Background: Isoniazid is an important drug in first line of treating the tuberculosis disease. This drug can lead to damages in different parts of the body such as liver and testis. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium are the probiotics that have the important innate property that inhibit from passing of Isoniazid into the blood-testis-barrier. In point of spermatogenesis indexes whic...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding dietary soy protein and soy protein supplemented with methionine on lipids and lipoproteins content of blood in wistar rats. sixteen male and 16 female wistar rats with the initial live weight of 116 ± 6.3 and 115.8 ± 6.8 grams respectively, were fed by the isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing casein (20%), soy protein...

The effect of leaf essential oil of Hoslundia opposita (Vahl) on the haematological parameters of alloxan-induced diabetic rats was investigated. Forty-eight albino rats (Rattus norvegicus), of average weight 132.5 g, were randomly selected into normal and diabetic groups, each with four sub-groups. The rats were treated with 110 and 220 mg/kg body weight (b. wt.) of the essential oil. 14.2 mg/...
