the ethyl acetate partition of dried methanolic extract of aerial parts of euphorbia microsciadia (euphorbiaceae) afforded three pentacyclic triterpenes, betulinic acid (1) from lupane type, oleanolic acid (2) from oleane type and ursolic acid (3) from ursane type triterpenes that are reported for the first time in this plant. these three compounds were structurally compared through their mass ...

objective: diabetes mellitus type 2 is one of the most widespread chronic metabolic diseases. in most cases, this type of diabetes is associated with alterations in levels of some inflammatory cytokines and hormones. considering anti-inflammatory properties of plant extracts rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin e), anti-diabetic properties of these two well-known anti...

core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/tio2 (hpw/tio2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of hpw have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. characterization of the samples was carried out by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ftir). the x-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characteristic peaks of titania wi...

objective: an association between high homocysteine levels and proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy has been shown. on the other hand, supplementation with folic acid lowers homocysteine concentration. we have studied the effects of folic acid supplementation on proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients with overt proteinuria. materials and methods: forty five (29 men and 16 women) type 2 diabetic...

background: skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. in a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. in the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...
