abstract background and objective: it has been shown that oxidative stress increases in diabetes and it has an important role in its development and subsequent complications. thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise on oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and cardiac tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: twenty male ...

abstract background: childhood leukemia, the most common type of cancer in children and teens, is a cancer of the white blood cells. as antioxidants can promote immune system against all types of cancer, the aim of this study was to explore the metabolic regulation and anti-oxidative effect of sesquiterpen-rich extract of ferula asafoetida (fa) on children with leukemia. materials and methods: ...

background and objective: in this research, the effect of chronic dietary soybean aqueous extract on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats was investigated. materials and methods: stz-diabetic rats were treated with soybean aqueous extract for two months after diabetes induction. contractile reactivity to kcl and phenylephrine (pe) and relaxation response to acetylcholine (ach...

This paper reviews the potential role of honey as a therapeutic antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress and improve cognitive ageing. All articles indexed to PubMed Central (PMC) were searched using the following key words: honey, antioxidant, memory and ageing. Honey is a natural insect-derived product with therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional values. Antioxidant properties of honey quench bi...

microspore culture was applied to induce embryogenesis in roses (rosa hybrida) cv. hav1. important factors affecting viability of isolated microspores and formation of multi-cellular structures including isolation media (nln, ab, b) and induction media were studied. the most responsive developmental stage of microspores (late unicellular) was determined using dapi staining. the least infection ...

background : periodontal disease is a common oral disease, which oxidative stress plays an important role in its pathogenesis. the onset and progress of this disease is influenced by balance between oral biofilm and host response. regarding with the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and reduction of total antioxidant capacity in patients with periodontal diseas...

background and aim: post-traumatic stress disorder is one of the anxiety disorders which occur in postpartum period. the prevalence of ptsd – induced by preeclampsia has been already reported as 28%, however no study was found to compare ptsd in primiparous and multiparous women. this study was therefore conducted to compare ptsd in primiparous and multiparous women. methods: this comparative d...

Objectives: Cardiotoxicity is considered the primary cause of death in aluminum phosphide (ALP)-poisoned cases. Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric, is a potent protective polyphenol compound against cardiac diseases including cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to examine the probable cardioprotection potential of nanocurcumin in a rat model of ALP-induced cardiotoxicity. Methods: T...

glutathione, considered to be the master antioxidant (ao), is the most-important redox regulator that controls in therapeutic considerations for the adjunctive use of glutathione in management of periodontitis, in limiting the tissue damage associated with oxidative stress, and enhancing wound healing cannot beunderestimated, but need to be evaluated further through multi-centered randomized co...
