Mechanism of most herbal used for diabetes mellitus treatment has not been well defined. This study was performed to investigate hypoglycemic effect walnut leaf (Juglans regia L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) or pomegranate seed (Punica granatum and their possible role on pancreatic tissue. Diabetes induced in 20 adult male Sprague Dawley rats the animals were divided into four groups; three them fed a diet supplemented with about 15 gram (60 g/ kg body weight /day) mentioned plants...

: Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid or ascorbate) is a biomolecule that participates in many biochemical processes. It an essential nutrient for humans, however, some species such as rodents and guinea pigs synthesized. has variety of functions the body we might venture to say make it very important antioxidant nature pro-oxidant. L-ascorbic acidic reduced form vitamin dehydroascorbic (DHA) oxidized ascorbate, both dihydroascorbic retain activity. Dehydro-ascorbate reconverted ascorbate cytosol by...

This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of maternal diabetes on fetal testicular structure and function, reproductive hormones levels. Sixteen female rats were divided into two groups. Diabetes induced in one group by alloxan. Blood collected from 90-day-old male offspring both groups, level blood glucose, testosterone, FSH LH their serum measured. Weight, volume various histological parameters testes determined. A significant increase glucose decrease LH, testosterone sera...

Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by base transceiver station (BTS) has been reported to make deleterious effects on reproduction, possibly through oxidative stress. This study was conducted evaluate the effect of RFW BTS stress in testis and prophylactic vitamin C measuring antioxidant enzymes activity, including glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA). Thirty-two adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups...

Herbal medicines are an alternative choice for treatment or controlling of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Effect hydroalcoholic extract flaxseed was evaluated on ovarian hormones and histological changes uterus in a PCOS-induced rat model.Twenty four rats divided into groups including negative control, positive PCOS groups. Positive control group received 30 days. induced by single intramuscular injection estradiol valerate. Treatment treated with 7 weeks after induction Ovaries were...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two doses cyclohexane extract walnut leaves on total homocysteine, lipids profiles, and indices oxidative stress including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) in diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection streptozotocin (50 mg/kg BW). Twenty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, group I: control (received sesame oil as...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex reproduction and endocrine disorder of women in the reproductive age. Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) has anti-androgenic activity flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum contains phytoestrogen was reported to improve PCOS conditions. This study aimed evaluate conditions following administration mixture these two plants.Twenty-four rats with regular cycles were randomly divided into four groups as control (C) treatment-control (TC) received combination...

Context: The deleterious effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiations occur through non-thermal thermal effects. Thermal particularly at long wavelength with heating properties increase temperature the tissue. are due to changes in structure functions cell membrane, genetic effects, extracellular /intracellular signaling pathways, oxidative stress. Objectives: Oxidative stress referring overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS) /or deficiency antioxidant defense mechanisms acts like a...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of radiofrequency wave (RFW)-induced oxidative stress in eye and prophylactic vitamin C on this organ by measuring antioxidant enzymes activity including: glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA).Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups treated daily for 45 days as follows: Control, (L-ascorbic acid 200 mg/kg body weight/day gavage), test...

Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by base transceiver station has been reported to produce deleterious effects on the central nervous system function, possibly through oxidative stress. This study was conducted evaluate effect of RFW-induced stress in cerebellum and encephalon prophylactic vitamin C theses tissues measuring antioxidant enzymes activity, including: glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA). Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were...

This study was conducted to evaluate possible alteration in the activity of arginase, an important enzyme cell proliferation and vascular smooth muscle contraction regulator diabetics, that may be correlated with low fertility diabetic patients. In this investigation, 6 apparently healthy adult male dogs were selected divided two groups, diabetics non-diabetics. Diabetes mellitus induced one group by intravenous (IV) injection alloxan (100 mg/kg). Dogs a fasting blood glucose (FBS) more than...

Endometriosis is one of the most common reproductive diseases women, with some important biochemical changes in serum. Curcumin was reported to have anti-endometriosis, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. This study explores serum levels Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125), leptin, resistin, homocysteine, total capacity (TAC) a rat model endometriosis effect curcumin treatment on these factors. Fifty female Sprague-Dawley rats (220-250 gr body weight) were randomly divided into control...

Prenatal and early postnatal are the most sensitive high-risk periods to expose electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This study aimed investigate effect of prenatal exposure 900 MHz radiofrequency waves (RFWs) emitted from a base transceiver station antenna on passive avoidance learning memory (PALM) hippocampus histomorphology. Female Sprague Dawley rats (190–230 g) were paired with males. The mated rats, confirmed by observing vaginal plug, divided into two groups; control exposed. group ( n =...

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate changes in testosterone and some the functional regulatory molecules testis such as P450scc, steroidogenic acute protein (StAR), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1α (IL-1α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) nerve growth factor (NGF) following exposure 900 MHz radio frequency (RF). Thirty adult male Sprague Dawley rats (190 ± 20 g BW) were randomly classified three equal groups, control (sham, without any exposure), short-time (2 hr) (STE)...
