this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...

zno nps (zinc oxide nanoparticles) has generated significant scientific interest as a novel antibacterial and anticancer agent. since oxidative stress is a critical determinant of zno nps-induced damage, it is necessary to characterize their underlying mode of action. different structural and physicochemical properties of zno nps such as particle surface, size, shape, crystal structure, chemica...

in this study the effect of nitric oxide synthesis inhibition on stress-induced gastric damage was evaluated in bile duel ligated, sham operated and unoperated rats. animals were injected intraperitoneally with ng-nitro-l-arginine methylester (l-name), 40 mglkg, l-argininc, 200 mg/kg or saline, 30 min before water-immersion stress. one hour after water immersion, the animals were killed and the...

conclusions regular consumption of various fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and beans, sprouts and seeds is an effective and safe way to meet all antioxidant requirements in physically active persons and athletes. results it seems that the best recommendations regarding antioxidants and exercise are having a balanced diet rich in natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. eviden...

standardization of induction of oxidative stress with fenton mixture (fm) in isolated perfused rat kidney and the antioxidant effect of terminalia arjuna bark in the isolated oxidatively stressed rat kidney has been evaluated. six groups each containing eight isolated perfused rat kidneys were used for the present study and the oxidative stress was induced by perfusing the isolated kidneys with...

Objective(s): To study the effect of acute and repeated stress on cardioprotection-induced by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC).Materials and Methods: RIPC was induced by giving 4 short cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, each consisting of five min. The Langendorff’s apparatus was used to perfuse the isolated rat hearts by subjecti...

background: acetaminophen (apap) overdose causes renal and hepatic injury. it is ‎also believed that oxidative stress has a pivotal role in apap-induced renal injury. ‎therefore, protective effects of different antioxidants have been examined in apap-‎induced renal and hepatic toxicity models. stevia rebadiana is a plant with a high ‎degree of natural antioxidant activity in its leaf extract. t...

microdialysis was used to measure the effect of benzodiazepines (bdzs) on basal levels and on stress-induced increases of 5 -hydroxytryptamine (5 -ht), 5 - hydroxyind oleacetic acid (5 -hiaa) , noradrenaline (na), and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (dop ac). the stressors used were a 5 min tail pinch or a 10 min period of restraint. a subcutaneous injection of 5 mg/kg diazepam decreased basal level...

Objective(s): Intracerebroventricular injection of orexin-A (hypocretin-1) antagonist has been shown to inhibit stress-induced analgesia. However the locations of central sites that may mediate these effects have not been totally demonstrated. This study was performed to investigate the role of rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) orexin receptor 1 in stress-induced analgesia (SIA). Materials and...
