objective(s):the present study was undertaken to determine the effects of acute exposure to malathion on oxidative stress and cytotoxic potential of anticholinesterase insecticide, malathion in reproductive toxicology of adolescent male mice. materials and methods: thirty two adolescent male mice at pubertal age were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight (bw) of malathion for three days. after exp...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of regular exercise in preventing diabetes complication in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rat. materials and methods a total of 48 male wistar rats were divided into four groups (control, control exercise, diabetic and diabetic exercise). diabetes was induced by injection of single dose of stz. exercise was...

background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

zno nps (zinc oxide nanoparticles) has generated significant scientific interest as a novel antibacterial and anticancer agent. since oxidative stress is a critical determinant of zno nps-induced damage, it is necessary to characterize their underlying mode of action. different structural and physicochemical properties of zno nps such as particle surface, size, shape, crystal structure, chemica...

objectives we aimed to investigate whether there is renal injury and its relationship with oxidative stress after intraperitoneal injection of α-ama in mice experimental poisoning models. materials and methods there were 37 male balb/c laboratory mice treated with α-ama, according to the study groups: control group (n = 7); low dose (0.2 mg/kg) (n = 10); moderate dose (0.6 mg/kg) (n = 10), and ...

many studies indicate that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. oxidative stress can induce neuronal damages, modulate intracellular signaling and ultimately leads to neuronal death by apoptosis or necrosis. to review antioxidants preventive effects on oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases we accumulated data from international medical jou...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

background: the present study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effects of royal jelly (rj) on oxymetholone (oxm)-induced oxidative liver injuries in mice. methods: in total, 32 adult male nmri mice were divided into four groups of eight mice each. mice in groups 1 and 2 were orally administered 5 mg/kg/day oxm for 30 days. at the same time, mice in group 3 received rj at a...

conclusions with regard to the potent antioxidant properties of silymarin, the neuroprotective effects of this natural compound suggested in the current study may in part be mediated through inhibition of oxidative stress. results exposure to acr reduced cell viability in pc12 cells. pre-treatment of cells with silymarin (100 µm) significantly reduced acr-induced toxicity. in addition, administ...
