Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multi-factorial condition associated with oxidative stress. Limonene, as plant-derived antioxidant, can be used for treating DM. Objectives: An investigation on antioxidant effects in diabetic rats exposed to D-limonene. Materials and Methods: Sixty male Wistar were categorized into six groups follows: control (healthy rats), (untreated sham glibenclami...

Plants in their natural habitat frequently face different biotic and abiotic stresses, which lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cell membranes, cause peroxidation deterioration macromolecules, ultimately result death. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), a class metalloenzymes, is primarily found living organisms serves as principal line defense against ROS. The SOD ...

The emergence of commercial wireless devices based on ultra-wideband radio technology (UWB-RT) is widely awaited and anticipated. UWB-RT is not only applicable to communications, imaging and ranging, it also promises to alleviate the problem of increasingly scarce spectrum resources while enabling new wireless applications and business opportunities. These prospects have caught the early attent...

In an RT experiment, subjects were asked to respond with minimal responses to prerecorded dialogs and a manipulated version of these dialogs that contained only intonation and pause information. Response delays and, especially, variances were higher to the impoverished, intonation only, stimuli than to the original recordings. It was also found that intonation only utterances ending in a mid-fr...

considering the high rate of epilepsy today, with respect to the insufficiency of the available therapies, new strategies and methods are recommended for medical treatment of epileptic patients. therefore, the present study experimentally investigated the anticonvulsant effect of a herbal medicine candidate brassica nigra, by using kindling method. sixty male mice were randomly selected and div...

Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidant to control the free radical reactions related to superoxide generated in biological system. However, its large molecule and short lifespan in vivo limit its clinical use. Extensive studies have been carried out to find the suitable SOD-mimics to substitute it. In order to acts as SOD mimics, a compound should be non-toxic, stable, easy to reach i...

PURPOSE Reactive oxygen- and nitrogen-containing molecules produced in high concentrations are mediators of tissue damage caused by inflammation. The free radical molecules superoxide (O2-*) and nitric oxide (NO*), when produced at low concentrations, may function as second messengers or regulators of signal transduction. The purpose of these studies was to determine whether corneal epithelial ...
