conclusions it can be concluded that the nettle extract can reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic mice, at least partly, by influencing the glut2 gene expression in mice liver. results the results showed that the nettle extract significantly decreased high levels of blood glucose (p < 0.001). the nettle extract also had a preventive effect on decrease in body weight. in addition, the results ...

objective(s): to appraise the antihepatotoxic efficacy of ethanolic extract of operculum turpethum root on the liver of swiss albino mice.   materials and methods:   hepatic fibrosis was induced in adult male albino mice through intraperitoneal administrations of n-nitrosodimethylamine (ndma) at the concentration of 10 mg/kg body weight. the liver toxicity and therapeutic effect of the plant et...

Abstract In this study, D-galactose was used to establish a model of liver dysfunction caused by oxidative stress in mice, and the effect dandelion on improving exercise capacity mice with observed its mechanism expounded. This study examined role running ability, swimming endurance, blood biochemical indices, histopathological changes, tissue mRNA expression changes. The animal results showed ...

Introduction: In many cultures fasting is recommended as a way to protect and promote health. However, there are few studies on the effects of fasting on organ function and resistance to toxic agents such as drugs. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of short-term periodic fasting on the acetaminophen hepatotoxic effects in mice. Methods: In this...

Quantum dots are new types of fluorescent materials for biological labeling. As a result, QDs toxicity study is an essential requirement for future clinical applications. Therefore, the cytotoxic CdSe:ZnS quantum dots effects on some organs in mice are presented in this study. In this work, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg doses of CdSe:ZnS quantum dots were injected to 32 adult male mice. Structural and op...

abstract since gasoil due to the aromatics of the most important environmental pollutants and is one of the oil with many applications. according to its damaging effects on living organisms and human beings, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gasoil on the parameters of liver, white rat race was albino nmri. the 40 mice in 4 groups, adult male mice were divided into con...

MicroRNAs has been shown to regulate lipogenesis in liver. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on lipogenesis is associated with the changes in the expression of two miRNAs (miR-107 and miR-10b) that regulate lipogenic pathways. 30 wild type C57BL/6j male mice were randomly fed three diets: a standard chow diet (ND), a high fat diet (HFD, 60%...

The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is highly expressed in the liver during development and diseases. However, its role pathology of remains to be explored. tissues EpCAM-/- wildtype (WT) mice at P0 stage were used for RNA sequencing. differently miRNAs, lncRNAs mRNAs selected confirmed by qPCR. expression metabolism-related gene SET domain bifurcated 2 (Setdb2) was significantly incr...
