To determine the effect of natural clinoptilolite (CLN) and nano-sized clinoptilolite (NCLN) on lipid profile, food intakes (FI) and weight changes in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. In this experimental study, 36 rats were randomly divided into two groups: diabetic group which was injected STZ (60 mg/kg BW), and a non-diabetic group. Three days after diabetes induction, each of these groups was randomly divided into 3 subgroups of 6 animals ((1) control, (2) 1%/food CLN, (3) 1%/food NCLN).

In this study we investigated whether clinoptilolite and nano-sized clinoptilolite could reduce hyperglycemia and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and attempted to determine which intervention was more effective.
Methods: Thirty-six rats were randomly allocated to 2 groups; 1 group was randomly chosen as a diabetic group and injected with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight in 0.
Introduction: Mitral stenosis (MS) causes structural and functional abnormalities of the left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA), and studies show that LAA performance improves within a short time after percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of PTMC on left atrial function by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
Methods: We enrolled 56 patients with severe mitral stenosis (valve area less than 1.
Background: There are few studies of the prevalence of elevated blood pressure that include Iranian adolescent girls.
Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the blood pressure status and its relationship with body mass index (BMI) in adolescent girls attending high school in Tabriz, Iran.
Methods: A sample of 985 girls was selected by stepwise random sampling from five districts of Tabriz.
