Effect of Vitamin E on Apoptosis of the Endothelial Cells of the Carotid Arteries in Hypercholesterolemic Male Rabbits.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the principal cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries, leading to the formation of atherosclerosis plaques and thrombosis. Apoptosis of endothelial cells is one of the primary factors in vascular thrombosis. Lipids, when oxidized by endothelial cells, result in an increased thickness of the arterial wall.

Prediction of seizure incidence probability in PTZ model of kindling through spatial learning ability in male and female rats.

Epilepsy is a common neurological disease characterized by periodic seizures. Cognitive deficits and impairments in learning and memory are also associated with epilepsy. Neuronal changes and synaptic modifications in kindling model of epilepsy are similar to those occur during the learning procedure and memory formation.
