humans suffer transient or persistent starvation due to a lack of food intake, either because of fasting, voluntary dieting, or due to the scarcity of available food. at the cellular level it is possible to possess pathological starvation during ischemia and solid tumors. blood provides many nutrients to our cells, and researchers provide these nutrients to cells in culture in the form of enric...

the present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of methanolic extract of ervatamia coronaria leaves (apocynaceae) in various systems. dpph radical, superoxide anion radical, nitric oxide radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays were carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the extract. the antioxidant activity of methanolic ex...

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

In a previous study, an in vitro cell-free assay of translation inhibition by H-2 toxin, HT-2 and deoxynivalenol using commercially available kit was developed. They showed significant the system. For further evaluation, I examined three additional modified compounds, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside, this study. 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol inhibited as we...

salvia chorassanica bunge is one of the iranian endemic species of salvia. there is not any reported literature on s. chorassanica. this study was designed to examine the in-vitro anti-proliferative and proapoptotic effects of the methanol extract of s. chorassanica and its fractions on hela cell line. cells were cultured in ex-cell®, an animal free medium specially designed for hela cell line ...

Background: Evaluation of cell viability is momentous in pharmacologic and oncological research. Cell viability evaluation determines cell sensitivity and consequently treatment outcome. Various methods are available to determine cell survival. Each of these methods evaluates different endpoints. Accordingly, determining the correlation between these methods is important. In this study, in orde...

Background and objectives:The plants of genus Artemisia (Asteraceae) have been conventionally used for prevention and medication of a number of ailments. In the present research, ten extracts with different polarities from aerial parts of two Artemisia species, A. kopetdaghensis and A. turcomanica were evaluated for their potential anti-malar...

Objective: Ionizing radiation produces free radicals which induce DNA damage and cell death. Origanum vulgare leaf extract (OVLE) is a natural compound and its capability of scavenging free radicals and its antioxidant activity have been demonstrated by many researchers. In this study, using micronucleus assay, radioprotective effect of OVLE against clastogenic and cytotoxic effect of gamma irr...

results apoptosis induced by pa in ins-1 cells was significantly resolved after liraglutide treatment. simultaneously, autophagy was enhanced with the treatment of pa and liraglutide. conclusions: liraglutide appears to protect ins-1 cells from apoptosis ffa-induced by promoting autophagy. conclusions these findings provide a novel role for glp-1 analogue in preventing or treating with t2d. obj...
