Introduction: Hydatid cyst is among parasitic diseases common between man and domestic animals, as well as domestic and non domestic carnivorous animals. This disease causes organ damage and injuries in human, and sometimes leads to death. This study aims at assessment of secondary hydatid cyst growth in laboratory animals and determination of their sensitivity. Materials and Methods: The Pr...

Background: One of the major factors affecting on male infertility is oxidative stress (OS). Two main sources of ROS production are leukocytes and spermatozoa. The ROS such as tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) may damage and fragmentate to sperm DNA, which can lead to complications in the offspring. In this study, we will investigate the effect of od on DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in sperm ...

Previously it was shown that male mice, when they encounter female mice or their pheromones, emit ultrasonic vocalizations with frequencies ranging over 30-110 kHz. Here, we show that these vocalizations have the characteristics of song, consisting of several different syllable types, whose temporal sequencing includes the utterance of repeated phrases. Individual males produce songs with chara...

Obesity has caused serious economic and health problems in the world. Gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem plays an important role preventing obesity. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects Ganoderma amboinense (G. amboinense) polysaccharide (GAP) on obesity-related characteristics high-fat-diet (HFD) mice, determine whether GAP treatment can regulate gut HFD-mice. extracted from...

Introduction: Morphine withdrawal syndrome is mediated via several central and peripheral neurological pathways. In the present study we investigated the role of N-methyl-D aspartic acid (NMDA) glutamate receptor on naloxone-induced withdrawal syndrome in morphine-conditioned mice. Materials and Methods: We designed two separate experiments. In experiment one, 30 male NMRI mice were divide...

Background: Prescription of the atypical antipsychotic drugs like as Sulpiride for the treatment of schizophrenic patients was increased because of their less side effects. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulpiride on hormonal milieu of adult male mice namely their serum level of prolactin and sexual hormones. Materials and Methods: 24 adult male mice were divided in three groups...
