conclusions the results of this study showed that exposure to lead increased the activity of g6pd in the rat erythrocytes, perhaps resulting in an up regulation of the enzyme to detoxify lead. materials and methods in this study 14 albino rats were divided into two groups of seven animals. the treated group was exposed to 2% lead acetate in the drinking water during eight weeks. the control gro...

lead (pb), has, for decades, being known for its adverse effects on various body organs and systems. in the present study, the damage of pb on the liver tissue apoptosis was investigated, and lycopersicon esculentum as an antioxidants source was administered orally to prevent the adverse effects of pb. eighteen wistar rats, randomized into three groups (n=6), were used for this study. animals i...

Background: Trevo is a nutritional supplement with numerous bioactive natural products, with detoxifying and antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of Trévo to protect against oxidative stress induced by lead in the kidneys of male Wistar rats.  Methods: Thirty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of seven rats each, using a rand...

bone marrow is a primary source of various kinds of blood cells and, thus, is frequently used for evaluation of therapeutic agents. the influence of physical regular training and curcumin supplementation on the cellularity of the femur bone marrow was investigated in rats exposed to lead acetate. 48 the wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of the six groups include; 1)base, 2)sham-operate,...

LTA reaction of homoallyl alcohols derived from norbornyl alpha-diketones exclusively furnished the corresponding alpha-diketones via beta-fragmentation of the allyl group in refluxing benzene while changing the solvent to MeOH resulted in the formation of novel methoxy substituted spirocyclic tetrahydrofuran products.

BACKGROUND Lead remains a considerable occupational and public health problem, which is known to cause a number of adverse effects in both men and women. Conflicting reports have appeared on lead induced nephrotoxicity in experimental studies in the past. There is hardly any work on its teratogenic effects on kidney. Present study was therefore designed to investigate the effects of lead acetat...

Background: Lead (Pb) is one of the ubiquitous nonessential haevy metals in the environment. There are evidences, which show that lead toxicity has many undesired effects, including neurological, behavioral, immunological, renal, hepatic, male reproductive, dysfunctions. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of aqueous garlic extracts, vitamin E and N-Acetylcysteine ...
