Objective: The aim of this study was to determine both the protective effect of rose water (RW) against DNA damage in the tissues of rats exposed to chlorpyrifos-ethyl (CPE) and RW's effect on the oxidant and antioxidant levels in the blood serum and brain tissues of those same rats.

Methods: In this experimental study, 32 mature male wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups: group I, control; group II, CPE; group III, RW; and group IV, CPE+RW. The parameters of DNA tail intensity and DNA tail moment were analysed in blood samples by comet assay.

Introduction: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a potent anticancer agent; its clinical use is limited due to its marked cardiotoxicity.

Aim: The present study was aimed at evaluating the cardioprotective effects of silymarin (SLY) and curcumin (CUR), which have strong antioxidant properties, against the toxic effects of high-dose CP on the heart of rats.

Materials And Methods: A total of 36 adult Wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into six groups.

Aims: To determine the plasma disposition of meloxicam in goats following S/C, oral or I/V administration at a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg bodyweight.

Methods: Five healthy Saanen goats, aged 12-14 months and weighing 35-40 kg, were used for a three phase cross-over design with a 10-day washout period, with meloxicam administered I/V, then orally and S/C.
