Sulfur Mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent which was widely used in the World War I and more recently during Gulf war in the early 1980s'. SM is a strong alkylating agent with known mutagenic and carcinogenic effects but only few studies have been published on its teratogenicity. Since SM has been widely used as a chemical weapon by the Iraqi regime against the Iranian soldiers as well as ...

conclusions tachyzoite of toxoplasma and dna of this parasite were observed in sub mucosa and muscles of the uterus and in the villis of placenta, but not in histological sections of the fetus. therefore, histological and molecular results were consistent. background toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic pathogen. vertical transmission of the parasite occurs when females were infected prim...

introduction: decidua as the nearest mother's tissue layer to the fetus which is in direct contact with the embryo has an important role in composing the appropriate microenvironment for protection of allogenic fetus from mother's immune response. in this study the effect of supernatant from culture of decidual cells on dendritic cells regarding the induction of t-cell allogenic proliferation r...

Nesfatin-1/NUCB2, which is associated with the control of appetite and energy metabolism, was reported for the first time to be expressed in the hypothalamus. However, recent studies have shown that nesfatin-1/NUCB2 was expressed not only in the hypothalamus, but also in various tissues including digestive and reproductive organs. We also demonstrated that nesfatin-1/NUCB2 was expressed in the ...

SimunekJ., A. B. Siddique, E. Hegerova: Placental Transfer of Suljamethazine in Mice and Rats. Acta Vet. Brno, 47,1978: 145-151. Placental transfer of sulfamethazine in mice was investigated in the second half of their pregnancy. The transfer was not free but only a part of the drug administered to mothers was found to pass from the maternal circulation to the fetus. Placental transfer of sulfa...

Human clinical strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus colonized the gastrointestinal tracts of both athymic (nu/nu) and euthymic (+/nu) germfree mice (BALB/c). Viable Campylobacter spp. (10(9) to 10(10) CFU/g [dry weight] of cecum and colon contents) were isolated on day 3 after oral challenge, and similar large numbers of viable cells were evident at several inter...

background: the luteal phase defect is a common event following the ovarian stimulation. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of human chorionic gonadotropine (hcg) and progesterone hormones to improve the luteal phase defect. materials and methods: 60 mice were superovulated routinely with human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) (7.5u) and hcg (10u). the mice were mated and divided...

Although the biokinetics, metabolism, and chemical toxicity of methyl tert-butyl ether are well known, little attention was paid to the potential toxic effects of MTBE on reproduction and development in mammals. To evaluate the effects of MTBE on pregnant animals, two groups (control and test) of NMRI mice were chosen. In test group 500 and 1000 mg/Kg of it were administered intraperitonealy at...
