central nervous system axons fail to regenerate after spinal cord injury (sci), partially due to the accumulation of extracellular matrix molecules in the lesion and formation of the glial scar. depakine, as known as histone deacetylase inhibitor, has neuroprotective effects. this study evaluated the histological changes (cavitation and axon regeneration) after sci associated with (following ad...

The Key Role of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Testicular Torsion: A Review Their Induction Rat Model

objective: asthma is an airway complex disease defined by reversible airway narrowing and obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of brassica napus l. (b. napus) on airway pathologic changes in a rat model of asthma. materials and methods: twenty-four rats were divided into 4 groups: contr...

Antimicrobial Effects of Aqueous and Hydro-Alcoholic Plantago psyllium leaf extracts on the Experimental Infection Helicobacter pylori in a Rat Model

Background and Objective: Uterus of rat with polycystic ovary (PCO) may show pathological features. We provided pathological evidence for the rat uterus with NO-induced PCO.    Materials and Methods: Wistar rats (weighing 200-250 g) were kept diestrous to receive L-arginine (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 9 days/once a day. Control group solely received saline (1 ml/kg, 9 days/once per ...
