The Association Between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and Some Serum Oxidative Stress Markers in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Case- Control.

Purpose: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the serum oxidative stress markers in patients with NAFLD.

Methods: In this case-control study, 121 patients with NAFLD and 119 healthy subjects were frequency-matched on gender.

Effect of levetiracetam drug on antioxidant and liver enzymes in epileptic patients: case-control study.

Background: There is a limited amount of data regarding levetiracetam (LEV), an antiepileptic drug.

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the effect of LEV on antioxidant status and liver enzymes.

Methods: In this case-control study, 33 epileptic patients under treatment with LEV for at least 6 months were compared with 35 healthy subjects.

Relationship between Antioxidant Status and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Among Children.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the prevalent neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood. In general, diagnoses of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Recent studies have reported increased oxidative stress in psychiatric disorders such as ADHD, but the results are conflicting.

Vitamin B12 and Folate Status in Patients with Epilepsy Under Levetiracetam Monotherapy.

Background: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may lead to an increase in the plasma concentration of homocysteine. There is limited information, especially from Iran, regarding the risk in patients who are treated with levetiracetam as a new type of AED. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of levetiracetam on plasma homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folate levels in adult patients with epilepsy.

The effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Wendelbo bulb on dexamethasone-induced dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and oxidative stress in rats.

Recent evidences have suggested the beneficial cardiovascular effects of some plants belonging to the genus . The present study is an attempt to investigate the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of bulb on dexamethasone-induced dyslipidemia in rats. Total phenolic content of bulb hydroalcoholic extract was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu method.

Evaluation of fibrinolytic and antioxidant effects of hydroalcoholic extract.

is a member of Amaryllidaceae family, which grows wildly in some western regions of Iran. Limited information is available about the pharmacological activities of this plant. The present study aimed to evaluate the fibrinolytic and antioxidant effects of hydroalcoholic extract of aerial parts.

Comparison and evaluation of two diagnostic methods for detection of npt II and GUS genes in Nicotiana tabacum.

To diminish the time required for some diagnostic assays including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and also a visual detection protocol on the basis of npt II and GUS genes in transgenic tobacco plants were used. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Nicotiana tabacum leaf discs was performed with plant transformation vector of pBI 121. From kanamycin-resistant plants selected by their antibiotic resistance, four plants were selected for DNA isolation.
