Effect of ophthalmic preparation of methyldopa on induced ocular hypertension in rabbits.

Glaucoma is a type of ocular disorder with multifaceted etiologies characterized by progressive optic nerve damage and ultimately loss of visual field. This study aimed to evaluate the possible intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of an ophthalmic preparation of methyldopa (MD) in corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension in rabbits. Forty New Zealand white male rabbits were assigned to the experiment and then randomly divided into five groups (n = 8).

Azilsartan as a preventive agent against cyclophosphamide-induced testicular injury in male rats.

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a popular cancer treatment; however, despite its efficacy, it is known to cause harm to the testicles. To mitigate the reproductive damage caused by CP in male rats, we examined the protective effect of azilsartan (AZ) on CP-induced testicular damage. Thirty Sprague-Dawley male rats were equally divided into three groups: normal control group: received 0.

Novel effect of topical Roquinimex and its combination with Clobetasol on an imiquimod-induced model of psoriasis in mice.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting multiple systems and the skin, with topical therapy representing the fundamental treatment modality for psoriasis. Investigate the effect of topical Roquinimex (ROQ) alone and combined with Clobetasol propionate (CLO) on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model as a novel approach to treating psoriasis. Sixty male Swiss Albino mice were divided into six groups of ten mice; all groups except the negative control received IMQ cream 5% (62.
