Many soils are contaminated by heavy metals, with arsenic posing serious environmental threat. Enrichment of soil with phosphate is believed to reduce the arsenic toxicity. However, only a few attempts have already been conducted towards understanding the precise role of phosphate in controlling As toxicity. Moreover, there is no adequate information on the effect of phosphate on As-induced...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

Background: Recently, it has been revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) act through inducing both oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. However, ER stress signaling triggers both apoptotic and survival processes within cells. Nevertheless, mechanisms by which TKIs avoid the pro-survival effects are not clear. The aim of this study was to ev...

enhanced oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diaetic complications. in this article, the stress oxidative generation has been studied in experimental diabetes by ferric reducing ability of plasma assay, a sensitive and simple method, and by other oxidative damage markers. the ferric reducing ability of plasma values as a total antioxidant capacity were si...

supplementation has beneficial effects in immune system and can antioxidant enzymes activity increases during the exercise and protects the tissue against the oxidative stress. l-carnitine is a famous supplement and helps to protect against the oxidative stress during and after intense or prolonged exercise. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of l-carnitine supplementation on t...

Oxidative stress after major surgeries is associated with the development of poor clinical outcomes including delayed wound healing and increase in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) length of stay. Due to the growth and development phase in childhood, the change in the levels of oxidative stress and inflammation is of high importance in these patients. Notably, the acute metabolic stress whi...

objective(s):the present study was undertaken to determine the effects of acute exposure to malathion on oxidative stress and cytotoxic potential of anticholinesterase insecticide, malathion in reproductive toxicology of adolescent male mice. materials and methods: thirty two adolescent male mice at pubertal age were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight (bw) of malathion for three days. after exp...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of regular exercise in preventing diabetes complication in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rat. materials and methods a total of 48 male wistar rats were divided into four groups (control, control exercise, diabetic and diabetic exercise). diabetes was induced by injection of single dose of stz. exercise was...

background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...
