We investigated the effect of atorvastatin on vascular endothelial growth inhibitor (VEGI) expression in rats with diabetic retinopathy. Wistar rats were divided into a blank group and diabetic model group, which was further randomly divided into treatment and control groups. Rats in the treatment group received 10 mg/kg atorvastatin daily, while rats in the blank and control groups received no...

Objective: Cell aging is one of the most important and fundamental step in cellular behavior reduces muscle mass myofibrils. This study aims to investigate effect resistance exercise along with vitamin C consumption on expression Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) Telomere Repeat Binding Factor-2 (TRF2) genes diameter number skeletal myofibrils old male Wistar rats. Methods: an experimenta...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is common in the brain with age. Prevention of mitochondrial at an early age may protect against neurodegeneration later life. Tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) has been reported to be neuroprotective old rats, but its effect remains unknown for middle-aged animals. This study aimed determine TRF on activities respiratory chain complexes hippocampus rats. Male Sprague Da...

background: in some areas of ramsar, a city in northern iran, residents receive a much higher annual radiation exposure than is permitted for radiation workers. induction of adaptive response in residents of ramsar has been reported previously. in this study induction of such a response in short term exposure to high background levels of gamma radiation is investigated. materials and methods: f...

The effect of physical activity on biological functions can be either positive or negative influences. Severe increase oxygen consumption by 100-200 times compared to resting conditions. Increased use oxygen, especially muscle contracting, causes an in the number free radicals. This study aims determine maximum cholesterol levels white rats. research design was used experimental with a post-tes...

The present study investigated the effects of Vernonia cinerea (VC) on the reproductive function in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic male rats. Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: group 1, normal control rats; group 2, diabetic untreated rats; group 3, diabetic rats treated with VC (10 mg/kg); and group 4, diabetic rats treated with VC (40 mg/kg). ...

the aim of this study was to determine the effects of circuit resistance training with different intensities on plasma ghrelin and gh in non–athlete young women. for this purpose, 20 young women were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into four experimental and control groups. experimental groups were three groups who performed the protocol with intensity of 40% 1rm (group 1), %60 1rm (g...

Aging is associated with altered immune responses including dysregulation of cytokine production. Of cytokines, interleukin-1 (IL-1) family has been primarily involved with central nervous system. To evaluate the age-related different response of IL-1 family following peripheral administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), immunohistochemical study of IL-1beta and IL-1 receptor expression was pe...
