Laboratory rat strains descend from Wistar rats as a consequence of artificial selection. Previously we reported that the medial posterior division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTMP) was sexually dimorphic in Wistar and Long-Evans strains while the medial anterior division (BSTMA) and the locus coeruleus (LC) only showed sex differences in the ancestor Wistar strain. The lateral...

Abstract Objectives The number of studies examining the circulating level change betatrophin and cartonectin in metabolic syndrome applying different loads exercise is limited. purpose present study was to investigate how exercises regulate levels induced rats. Methods A total 24 Wistar-Albino male rats were used study. Rats divided into four groups as follows; G1: control group (fed with stand...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties Senna siamea and their effects on sports performance in rats. A total 15 male Wistar rats were used divided into 3 groups. GrpEDSE GrpED+Entr groups each subjected 7 mL/kg distilled water by body weight, then GrpSS+Entr group treated with 300 mg/kg weight aqueous extract leaves. Rats belonging GrpED+Entr, swimming for fiftee...

Andrographis paniculata has been used as a traditional medicine and a predominant constituent in 26 Ayurvedic formulations over the last two decades. Its impact on the male fertility is a controversial from the past few years. In the present study we have investigated the antioxidant enzyme status and the indices of lipid peroxidation in the testis and epididymis of male wistar rats. Male wista...

In order to clarify which species of cytochrome P-450 is involved in activation of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) in untreated rat liver, strain and sex differences in the ability of rat liver 9000 g supernatant (S-9) to mutagenically activate BP was investigated using Ames test. The numbers of histidine revertants in Ames test after pre-incubation of TA 98 strain of Salmonella typhimurium and BP with liv...

For better understanding of pathophysiological processes leading to increased retention of sodium as a consequence of hyperlipidemia, the properties of renal Na,K-ATPase, a key enzyme involved in maintaining sodium homeostasis in the organism, were studied. Enzyme kinetics of renal Na,K-ATPase were used for characterization of ATP- and Na(+)-binding sites after administration of fish oil (FO) (...

INTRODUCTION Earlier studies have shown that sildenafil may modify some aspects of male rat sexual behavior and sexual incentive motivation. Stimulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has also been reported to affect sexual motivation in old rats. AIM To determine the effects of sildenafil and a compound stimulating eNOS on copulatory behavior and sexual incentive motivation in y...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects maternal administration lead acetate on morphological structure liver; AST, ALT, ALP and GGT levels glycogen content hepatocytes male offspring wistar rats. Female rats were exposed 0.2% in drinking water performed their (7 groups). To evaluate liver enzymes, blood samples taken from after anesthesia. After dissection, its hepatocyte...

Banana peel and pineapple contain potassium which may be developed into health supplements. The development of banana peels as ingredients for supplements must meet safety aspects that can proven by subchronic toxicity tests. This test aimed to determine the effect repeated administration a combination extract 28 days on liver, kidney, lung, heart, spleen index Wistar rats. research used male f...

Objectives : The aim of this research is to examine the effects fructose-drinking on plasma levels appetite-regulating hormones insulin, leptin and ghrelin in male female rats. Methods Mature Wistar rats were divided as follows: two control groups - (CM) (CF); (FDM) (FDF), received 15% fructose solution. experiment lasted 11 weeks. At end, well lipid glucose profile assessed. Results Plasma con...
