Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF PIOGLITAZONE ON HEPATIC ULTRA-STRUCTURE AND METABOLIC CHANGES INDUCED BY A HIGH SUCROSE DIET IN RATSMohamed D. Morsy, Ahmed S. Khashaba, Ahmed I. Agamy, Refaat A. EidPioglitazone (Pio) is a PPAR-γ agonist insulin sensitizer has anti-inflammatory activity. Our novel aspect was to investigate its hepatic anti-inflammatory activity at the level of ultra-structure and enzymatic changes in a high sucrose diet animal model. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four equal groups: Control; control Pio; high sucrose diet; high sucrose diet Pio treated groups. Fourteen … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 6,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,076 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdiponectin Regulation in Type 2 Diabetic Rats: Effects of Insulin, Metformin and DexamethasoneTamer Ahmed Ismail, Mohamed Mohamed Soliman, Shimaa Ahmed IsmailAdiponectin is a protein synthesized from adipose tissue, increases peripheral glucose utilization in liver and skeletal muscle. Adiponectin expression and secretion are decreased during obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, the effect of insulin, metformin and dexamethasone on serum lipid profiles was examined in Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) rats. T2D was induced by feeding rats a high fat diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2013 · 7,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonstrous Hazards Produced by High Radioactivity Levels Around Assiut Thermal Power PlantHany El-Gamal, Mohamed El-Azab Farid, Abdulla Ibrahim Abdel Mageed et al.The natural radioactivity level of heavy oil, ash and soil samples around Assiut Thermal Power Plant (ATPP) in Egypt was determined using gamma ray spectrometry. The average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in fly ash were found to be 2307±143, 1281±80 and 1218±129 Bq kg-1, respectively, while the corresponding values in soil samples were 2670±107, 1401±78 and 1495±100 Bq … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 17 Sep 2013 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAqueous Stem Bark Extract of Spathodea campanulata (P. Beauv) Modulates Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Hepatic Damage in RatsCharles Ansah, Phyllis Elsie Dadzeasah, Emmanuel AsiamahThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective and curative potential of the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Spathodea Campanulata (SCE) in a carbon tetrachloride-induced model of hepatotoxicity in rats. Rats pre-treated with 625 mg kg-1, 1250, 2500 mg kg-1 or silymarin (50 mg kg-1) p.o for 3 days were intoxicated with CCl4 (1 mL … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 May 2013 · 9,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Phase Proteins, Lipid Profile and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Healthy and Bronchopneumonic Water Buffalo CalvesSabry M. El-Bahr, Wael M. EL-DeebThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of Acute Phase Proteins (APP), lipid profiles and proinflammatory cytokines in healthy and bronchopneumonic water buffalo calves. Therefore, sixty water buffalo calves (9±1 month old, 175±15 kg) were divided into two equal groups, the first group represented healthy, control, calves whereas calves of the second group were affected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural and Dielectrical Properties of Sterilized Human TeethMostafa Fawzy Eissa, Hassan Mohamed El-Shamy, Hassan Saad HanafyProblem statement: This study investigated the changes in crystallinity and dielectrical properties (conductivity) that could be demonstrated in extracted human teeth (enamel and dentin) subjected to γ-radiation at the sterilization dose (25 kGy). Approach: Twenty human third molar teeth were used in the study. Teeth were prepared so forty enamel and dentin samples were obtained. The samples were divided into … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGastroprotective Effect and Safety Assessment of Zanthoxylum Zanthoxyloides (Lam) Waterm Root Bark ExtractAlex Boye, George Asumeng Koffuor, Johnson Nyarko Boampong et al.Problem statement: Gastrointestinal ulcers account significantly for morbidity and mortality in Ghana. The study therefore investigated the gastroprotective effect of an ethanolic root bark extract of Zanthoxylum zanthxyloides and its safety for us. Approach: Gastric ulceration was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats with Indomethacin (25 mg kg-1, p.o) and was treated with 150, 250, or 500 mg kg-1 of the extract, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,499 accessesView PDFCite
