Radiation therapy has demonstrated promising effectiveness against several types of cancers. X-ray radiation can be made further effective by utilizing nanoparticles high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials that act as radiosensitizers. Here, in purpose maximizing the within tumors, bovine serum albumin capped gadolinium oxide and gold (Gd2O3@BSA-Au NPs) are developed a bimetallic radiosensitizer. In this study, we incorporate two high-Z-based nanoparticles, Au Gd, single nanoplatform. The...

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a significant role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. We investigated effects an antioxidant, carnosine, on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced renal injury rats. used four groups eight rats: group 1, control; 2, carnosine treated; 3, untreated diabetic; 4, treated diabetic. Kidneys were removed and processed, sections stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) subjected to eNOS immunohistochemistry. Examination by light microscopy revealed degenerated glomeruli,...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used drug for the treatment of cancer,but its clinical use limited by liver toxicity. Administering DOX with an antioxidant has become strategy preventing side effects DOX. Although selenium (Se) important trace mineral, data concerning effect Se on induced tissue are lacking. We investigated mechanism hepatotoxicity and protective different doses Dox damage. Female Wistar albino rats were divided into eight equal groups. was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) to...
