Protective Effects and Mechanisms of Huangqi Decoction Against Radiation-Induced Bystander Effects

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: The 12C6+ heavy ion beam irradiation can cause bystander effects. The inflammatory cytokines, endocrine hormones and apoptotic proteins may be involved in 12C6+ irradiation-induced bystander effects. This study characterized the protective effects and mechanisms of Huangqi decoction (HQD) agains...

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: The present study investigated the possible protective effects of melatonin on Bleomycin, Cisplatin and etoposide (BEP) chemotherapy regimens using immunohistochemistry. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of ten as; group 1 as untreated control; group 2 as BEP group which recei...

Adult Rat Liver After Subchronic Acrylamide Treatment: Histological, Stereological and Biochemical Study

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: Acrylamide (AA) is a widely used chemical and an important monomer in various industrial and laboratory processes. In addition, AA is formed during processing of starchy food at high temperature. The aim of our study was to examine effects of subchronic AA treatment on adult rat liver using hist...
