Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of B-Glucan Against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Induced Renal Toxicity in MiceAhmed Flayyih Hasan, Azhar Azher Alankooshi et al.Several studies have been focused on identifying alternative medicines for the treatment of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the impact of B-Glucans extract (BG) against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced toxicity and tissue damage in kidney. A total of 40 mice were assigned randomly to four groups (G1, control; G2, B-Glucans (75 mg/kg bw/day) orally for 2 weeks; G3, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2023 · 5,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Role of Chichorium intybus Extract Against Renal Toxicity Induced by Magnetite Silver Nanoparticles in Male RatsDoha M. Beltagy, Ehab Tousson, Nabiha I Abdo, Batoul M. IzzularabMagnetite silver nanoparticles (Fe3O4/AgNPs) symbolize a new candidate in several industrial and biological products for their activities, simple preparation and low synthesis costs. Many studies recommended the usage of Fe3O4/AgNPs to overcome lacking biocompatibility of AgNPs inside the body. However, Fe3O4/AgNPs also has toxic effects on kidney tissues. In this study, AgNPs was synthesized on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2021 · 6,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Lactoferrin against Chromium Induced Adverse Renal Changes in Rats: Oxidative Stress TheoryMohammed H. Hassan, Dorreia Abd-Alla Mohamed Zaghloul, Marwa Ahmed Mahmoud et al.Among the toxic metals, chromium (Cr) which is a naturally occurring heavy metal commonly enters the environment through the effluents from various industries. Kidney disease is often cited as an adverse effect of chromium. We aimed to assess chromium-induced pathophysiological adverse renal damage and determine the potential protective effects of co-therapy with Lactoferrin (LF) in male albino rats. Forty male … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 28 Apr 2021 · 6,663 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCopper and Zinc Serum Level in Patients Receiving HemodialysisRahim Raoofi, Hossein Hakimelahi, Mohammad Sadegh Sanie et al.Decreased kidney function can accumulate trace elements. Increased trace elements can have toxic features. On the other hand, studies are showing that concentration of some trace elements could be decreased in chronic kidney disease patients as well. Because these patients are at risk for alterations of trace elements, we measured serum level of zinc and copper trace elements in hemodialysis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 18 Aug 2015 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene. Genetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2015 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroscopic Study of the Lungs of Sprague-Dawley Rats from Various Ages of Postnatal and Aging PeriodsRia Margiana, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata PawitanPhysiological changes in postnatal and aging lung are associated with a variety of microscopic changes in the lung, especially the alveolar lung tissue, both in the interstitial and epithelial component. Interstitial tissue of the lung will increase in thickness that is supposed to be due to changes in fiber composition, particularly collagen. However, the exact changes are still under debate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2015 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Characterization of Exopolysaccharide from Novel Bacillus sp. M3 and Evaluation on Development Sub-Chronic Aluminum Toxicity Induced Alzheimer’s Disease in Male RatsMohsen M.S. Asker, Abeer Y. Ibrahim, Manal G. Mahmoud, Saher S. MohamedThe number of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) all over the world is rising continually and becomes one of the biggest challenges for most societies throughout the world. The potential of peripheral biochemical markers as complementary tools in the neuron-phsychiatric evaluation of these patients has claimed further attention. The aims of our study were to isolate the bacteria that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 31 May 2015 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Humic Acid on the Content of Trace Element in MitochondriaDaniel Žatko, Janka Vašková, Ladislav Vaško, Peter PatlevičBased on our previous in vitro studies which pointed to the antioxidant properties of humic acids especially concerning radical scavenging activities and ability to maintain the redox system in the cell, an addition of 0.6% humic acid into the diet of farm chicken for 42 days was evaluated. The administration of humic acids have a positive effect on the antioxidant … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2015 · 7,984 accessesView PDFCite
