background: correlation between diabetes mellitus (dm) and oral lichen planus (olp) seems probable. since interleukin‑8 (il‑8) is an important inflammatory mediator involved in both conditions, this study aimed to measure and compare the serum level of il‑8 in dm, olp, and dm + olp patients in comparison with healthy individuals. materials and methods: this cross sectional study was conducted o...

background: deltamethrin (dm) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, and lead to apoptosis. there is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (oe) has anti-apoptotic effect. this study aimed at determining the dm toxicity and anti-apoptotic effect of oe pretreatment in cerebellar purkinje neurons. materials and methods: rats were randomly divided into four groups as f...

Background: Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which can lead to pathological effects in mammals through oxidative stress. On the other hand, virgin olive oil (VOO) is a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidants. The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effects of VOO against DM-induced hepatotoxicity. Methods: Thirty-six mice were randomly sep...
