Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are defined as the adhesion of opposing endometrial tissue with dense fibrous adhesive bands within the uterine cavity. With the increase in cesarean sections and endometrial surgical procedures, intrauterine adhesions have become a problem with increasing incidence and decreasing implantation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of ellagic acid (EA), a phenolic compound, on fibrosis in IUA model rats.

- The study investigates whether non-ionizing radiofrequency (RF) fields can trigger an adaptive response (AR) in adult mice and explores the molecular mechanisms behind this response.
- Conducted on 24 adult male Swiss-Albino mice, the experiment exposed two groups to 900 MHz GSM signals while two control groups were not exposed.
- Results indicated that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the adaptive response group may have activated stress responses and influenced DNA repair gene expressions, while certain antioxidant levels decreased, suggesting complex interactions between RF exposure and cellular mechanisms.
We aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin and curcumin treatment on oxidative stress, apoptosis, and histology of testicular tissue in our study. Four groups were formed using young (4 months old, n = 6) and aged (20-22 months old, n = 18) male Wistar albino rats: (a) Young control (1% ethanol:phosphate-buffered saline [PBS], subcutaneously [s.c.
