Selenium protects against nesfatin-1 modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis during hypothyroidism in male rats.

Normal gonadal function can be disrupted by hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism disturbs testicular function directly and centrally by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis with unclear mechanism. As nesfatin-1 neurons co-localized with TRH and GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, it could play a role in centrally hypothyroidism induced testicular dysfunction.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Methicillin Resistance in Isolated from an Egyptian University Hospital.

Methicillin-resistant in is a serious public health issue. It is mostly encoded by the gene. The gene is a new analog responsible for resistance to methicillin in some clinical isolates.

Human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells as a potential therapy for schistosomal hepatic fibrosis: an experimental study.

The objective of our study was to assess the effect of human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation on schistosomal hepatic fibrosis in mice. The study animals were divided into three groups. Group I is a control group, where the mice were infected with cercariae and remained untreated.
