Ozone may promote moderate oxidative stress, which increases antioxidant endogenous systems. There are a number of antioxidants that have been investigated therapeutically for improving peripheral nerve regeneration. However, no previous studies reported the effect ozone therapy on facial regeneration.We aimed to evaluate regeneration.Fourteen Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into two groups with experimental crush injuries: control group, received saline treatment post-crush, and an...

Alcohol-induced lung damage may be associated with increased oxidative stress.Our aim was to investigate alcohol-induced changes in the biochemistry and histopathology of lung.Rats were divided into two groups, a control group an ethanol group. The received 2 g/kg (total: 3 ml) intraperitoneally. controls given same amount saline via route. Three hours later, rats sacrificed, blood tissue samples obtained. Oxidative stress assessed by measuring levels erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH),...

Endometrial cancer is the most common of female reproductive system. Perifosine has shown anti-tumor activity in a variety cancers by inhibition AKT phosphorylation. The active metabolite vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties recognized as an agent with great potential for intervention. Combination treatment specific agents been widely used targeted therapy cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate anti-apoptotic effect varying concentrations perifosine...

Interferon-α has been used in various diseases at the reproductive ages. However, effect of interferon-α on testicular histology not studied literature. The aim this study was to investigate effects interferon α-2B including spermatogenesis a rat model. Seventeen adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into 3 groups: Six received 7.500 units (5 MIU/m2) (Intron), considered clinical treatment dose range. 30.000 (20 high dose. Five served as control group receiving 0.5 mL saline injection....

Abstract Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate electrophysiological, biochemical and ultrastructural changes on rat sciatic nerve after radiotherapy.Thirty male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups as: Control group (n = 10), Group I: 3 months radiotherapy II: 6 10). Groups I II irradiated with a (60)Co gamma source. A dose 20 Gy in 10 fractions applied II. Compound motor action potentials (CMAP) recorded all groups. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT)...

The nervous system is an important target of radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure since it the excitable component that potentially able to interact with electromagnetic fields. present study was designed investigate effects 1,800 MHz RF and protective role paricalcitol on rat sciatic nerve. Rats were divided into four groups as control, paricalcitol, RF, + paricalcitol. In groups, rats exposed for 1 h per day 4 weeks. Control kept under same conditions without application. given 0.2...

Endometrial cancer is the most common of female reproductive system. Combination treatment with specific agents has been widely used as a targeted therapy for cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects varying concentrations perifosine vitamin D on human endometrial cell line (HEC-1A). HEC-1A cells were exposed (10 μM, 30 μM), (50 nM, 200 nM) combinations both 48 h 72 h. Monitoring proliferation in time-dependent manner was performed xCELLigence...
