a b s t r a c t introduction: even today there is no effective drug therapy to prevent neuronal loss after brain stroke. in the present study we studied the effect of mitochondrial katp channel regulators on neuronal ultrastructure after ischemia reperfusion in the rat. materials & methods: rats temporarily subjected to four vessels occlusion for 15 minutes followed by 24 hours reperfusion with...

Background: To achieve multiple oocytes for in vitro fertilization, ovulation induction is induced by gonadotropins however, it has several effects on oocytes and embryo quality and endometrium receptivity. The aim of this study was to assess ultrastructural changes of corpus luteum after ovarian induction using human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) during l...

This symposium honors Prof. Gérard T. Simon, a respected colleague in the field of ultrastructural pathology. Though he distinguished himself during the several decades of his career as an outstanding diagnostician, laboratorian, and investigator, he is perhaps best known as an educator and evangelist for the importance of electron microscopy, particularly for trainees. It is no surprise that t...

Objective(s) This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of diabetes on the structure and function of testicular tissue. Materials and Methods Diabetes was induced in male adult rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Body and testicular weight, hormonal analyses, histological and ultrastructural analyses were measured. Results The body and testicular we...
