Genistein Enhances the Beneficial Effects of Exercise on Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Balance and Cardiomyopathy in Ovariectomized Diabetic Rats.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of genistein, swimming exercise, and their co-treatment on heart oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiomyopathy in ovariectomized diabetic rats.

Background: It is well-established that diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in both young and postmenopausal women. Genistein is a natural phytoestrogen that has estrogenic effects.

Effect of Young Plasma Therapy on Cognition, Oxidative Stress, miRNA-134, BDNF, CREB, and SIRT-1 Expressions and Neuronal Survey in the Hippocampus of Aged Ovariectomized Rats with Alzheimer's.

Menopause may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. This study aimed to use young plasma therapy (YPT) to improve dementia caused by AD in aged ovariectomized rats. Female Wistar rats were used in the following groups: (a) young (CY) (180-200 g, 2-3 months, n = 10) and (b) old groups (250-350 g, 22-24 months, n = 60).

Vitamins A, C, and E Exert Anti-apoptotic Function in the Testis of Rats After Exposure to Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles.

Some reports emphasize that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are detrimental to the reproductive organs of animals. As such, this research aimed at exploring the apoptotic potential of ZnO NPs on testis along with the beneficial role of Vitamins (V) A, C, and E against ZnO NP-induced damage. To this aim, a population of 54 healthy, male Wistar rats were used in this work and then assigned into nine groups of 6 rats as G1: Control 1 (Water); G2: Control 2 (Olive oil); G3: VA (1000 IU/kg), G4: VC (200 mg/kg), G5: VE (100 IU/kg), G6: ZnO NPs exposed animals (200 mg/kg); and G7, 8 and 9: ZnO NPs-exposed animals that were pre-treated with either VA, C, or E.

Ameliorative Effects of Vitamins A, C, and E on Sperm Parameters, Testis Histopathology, and Oxidative Stress Status in Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle-Treated Rats.

One of the most often utilized nanoparticles (NPs) in several technologies is zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs. However, these NPs are said to have harmful effects on the reproductive system. Thus, we designed this study to specify the potential preventive activity of vitamins (Vits) A, C, and E, as antioxidants, against toxicity of ZnO NPs in the testes of rats.

The Restoring Effect of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Cell-Conditioned Medium (hMSC-CM) against Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Male Wistar Rats.

Objective: Pulmonary toxicity induced by CCl, a model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), leads to tissue remodeling and inflammation. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal cell-conditioned medium (hMSC-CM) is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antifibrotic agent.

Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were assigned to the control (C), olive oil control (C.

The Alleviative Efficacy of Vitamins A, C, and E Against Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles-Induced Hepatic Damage by Reducing Apoptosis in Rats.

Nanoparticles are vastly exploited in today's technology. However, it is realized that exposure to high concentrations of nanoparticles (NPs) may have adverse effects on human health. According to previous reports, zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs cause toxic effects in tissues via inducing apoptosis.
