introduction: recently depleted uranium is being widely used as anti-armour ammunition and at very high temperature, results in information of an aerosol of very small uranium oxide particles, which may be inhaled. it is alleged that these particles represent a new battlefield hazard because of the chemical toxicology and/or radioactivity. method & materials: male wistar strain albino rats were...

the present study was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of pimpinella tirupatiensis (pt) by assaying the activities of selective mitochondrial enzymes in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. diabetic rats showed a significant (p < 0.01) reduction in the activities of oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), malate dehydrogenase (mdh), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) and isocitr...

In this experiment, wheat plants were exposed to drought stress during seed development then we worked on the obtained seeds. The seed mitochondrial ultra-structure, and antioxidant enzymes in seedling were investigated after exposure to seed accelerated ageing. Drought stress during seed development induced some changes in mitochondrial ultra-structure. Encountering seed development to drought...

Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

chloroacetaldehyde (caa) is a chlorination by-product in finished drinking water and a toxic metabolite of a wide variety of industrial chemicals (e.g. vinyl chloride) and chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide). in this research, the cytotoxic mechanisms of caa in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated.caa cytotoxicity was associated with reactive oxygen spec...
