Effect of ozone versus naringin on testicular injury in experimentally induced ulcerative colitis in adult male albino rats.

Testicular dysfunction is caused by the continuous inflammation and oxidative stress that are present at the local site in ulcerative colitis (UC) spreading to the testes via systemic circulation. The influence of ozone and naringine on colitis-mediated testicular dysfunction was investigated in this study. Forty-eight adult male rats were divided into four groups: I control group, II dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) UC-induced group, III DSS+naringine, and IV DSS+ozone groups.

The possible protective role of N-acetyl cysteine on duodenal mucosa of high fat diet and orlistat treated adult male albino rats and the active role of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and Interleukin 6 (IL6) (histological and biochemical study).

Background: Obesity is a major universal health issue linked to a majority of illness.

Aim: To evaluate the histological and biochemical changes occurred in the duodenal mucosa of high fat diet HFD and orlistat fed rats and to assess the possible protective role of N-acetyl cysteine NAC supplementation.

Material And Method: Sixty male albino rats weighing 180-200 g were classified randomly into control group I and three experimental groups (HFD group II, HFD + orlistat group III, and HFD + orlistat + NAC group IV).
