Background: Menopause is a normal occurrence in the life of every woman. As the life expectancy of woman all over the world now increases, a woman has to spend almost 1/3 of her life in menopause years. Along with the increase in life expectancy the cardiovascular disease is increasing. Objectives: To study the association between oxidative stress and various cardiovascular risk factors in post...

Cypermethrin (αCyano-3-Phenoxybenzyl (+ cis, trans) 3-(2, 2-Dichlorovinyl)-2, 2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate) is an active pyrethroid which intensively controls a wide range of pests in agriculture and an ecto-parasiticide in humans and animals. It has moderate carcinogenic, mutagenic, immunosuppressive and hepatotoxic effects. It causes brain and locomotor disorders, polyneuropathy. The p...

BACKGROUND Fat-rich diet may alter oocyte development and maturation and embryonic development by inducing oxidative stress (OS) in follicular environment. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between fat intake and oxidative stress with oocyte competence and embryo quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In observational study follicular fluid was collected from 236 women undergoing assisted r...

This research was carried out as pod cultivation to evaluate effect of different level of zinc and cadmium on agro physiological traits of Maize via factorial experiment based on completelly randomized design with three replications along 2012-2013. The factors included different level of Zinc (Zn1=0 or Control, Zn2=15 and Zn3=30 mg.kg-1) and Cadmium (Cd1=0 or control, Cd2=10, Cd3=20 and Cd4=30...

BACKGROUND Cigarette smoke contains many oxidants and may alter the human reproduction by inducing oxidative stress (OS) in both active and passive smokers. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure on oxidative stress in the follicular fluid and the assisted reproduction outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS An observational prospective study was ...

The functions of two genes whose expression provides tolerance to aluminium (Al) stress were investigated using plants and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast): the Arabidopsis thaliana blue copper binding gene (AtBCB) and Nicotiana tabacum guanosine diphosphate (GDP) dissociation inhibitor gene (NtGDI1). To determine the localization of these proteins, each gene was fused to the green fluorescent ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antihypercholesterolemic effects of 50 mg/kg BW and 100 mg/kg BW per day of an ethanolic extract of Crotalaria juncea Linn (whole plant) by performing in vivo studies. METHODS The effects of oral administration of 50 mg/kg BW and 100 mg/kg BW per day of an ethanolic extract of Crotalaria juncea Linn (whole plant) in rats fed with a high-fat diet were investigated by ...
