Article Synopsis
  • Venous thrombosis poses a health risk in clinics, and this study evaluates the impact of taurolidine, an antimicrobial agent, on thrombus formation compared to low-molecular weight heparin.
  • Four groups of Wistar-Albino rats were administered different treatments, and measurements were taken to assess thrombus weight and coagulation factors.
  • Results indicated that taurolidine reduced thrombus weight but was less effective than low-molecular weight heparin, possibly due to its limited impact on certain coagulation factors.

Background/aims: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a serious clinical situation which can cause serious morbidity and mortality. An experimental renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model was designed to evaluate the role of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) on renal function and histology.

Methods: 50 Wistar albino rats were used in our study.

Introduction: The liver is critical in multiple processes, including the clearance of endogenous compounds, the synthesis of macromolecules, and organ-specific biotransformation processes. Therefore, the liver's regenerating capacity is of vital importance. Multiple pathways are activated in the complex process that leads to hepatic regeneration.
