Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...

Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

crocin, a bioactive molecule of saffron can be purely isolated from the saffron extract. it has different pharmacological effects such as antioxidant and anticancer activities. morphine is an opioid analgesic drug. it is mainly metabolized in liver and causes devastating effects. it can increase the generation of free radicals. this study was designed to evaluate the protective role of crocin a...

objective(s):typhoid fever is a dreadful disease of a major threat to public health in developing countries. vaccination with bacterial immunodominant components such as surface proteins may prove as a potent alternative to live attenuated vaccines. invh, an important part of needle complex in type three secretion system (ttss) plays important role in efficient bacterial adherence and entry int...

       Polyphenolics form a major part of the dietary antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables have been identified as chemopreventive or anticancer agents. Hydroxychalcones are polyphenols abundantly distributed throughout the plant kingdom and are compounds with two aromatic rings (benzene or phenol) and an unsaturated side chain. In the present study, effect of phloretin (apple major fl...
