Mesenchymal stem cells reduce left ventricular mass in rats with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Doxorubicin is a drug that used by a majority in the treatment of carcinomas. The most obvious known side effect is cardiomyopathy. Many studies have been carried out to eliminate side effects of the doxorubicin, and stem cell studies have been added in recent years. In this study, it was aimed ...

Seminal parameters and sexual behavior on farm rabbits provided with a diet supplemented with canola oil at the start of puberty

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: In order to evaluate the effect on sexual behavior and spermatic parameters of white New Zealand rabbits, at the onset of puberty, they were fed a standard diet supplemented with canola oil (obesogenic). Two groups were formed; one of which received daily 180 g of a standard commercial diet supp...

SUMMARY: Head trauma damages the optic nerve visual function and visual acuity.Effects of head trauma on the retina was investigated with biochemical, histological and immunohistochemical respects.The study was conducted on 30 rats with three groups: group 1 was control group (n=10). Second group was hea...

Protective effects of Tribulus terrestris hydroalcoholic extract against cisplatin-induced germ cell apoptosis in male mice

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Toxic effects of anti-cancer and other drugs on the normal tissues could be reduced by the herbal plants and their fractions. This study investigated the protective effect of Tribulus terrestris (TT) on Cisplatin- induced cytotoxicity germ cell apoptosis in male mice. In this experimental study,...

Neuroprotective effects of Ganoderma lucidum on spinal cord injury

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Traumatic injury to the spinal cord results in the delayed dysfunction and neuronal death. Impaired mitochondrial function, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidation occur soon after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), while the activation of compensatory molecules that...

Protective effect of quercetin on histomorphometric changes in kidney of retinoid acid-treated rat fetuses

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Retinoic acid, an active metabolite of vitamin A, plays essential signaling roles in mammalian embryogenesis. Prenatal rat fetuse exposure to retinoid induces some malformations in various organs, the most active and teratogenic metablolite is all-transretinoic acid (atRA). The teratogenic effec...

Focal adhesion proteins, vinculin and integrin β5, during early pregnancy in rat uterine epithelial cells: anastrozole favors their normal distribution

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: An alternative superovulator to replace clomiphene citrate is needed as clomiphene citrate is associated with low pregnancy rates. Anastrozole is an effective superovulator, but it has not been well researched. In order to determine the effectiveness of anastrozole as a superovulator and to comp...
