The Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dexketoprofen trometamol, meloxicam, diclofenac sodium on any untreated alveolar bone when they are used as drugs for another indication.

Materials And Methods: Twenty eight male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups as dexketoprofen trometamol (Group I), meloxicam (Group II), diclofenac sodium (Group III) and control group. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) were administered after a fibula fracture for 10 days.

The effect of arsenic bioaccumulation in liver, kidney, skin, muscle, and intestinal tissues of mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio) was investigated on lipid peroxidation and certain antioxidant enzyme activities. In this study, three aquarium groups were formed from mirror carp: control group, 0.5-, and 1-mg/L arsenic concentrations.

Objectives: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are particularly used in patients with bone fractures, but there are limited studies on whether one NSAID is superior to another. In this study, we used histopathological and biochemical parameters to determine whether there are differences between the effects of the administration of clinical doses of dexketoprofen trometamol (DEXT), meloxicam (MEL) and diclofenac sodium (DIC) on the healing of closed fibular fractures and the toxicity of both the liver and kidney.

Methods: Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven each.

In this study, artificial neural network structures were used for the quantitative classification of Haemoglobin A1C and blood glucose level for diabetes diagnosis as a non-invasive measurement technique. The neural network structures make inferences from the relationship between the palm perspiration and blood data values. For this purpose, feed forward multilayer, Elman, and radial basis neural network structures were used.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the impact of nicotine and a combination of nicotine with vitamin E on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) activity across multiple rat tissues over three weeks.
  • Nicotine alone significantly inhibited G-6PD activity in several tissues, including the lungs and testicles, while having no effect on muscle, heart, or liver.
  • The combination of nicotine and vitamin E showed mixed effects, activating G-6PD in muscle and stomach but inhibiting it in testicles, brain, and liver, demonstrating that vitamin E can help restore G-6PD activity affected by nicotine.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was purified from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) erythrocytes and some characteristics of the enzyme were investigated. The purification procedure was composed of two steps: hemolysate preparation and 2('),5(')-ADP-Sepharose 4B affinity gel chromatography. Thanks to the two consecutive procedures, the enzyme, having a specific activity of 69.

Aims: The effects of ethanol on erythrocyte glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity were investigated under in vitro and in vivo conditions.

Methods: For in vitro studies, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified from human erythrocyte and rats were used for in vivo studies. Enzyme activity was determined spectrophotometrically by the Beutler method.
