Present study investigates the protective role of quercetin in reducing benzene-induced toxicity in rats. Sixteen adult rats, weighing 200-250 g, were selected. They were divided into four groups: 1. Control group, 2. Benzene inhaled group, 3. Quercetin group and 4. Group of benzene and quercetin in combination. Biochemical, spermatological paramet...

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of exercise on the level of the cortisol hormone and some physiological variables in male athletes. The cortisol, vitamin C, glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the serum of twenty young male basketball players were measured before and after the exercise. The cortisol value...

Introduction: The influence of electric field on the nature of blood flow and cells is controversial. Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) examination is a recommended approach to diagnose a few health conditions such as polymyalgia rheumatic and temporal arteritis. Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of electric field on ESR of hu...

The unexpected onset smell and taste disability was being recognized as a COVID-19 related symptom. Loss of smell might occur alone or be followed by other COVID-19 symptoms, such as a dry cough, fever, headache, and shortness of breath. Other virus infections have been linked to anosmia (parainfluenza, rhinovirus, SARS, and others), affecting up t...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bottled water left in the car and those left in the refrigerator on the physiological and biochemical parameters of male rats. Eighteen male albino rats were randomly divided into control, warmed bottled water (WBW), and cooled bottled water (CBW) groups. The concentrations of bisphenol A (BPA...

Increased oxidative stress appears to be a negative factor leading to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, β-cell dysfunction, impaired glucose tolerance, and ultimately leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the study is to investigate some serum oxidative biomarkers, lipids, and their association with hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 d...

The Indomie noodles are an instant noodle sold dried in packets or cups. The noodles are quick and easy to make and can be eaten as a snack or part of the main meal. This study was designed to examine the possible effect of different levels of Indomie noodles on the hematological biochemical profile, organosomatic index and male fertility indices i...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the largest endocrine disorder in the world that refers to chronic hyperglycemia caused by impairment in both insulin secretion and action. Folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D deficiency are related to the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective: This study has been carried out to investigate the role of fo...

The present study is designed to investigate the harmful effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on some physiological, histopathological, and biochemical aspects in rats, and the preventive role of quercetin. Thirty albino rats were distributed into five groups (6 in each group). The Control group received corn oil as a vehicle; in t...

In this study, the protective effects of antioxidant quercetin(QCT) were studied on indices of oxidative stress, liver enzymes activity and the expression of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) against hepatotoxicity induced by 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in male rat. Thirty adult male Wistar rats randomly divided into five equal groups....

Abdulkareem-Nanakali: Quercetin reduces oxidative stress damage to reproductive profile induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus L.)-13185-APPLIED ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 17(6):13185-13197. Abstract. The article aimed to investigate the effect of the antioxidant quercetin (QCT) on male Wistar...

This study was aimed to estimate nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in the serum of hypertensive patients. Fifty patients (25 males and 25 females) age 40-70 diagnosed with hypertension involved in the study. Fifty healthy individuals, who had no hypertension in the last year, were identified as the control grou...

Background: The mandatory month is Ramadan on Muslim’s fasting. Muslims cease from ingestion of food and water starting onset to grass widower to who wants to be fasting in this month that’s according to the lunar calendar; so many immunological, physiological and biochemical changes may happen. Objective: To evaluate some vitamins, hormones and im...

Study was conducted to determine the effects of Somadril (carisoprodol) on some hematological, biochemical parameters, and the histological structure in testis of treated rats. Three groups of 5 male rats received 0, 100, 200 mg Somadril per kilogram body weight in diet for thirty days. Results showed an overall decrease in total leukocyte counts a...

Blood samples from one hundred healthy women (29-33 year) have been taken. The women were divided into 2 groups: group 1 including 50 women that exclusively breast-fed for 6 months, and group 2 composed of 50 women in whom lactation was inhibited with formula feeding. The two groups were comparable in lipid profile, random blood sugar, serum calciu...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Nigella sativa seed and its oil added to the ration on some reproductive characteristics in broiler breeder males. In experiment I, a total of 40 male broiler breeders (45 weeks age) were divided into five equal groups each of 8 cocks. The first group served as control; groups 2 and 3 were f...
