2 thiouracil/necrosis

Rabbits were fed with thiouracil for 8 months. Subsequently their hearts were examined electron microscopically as well as biochemically for collagen and hexosamine content. Chronic treatment with thiouracil induced an increase in interstitial connective tissue collagen and hexosamine without

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the preventive effect of Costus pictus leaf extract in experimental hypothyroidism. METHODS Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups with ten rats in each group: Control (C), hypothyroid (H), control+extract (C+E), and

Transplantable tumors of the thyroid gland have been produced by feeding of thiouracil (TU) to inbred Fischer 344 rats followed by the transplantation, initially, of pieces of hyperplastic thyroid gland, and in later generations, of pieces of transplanted tissue into similar rats or into rats fed a

The occurrence of liver haemorrhages was compared when diets containing 30 or 40 per cent rapeseed meal (RSM) or 30 per cent soybean meal (SBM), with and without experimental additives, were fed to in-lay hens of a commercial egg-producing strain for 12 weeks. The incidence of haemorrhages was

The cardiovascular effects of mild and overt thyroid disease include a vast array of pathological changes. As well, thyroid replacement therapy has been suggested for preserving cardiac function. However, the influence of thyroid hormones on cardiac remodeling has not been thoroughly investigated at

BACKGROUND The present study was designed to investigate the effects of hyperlipidemia on the cerebral lipids, vessels and neurons of rats, and to provide experimental evidence for subsequent intervention. METHODS One hundred adult SD rats, half of which were male and half of which were female, were

This work mainly aimed to investigate the probable changes of aortic calcification by policosanol, omega-3 fatty acids in comparison with atorvastatin and subsequent progression of atherosclerosis in diabetic hyperlipemic rat model. Adult male albino rats of wistar strain (30) were divided into five

An understanding of the molecular basis of liver regeneration will open new horizons for the development of novel therapies for chronic liver failure. Such therapies would solve the drawbacks associated with liver transplant, including the shortage of donor organs, long waitlist time, high medical

BACKGROUND Lycopene is a kind of carotenoid, with a strong capacity of antioxidation and regulating the bloodlipid. There has been some evidence that lycopene has protective effects on the central nervous system, but few studies have rigorously explored the role of neurotransmitters in it.
