Background: The present study investigated the protective effect of C. myxa extract on the liver biochemical and histologic changes induced by cadmium chloride (CdCl2) in adult male rats. Methods: We used 48 adults male Wistar rats, divided into 6 groups of 8. Control group received water and normal food. Sham group 1 received 2 mg/kg of CdCl2 for 35 days intraperitoneally. In Addition, Sh...

UNLABELLED During the past decade, evidence has emerged that statins have neuroprotective effects. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin on learning and memory in rats with diazepam-induced amnesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Experiments were carried out on 48 white male Wistar rats, divided into 6 groups, each of 8 rats. The experimental animal...

Background: Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide, and it poses numerous health risks to the environment and living organisms. This study aimed at assessing the protective role of Adansonia digitata (A. digitata) on glyphosate-induced hepatorenal toxicity in a Wistar rat model. Methods: Twenty-five rats were randomly divided into five groups of five animals each. The first group did not...

we present unusual retained remnants of hidden conjoined twin of possible abdominal pagus after 21 years who presented with abdomenpain and incidentally have found his forbidden conjoined twin. he presented for many years with a palpable epigastric mass, and recent abdominal pain, early satiety, nausea and vomiting. the mass was a like deformed fetus weighing 815 gr who was anencephalic and dep...

Introduction: Cadmium chloride causes hepatic dysfunction. In the present study, the protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Alcea rosea aerial parts were investigated on the hepatic enzyme dysfunction induced by cadmium chloride in adult male rats. Method: In this experimental study, 54 adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups of 9 as follows; control group, sham group 1 re...

In the present study, we investigated the possible role of the dorsal hippocampal (CA1) dopamine D1 receptors on scopolamine-induced amnesia as well as scopolamine state-dependent memory in adult male Wistar rats. Animals were bilaterally implanted with chronic cannulae in the CA1 regions of the dorsal hippocampus, trained in a step-through type inhibitory avoidance task, and tested 24h after t...

Objective: In this study we investigated the effects of spearmint (Mentha spicata Labiatae) on the reproductive system, fertility and number of offspring in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: Adult Wistar male rats in one control (C) and three experimental groups (I, II and III) received 0, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg spearmint extract orally for 45 days, respectively.  Following this treatment, t...
