Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Immunological Study on the Effects of Barley and its Components as Hypoglycemic Agents in Diabetic RatsMokhtar I. Yousef, Medhat Haroun, Mohamed H. El-Masry, Reham EA. AteiaThe present study was carried out to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of barley (Hordeum vulgare L) and some of its components such as amino acids (L-leucine and L-glutamine) and chromium picolinate on some biochemical and immunological parameters of alloxan induced diabetic rats. Alloxan-diabetic rats were treated with barley water (10% w/v) at a dose 10 ml Kg-1 b.wt., chromium picolinate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemical Detection of Apoptosis-Related Proteins in Gerbil Hippocampus Transient Cerebral Ischemia: Neuroprotective Effect of PitavastatinToshiki Himeda, Natsumi Hayakawa, Hiroko Tounai et al.Delayed and selective neuronal damage was caused in the CA1 sector of hippocampus following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils. We investigated the immunohistochemical alterations of apoptosis-related proteins such as bcl-2α, bcl-xs/l, bax, cytochrome c, and active caspase 3 and TUNEL staining in the hippocampus at 1 and 5 hr and 1, 2, 5 and 14 days after … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCiprofloxacin Does Not Exert Nephrotoxicity in RatsAsli Baykal, Figen Sarigül, G Süleymanlar et al.Ciprofloxacin, a member of the fluoroquinolone class, is an antibiotic used as a treatment for infections including the Anthrax bacteria. Studies concerning the safety and efficacy of ciprofloxacin have been controversial with respect to nephrotoxicity. Using rats orally treated with ciprofloxacin (400mg/kg/d), the effects of this drug were analyzed measuring several indications of nephrotoxicity: β-NAG, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
