The effect of tannery wastewater on the biochemical constituents of fresh water bivalve, Lamellidens marginalis was studied. The acute toxicity study was carried out to determine lethal concentration. Bivalves were exposed to different sublethal concentrations of tannery wastewater for 10 and 20 days. The biochemical changes in the protein, glycogen, lactic acid and cholesterol, in the tissues ...

obesity is accompanied with renal dysfunction, so renal impairment is more prevalent in obese people. renal function can be assessed via markers such as cystatin c (cys c), creatinine (crn) and glomerular filtration rate (gfr). as the effect of exercise training on renal function has been less investigated, this study aimed to study the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training and 10 days of d...

objective: pimpinella anisum (p. anisum) has different pharmacological properties such as anticonvulsant, analgesic, tranquilizer, antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects. in this study the antidepressant-like effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. anisum fruit in mice was investigated. materials and methods: forced swimming test (fst) and tail suspension test (tst) were used to determi...

Acute hemodynamic changes induced by two beta-blocking agents, bunitrolol and propranolol, in patients with ischemic heart disease were studied. Besides possessing negative chronotropic and inotropic effects which were demonstrated by decreased heart rate (HR), cardiac index (CI) and double product (DP) of the heart, propranolol significantly increased systemic vascular resistance (SVR, 12%, p ...

Background: This study was conducted to investigate whether vitamin C can protect against plasma biochemical changes induced by lead poisoning in Cyprinus carpio. Methods: Three groups of common carp (n=30/group) were used in this study. Group 1 served as control, Group 2 was exposed to lead acetate (5 mg/L) for 15 days, and Group 3 received vitamin C (500 mg/kg) during the same duration of ...

when a child presented with decreased level of consciousness in the emergency room, taking the right approach is one of the most important skills that every emergency physician should have. ideally, there should be a defined diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm in the emergency room for managing these children in order to minimize difficulties diagnostically and maximize time spent helping the ...

This study evaluated the in vitro effects of 62.5 µg/mL silica nanoparticles (SiO NPs) on MRC-5 human lung fibroblast cells for 24, 48 and 72 h. The nanoparticles' morphology, composition, and structure were investigated using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction. Our study showed a decreased cell viability and the induction ...
