background: copper is a trace element vital to life, but the toxic effect of water pollution with it on fish is now exhibited. fish blood is susceptible to contamination-induced stress and its alternation due to the hematological and immunological parameters can be utilized as toxicity indices of xenobiotics. methods: in this study, juvenile species of silver carp with average weight of 200gr w...

diazinon is commonly used for pest control in the agricultural fields surrounding freshwater reservoirs. this study was conducted to determine the chronic toxicity of organophosphorous pesticide and its effects on some hematological parameters and biochemical blood plasma profiles of common carp, cyprinus carpio. diazinon was applied at concentrations of 60 and 120î¼g/l preparations in 10, 20 a...

Purpose: Several studies have been done on the effects of fasting on human health indicating the beneficial effects of fasting on weight control, lipid metabolism, and lowering blood pressure in healthy people. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of Ramadan fasting on apolipoproteins A and B (apo A and B) and the atherogenic index of the fasting and non-fasting students. Metho...

Effects of Cypermethrin and their reversal by Leucoverin following oral administration were evaluated in mice. Mature male swiss mice were orally administered cypermethrin (15 mg/kg body wt), leucoverin (50mg/kg body wt) or both daily for 4 weeks. At the end of fourth week, hematological & serum biochemical were studied. Subchronic exposure to cypermethrin significantly reduced, when the co-con...

abstract in respect to nano-technological studies and physiological and biochemical lesions of these materials on aquatic animals, in this study we examine the toxicity effects of nano-zinc oxide (zno nps) on hematological indices of common carp (cyprinus carpio). lc50 of nano zinc oxide was determined according to the mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, respectively. during separate experime...

background: the challenge of antiepileptic drugs (aeds) management is to attain the best compromise between the desire to maximize seizure control and the need to keep side‑effects within tolerable limits for the individual patient. to reduce devastation in iranian epileptic patients, the aim of this study was to explore the overall outcome following aeds prescription. methods: a cross‑sectiona...

introduction: cupping therapy (hejamat) is one of the therapeutic methods used in traditional medicine that it is still common in many of the contemporary societies. in spite of the progress of science, we have less information on the traditional and alternative medicine including cupping.   with the study of mechanism of action of cupping, it will be more convincing for the traditional medicin...
