The molecular mechanisms through which ghrelin exerts its cardioprotective effects during
cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction (MI) are poorly understood. The aim of this …

This study evaluated the nephroprotective effect of kaempferol against cadmium chloride (CdCl
2 ) -induced nephropathy in rats. It also investigated if activation of Nrf2 is a common …

Aim: To investigate the possible role of oxidative stress as a common mediator of apoptosis
and cardiac damage in diabetes. Materials and Methods: This experimental work was …

This study investigated the molecular effects of acylated (AG) and unacylated ghrelin (UAG)
or their combination on hepatic lipogenesis pathways and DAG/PKC/JNK signaling in the …

Background: The habit of khat chewing represents a major socio-economic problem in many
countries but research into its hepato-renal toxic effects has produced contradictory results. …

The purpose of this study was to identify the sub-acute toxic effects of Khat (Catha edulis) on
hemopoiesis and hematological indices of white albino rats. Two groups, each of 10 rats, …

Khat chewing is a recreational habit known to pose major socio-economic and medical
problems in countries of Southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa. Among other adverse health …

A total of 30 patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) thrombocytopenia (TP) and 20 healthy
controls were studied. Both groups were subjected to complete medical history, clinical …

We have observed that pulmonary rapidly adapting receptor activity is greater in emphysematous
rats than in controls. Pulmonary receptor activity, if modified by lung disease, may …

Background: We tested the hypothesis that vitamin E may protect against pre-diabetes-induced
aortic injury (aortopathy), and exercise can augment the action of vitamin E. Material and …
