resistance of the weanling rat to acetaminophen (ap ap)-induced hepatotoxicity is manifested with regard to a surge in apap-glutathione (osh) conjugate formation in the liver [allameh et al. mech aging dev 95(1997)71]. the present study was conducted to assess the role of this detoxification pathway in apapinduced lipid per6xidationin the liver. lipid peroxidation measured as thiobarbituric aci...

Objective(s):Hypoxia induces cellular oxidative stress that is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Here, the protective effects of ferulic acid (FA) on hypoxia-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells were evaluated. Materials and Methods:We investigated the effect of FA on PC12 cells subjected to hypoxia stress, in vitro. Results:FA increased cell viability, prevented membrane damage (LDH r...

OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to examine the effect of oxidant on lipid peroxidation and lethal cell injury in rat liver slices. METHODS t-Butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) was employed as a model of an oxidant. The lipid peroxidation and lethal cell injury were estimated by measuring the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, respectively. RESULTS t-BHP...

Background: Exposure of potato tubers to light causes accumulation of glycioalkaloids in the tubers and overdose of glycoalkaoids are associated with some toxicity. This study aims to investigate the effect of consuming sunlight exposed tubers of Irish potato on some selected tissues of rats. Methods: Freshly harvested tubers of Solnum tuberosum were purchased from a farmland and were randomly ...

Objective Imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and total antioxidant capacity in testis, epididymis, and seminal fluid can eventually lead to subfertility and infertility. Abnormal chromatin packaging, and DNA fragmentation is considered as the main underlying causes. In this regard, we aimed to assess relationship between sperm parameters with DNA damage, protamine def...

background: lipid peroxidation is known to cause various impairments to sperm cells and may play a major role in the etiology of male infertility. asthenospermia is the main factor of male infertility and has significantly higher level of peroxidation than in normozoospermic males. materials and methods: using thiobarbituric acid (tba) assay procedure, we have determined the level of lipid pero...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin as an antioxidant on spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats. Thirty-two male white Wistar rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were divided into four groups, randomly: control, melatonin, diabetic and melatonin-treated diabetic. Experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg kg-1 streptozotocin. Melatonin...

Background: Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by mobile phones and wireless communication systems has been reported to cause adverse effects on reproductive function, vision and hematological parameters, possibly through oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFW generated bybase transceiver station BTS on oxidative stress in testis, eye and erythrocyte, and th...

Reactive oxygen species cause to release of dormancy in many plants such as sunflower seeds. This study investigated in order to evaluation role of reactive oxygen species germination and lipid proxidation in sunflower seeds. This study was performed in two separate experiments, each in a completely randomized design with factorial design with four replications.  In both experiments, uses from ...

conclusions ehp was able to both reduce ldl-ch and to significantly decrease markers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation induced by hyperlipidemia. therefore, this herb, as a new pharmacological component, could be used to reduce certain blood lipids, lipid peroxidation, and aminotransferase markers. materials and methods thirty-two male rats weighting 200 ± 10 g were randomly divided in...
