<i>Background/Aims:</i> The aims of this study are to assess the reasons using sphygmomanometers at pharmacies and evaluate their accuracy. <i>Methods:</i> 135 devices (118 aneroid, 1 mercury, 16 automated) from 125 (located in Samsun city center) were included study. A non-randomized, cross-sectional design was used for protocol which had two parts: assessment a questionnaire about pharmacy present sphygmomanometer(s). <i>Results:</i> 40 (30%) inaccurate....

The aim of this study was to examine Malondialdehit (MDA) level in salvia. amounts malondialdehyde that is the indicator lipid peroxidation were determined Salvias plants seeds. In present study, levels MDA mature seeds Salvia taxa [S. suffruticosa Montbret & Aucher ex Bentham, S. trichoclada multicaulis Vahl, candidissima Vahl subsp. candidissima, russellii verticillata L. verticillata, virgata Jacq., aethiopis L., ceratophylla L.] examined. amount seed by HPLC (high performance liquid...

Inhibition of fatty acid synthase leads to apoptosis in cancers, which high levels synthesis. This indicates that cancer cells depend on order survive. In this study, we investigated whether or not there was a relationship between the glial tumor grade and free level tissue.Twenty patients who had tumors 20 low tumors, were included study. Tumors samples obtained intraoperatively measure levels. The acids studied three groups: saturated acids, monounsaturated polyunsaturated acids. They...

Lemon juice has commonly been used by hypertensive patients in order to lower blood pressure (BP) acutely when BP is raised or as an alternative/complementary therapy for expectation of chronic improvement. Grapefruit, a citrus fruit like lemon, causes clinically significant interactions with variety drugs including calcium antagonists. The aims this study were investigate acute and effects lemon on among patients. Ninty-eight included prospective study. Patients using antagonists not the In...

Background: Leptin is important for the regulation of energy metabolism.Fatty acids are essential components all biological membranes and represent an form storage in both animals plants.In addition to leptin's central effects on appetite control expenditure, it has been shown have a strong influence fatty acid metabolism.Approach: This review summarizes recent knowledge leptin their roles biochemistry clinical chemistry.

To investigate free fatty acid levels and histopathological changes in the brain of rats fed a high fructose diet (HFrD) to evaluate effects Mucuna pruriens, known have antidiabetic activity, on these changes.The study comprised 28 mature female Wistar rats. The were divided into 4 groups, each included 7 Group 1: control; group 2: an HFrD; 3: normal rat chow M. pruriens; 4: HFrD pruriens for 6 weeks. At end weeks, decapitated, blood tissues obtained. Serum glucose triglyceride measured....

Leptin, which is adipocytes, secreted of the hormone, over food intake regulation, energy expenditure has also an important role in acting as neuroendocrine and metabolic function.itis interested glucose metabolism interacts with insulin metabolism.In addition to distrusting metabolism, leptin impairs endocrine, immune functions, reproductive function, adipose tissue order.Leptin exerts peripheral effects directly on gluconeogenesis.it obvious that deficiency or resistance responsible for...

We examined the effect of bosentan, an ETA and ETB receptor antagonist, on EEG, indicator neuronal activity, in rats with experimentally induced cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. The were divided into three groups seven each group. Before procedures, EEGs all recorded for ten minutes. 30 mg/kg bosentan 2 cc physiological serum was administered to first group, second third injected intraperitoneally. After administration, right left common carotid arteries animals Groups 1 clipped 10 minutes...

In this study, the changes in levels of fatty acids betweennewly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and control group were evealuated.In 16:0, 16:1, 18:0 22:6 Type found not to be statistically significant.The 18:2 acid lower than it was 18:1 18:3 significantly (p<0.05)compared group, 20:3 20:4 higher (p<0.001)compared group.

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine),the main secretory product of the pineal gland, is a free radical scavenger that has been found to protect against lipid peroxidation in many experimental models. In present study effect melatonin on long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids located rat. The most sensitive heart were monounsaturated eicosenoik acid (C20:1 n-6), arachidonic (C20:4 n-6) docosapenthonoic (C22:5 n-3) and docosahexanoic (C22:6 which compared with corresponding control values....

Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone.It has a suppressive effect on insulin release from pancreatic islets.In T2DM patients, hyperinsulinemia, lower ghrelin levels are observed.Total in fasting plasma were patients than nondiabetic patients.It was aimed to consider serum windows the patient and control.It observed that diabetes experiments general groups estimated be (262.37±129.29pg/mL),(487.40±53.81pg/mL)compared control group (p<0.001).Patient (27.39±11.06µU/mL)and settings...
