introduction: tamoxifen is a nonstroidal antiestrogen prescribed for treatment of breast cancer. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tamoxifen on testosterone level in the serum and sperm count in the epididymis of adult male wistar rats. methods: three groups of rats received 200, 400 and 600 µg/kg body weight tamoxifen dissolved in solvent (60% ethanol in physiological solu...

Background & Objective: Breast cancer is the most common among women. One of effective treatments for breast chemotherapy, in which specific drugs destroy mass and its proliferation inhibited. Chemotherapy adjunctive therapy when multiple medications are used concurrently. Also, combining with nanocarrier has become an important strategy targeted therapy. This study designed to assess apoptosis...

Tamoxifen is the drug of choice as hormonal therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers and can reduce risk cancer recurrence. However, oral tamoxifen has a low bioavailability due to liver intestinal metabolic passes. To overcome this problem utilize potential its maximum, inorganic nanoparticle carriers have been exploited tested increase bioavailability. Biocompatibility unique magn...

Objective Tamoxifen is an effective anti-tumor medicine, but evidence has been provided on tamoxifen-related inflammation as well its impact gut microbiota. In this study, we aimed to investigate tamoxifen-induced microbiota and alteration. Methods We established a BC xenograft mouse model using the MCF-7 cell line. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used qRT–PCR, western blotting, cytometric bead ar...

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate combined effect of Thymoquinone (The main active component of black seeds) with Tamoxifen drug on apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells (Noninvasive human breast cancer cell line, estrogen receptor positive).
