Entamoeba histolytica is pathogenic parasite that causes asymptomatic infection mostly; however, it may also cause invasive intestinal amoebiasis and liver abscess, leading to significant rates of human mortality globally. The clinical outcome of the infection with the parasite is variable and evidence suggested the contribution of genetic diversit...

Objectives: To assess the protective effect of L-carnitine in reducing cisplatin toxicity via estimating biochemical tests, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of β-catenin and cyclin D. Materials and methods: Fifteen adult male rabbits were used in this study and allocated into 3 groups; Group 1 (Control negative), rabbits of this...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the infection rates of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar , and Entamoeba moshkovskii among asymptomatic individuals in Erbil City, northern Iraq. The research intent was to discover whether pathogenic or nonpathogenic species cause a high rate of symptomless Entamoeba infections. Stool samples were...

E. histolytica is an intestinal parasite that causes asymptomatic infection mostly; however, it may also cause amoebic dysentery and liver abscess. Molecular identification is required in epidemiological studies due to the presence of morphologically identical nonpathogenic species. Therefore, this study was conducted to first evaluate the prevalen...

Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) or L-Glutamic acid is the sodium salt of glutamic acid is toxic to human and experimental animals. Liver and kidney may be susceptible to injury resulting from toxic substances. Ginger has immuno-modulatory, antitumorigenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, antihyperglycemic and anti-lipidemic actions. Objec...

Studies of the pathophysiological effects of suspected compounds are conducted in rodent species, especially rats and mice, to determine the potential toxic effects of a particular compound. In the assessment of acrylamide (ACR) which is available as a dietary compound in daily food stuffs, the potential toxicity was determined following the method...

ABSTRACT Background Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is commonly used food additive and flavor enhancer and it causes tissue damage. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), a medicinal plant that gaining popularity for its variety of biological protection activities. Objectives This study was carried out to find out the protective role of ginger in eliminating the...

Results showed no significant differences in serum urea and creatinine level of the low dose group, while mild and higher dose groups showed significant decreases compared with control. No significant differences recorded in T.S. bilirubin levels in all treated groups. S. uric acid levels significantly increased in the low dose group, but its level...

Pomegranate molasses (PM) is one of a main compound of the eastern diets, which is used for popular medicine treatment of various diseases. Most of these effects were attributed to its high phenolic antioxidant effects, but without much scientific investigations. For this reason, we have studied the effects of pomegranate molasses (PM) on cisplatin...
