the hydroxyl radical (oh•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. it can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. it can also recombine to form hydrogen peroxide which is very useful in water treatment. in this study, terephthalic acid (ta) and potassium iodide dosimetry were used to quantify and inve...

Background 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) VitD] deficiency is a highly prevalent condition, present in approximately 30% to 50% of the general population. A growing body of data suggests that low 25(OH) VitD levels may adversely affect cardiovascular health. The present study aimed to measure the serum levels of 25(OH) Vit D in Congenital heart disease (CHD) children compared to healthy children....

background: low serum 25-hydroxy vitamin d (25(oh)d) has been shown to correlate with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). the objective of this study was to investigate the association between serum 25(oh)d and glycemic and inflammatory markers in non-obese patients with t2dm. methods: eighty-four non-obese patients with t2dm were recruited in this cross-sectional study. demog...

objective(s): neuroinflammation in parkinson disease (pd) is associated with glial cells activation and production of different inflammatory cytokines. in this study, we investigated the effect of chronic administration of 8-oh-dpat on 6-ohda-induced catalepsy and levels of inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (csf).   materials and methods: catalepsy was induced by unilateral infusion...
