objectives: nigella sativa is a medicinal plant that has long been used in traditional medicine for treating various conditions. numerous animal studies provided evidences that the seed may elicit a broad anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant activity. the aim of the present clinical trial was to evaluate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of nigella sativa oil in patients with rheumatoid ar...

nitro-containing heteroaromatic derivatives structurally related to nitroimidazole (metronidazole) are being extensively evaluated against helicobacter pylori isolates. on the other hand, 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have also demonstrated promising antibacterial potential. in present study, we evaluated anti-h. pylori activity of novel hybrid molecules bearing nitroaryl and 1,3,4-thiadiazole ...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

background: selective phosphodiesterase (pde3) inhibitors improve cardiac contractility and may use in congestive heart failure. however, their proarrhythmic potential is the most important side effect. methods: in this research, we evaluated the potential cardiotonic activity of six new synthesized selective pde3 inhibitors (6-hydroxy-4-methylquinolin-2(1h)-one derivatives) using the spontaneo...

interleukin-12 (il-12) is a key cytokine involved in regulating the balance between th1 and th2 cells by promoting th1 response. a reduced capacity to produce this cytokine could lead to aberrant th2 development. on the same aspect significant impact of il-12 on invariant natural killer t (inkt) cells was reported. therefore, we examined the serum levels of il-12 and the absolute number of peri...

antioxidant effects of ethyl acetate fraction of mentha spicata (l.) were evaluated against 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide injected mice. for this study, experiment setup consisted of 36 albino mice of either sex divided into 6 groups: control (25% dmso in water), ethyl acetate fraction (eaf) alone group (80, 160 mg/kg body weight-bwt), 4-nqo (7.5 mg/kg bwt-ip) alone and 4-nqo + eaf. eaf and vehicles...
