdl-c; however, it had a desirable effect on the level of tg in a way that the effect of dha was clearer. results from 105 included patients, 97 (31 in epa, 33 in dha, and 33 in control groups) completed the stu...

phospho sulfonic acid (psa) synthesized as an environmentally safe and efficient solid acid catalyst, and it used for the synthesis of several 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles, 2-substituted benzoxazoles, and 2-substituted quinoxalines in ethanol as a green solvent at ambient temperature is described. (i) a very simple, green and efficient procedure for the synthesis of benzimidazole and also benz...

a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar spray of salicylic acid (0, 50, 100 ppm), ascorbic acid (0, 100, 200 ppm) and thiamine (0, 50, 100 ppm) on vegetative growth, flowering and photosynthetic pigments of marigold (calendula officinalis l.) plants at greenhouse of sb university of kerman, iran. results showed that application of salicylic acid and thiamine increased nu...

helicobacter pylori infection, the most common chronic bacterial infection in the world, and an important cause of gastrointestinal disorders, may be involved in the pathogenesis of some extra-gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as an increase in blood levels of certain inflammatory markers. anti-bacterial activity against helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty...

background & aim: turmeric, scientifically named (curcuma longa l.), a member of ginger (zingiberaceae) family, is a perennial plant, with pharmaceutical properties and with a rhizome. this plant has many medicinal characteristics including anti-cancer, anti-bacteria and anti-hepatitis properties. experimental: to study the effects of gibberellic acid and salicylic acid on leaf, the rhizome...

sulfonic acid-based precursors (sap) play an important role in tailoring mesoporous silica’s and convert them to a solid acid catalyst with a bronsted-type nature. these kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of saps can guide us to manufacture a sulfona...

the effects of a microbial inoculant (containing propionic and lactic acid bacteria) and formic acid onchemical composition, ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm) and nutrient digestibility of corn silage wereexamined. whole-plant corn was ensiled for 60 days in plastic polyethylene bags, and three treatments werecompared, 1: control (no additive), 2: propionibacterium acidipropionici plus l...

background and objectives: amygdalus with a number of endemic species grow vastly in iran. edible sweet almond (a. communis), is cultivated in many countries due to its pharmaceutical, nutritional and cosmetic importance; while almond oil which is rich in oleic acid is known for its economic interest. in the present study, the amount and constituents of oil of six amygdalus species including a....
