Objective(s):The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of acute exposure to malathion on oxidative stress and cytotoxic potential of anticholinesterase insecticide, malathion in reproductive toxicology of adolescent male mice. Materials and Methods: Thirty two adolescent male mice at pubertal age were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight (BW) of malathion for three days. After ex...

background thermal injury is associated with several biochemical and histopathological alteration in tissue. analysis of these objective parameters in research and clinical field are common to determine healing rate of burn wound. negative pressure wound therapy has been achieved wide success in treating chronic wounds. this study determines superficial burn wound healing with intermittent nega...

an experiment was conducted to determine the aging mechanism in safflower seed using natural aging treatment (storing seed at room temperature for six years) and accelerated aging ( incubating the seed at 41?c and close to 100% relative humidity for 4 ,8 and 12 days). the results indicated that both natural and accelerated aging reduced germination percentage, seed vigor and activity of catalas...

background: the relationship between the high activity of aldose reductase (ar) and diabetic cataract formation has been previously investigated. the purpose of the present study was to determine the preventing effect of melatonin on streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic cataract in rats. methods: 34 adult healthy male sprague-dawely rats were divided into four groups. diabetic control and diab...

This study was carried out to investigate the capacity of chitosan and wheat bran to protect against high fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (average body weight of 120-150 g) were randomly assigned to six groups (n=6 rats/group) and fed on one of the following experimental diets: (i) basal diet, negative control; (ii) basal diet...

Background: Tubal ligation is one of the most common contraceptive methods in the world. Some researchers believe that tubal ligation has complications. It is assumed oxidative stress can produce these complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress and ovarian function after tubal ligation. Materials and Methods: In this study, female rats (weighting 200-250 g) were divid...

Two hundred and fifty female Swiss albino mice were used to study the ability of Egyptian propolis to protect methotrexate induced dysfunction to liver and kidneys of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). They equal divided into 5 groups: 1 kept as negative control, 2 were implanted intraperitoneally with 2.5×10 EAC and kept as positive control and, 3 implanted intraperitoneally with 2....
