Protective effects of quercetin against arsenic-induced testicular damage in rats.

This study investigated the effect of quercetin on changes in testes due to arsenic exposure. Twenty-seven male rats were divided into three groups: control (10 ml kg  day saline), arsenic (10 mg kg  day sodium arsenite) and arsenic + quercetin (arsenic + 50 mg kg  day quercetin). The rats were sacrificed at the end of 15-day experiment.

Protective effects of thymoquinone against apoptosis and oxidative stress by arsenic in rat kidney.

We aimed to investigate the protective role of thymoquinone (TQ) by targeting its antiapoptotic and antioxidant properties against kidney damage induced by arsenic in rats. We have used the 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were divided into three groups.

Protective effects of thymoquinone on experimental testicular ischaemia-reperfusion injury: an apoptotic, proliferative and biochemical study.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of thymoquinone (TQ), which has antioxidant properties in the experimental testicular I/R model in rats in terms of its anti-apoptotic, proliferative and biochemical attributes. In our study, 24 male rats were divided into three groups: control group, I/R group and I/R+TQ group. Testicular torsion was created by rotating the left testis 720° in a clockwise direction.

Determination of normal splenic volume in relation to age, gender and body habitus: a stereological study on computed tomography.

Background: The aim of this study is to assess and document the dimensions of the normal spleen measured on computed tomography (CT) images with the normal splenic volume measured by Cavalieri principle on CT images and thereby serve as a baseline for comparison in cases of splenomegaly using abdominal CT. To investigate the relationship between these changes and body mass index, gender, abdominal diameters.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed abdominal CT examinations of 212 adults between the ages of 20 and 88 years.
