Effect of local simvastatin application on mandibular defects
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)
Osteoinductive characteristics of bone grafts are important for enhancing osseous healing at grafted defect sites. The cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin has been shown to stimulate bone formation by increasing the gene ...
Assessment of the effect of a biphasic ceramic on bone response in a rat calvarial defect model
(WILEY-LISS, 2006)
Calcium phosphate ceramics are being extensively used for orthopedic, periodontal, and dental applications. This Study aimed to assess the effect of a biphasic ceramic such as Ceraform (R) on the osteogenesis in a rat ...
Effect of magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine on contractions of myometrium: pregnant human and rat
(BLACKWELL MUNKSGAARD, 2002)
Background. Magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine are smooth muscle relaxants used for treating preterm labor. The aim of this study is to investigate the action profile of these drugs on the amplitude and frequency ...
Relationship between capillary angiogenesis, fiber type, and fiber size in chronic systemic hypoxia
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2001)
Whether chronic hypoxia causes angiogenesis in skeletal muscle is controversial. Male Wistar rats, 5-6 wk of age, were kept at constant 12% O-2 for 3 wk, and frozen sections of their postural soleus (SOL), phasic extensor ...
Evaluation of the cell death pathway and apoptosis-stunning effect relationship after low- and high-dose I-131 administrations in rat thyroid tissue
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2006)
Objectives: This study had two aims; (1) to describe the cell death pathway (apoptosis or necrosis) induced by a low and high dose of radioiodine (I-131) in rat thyroid tissue in in vivo conditions and (2) to determine the ...
Chloride channel blockers 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid and anthracene-9-carboxylic acid inhibit contractions of pregnant rat myometrium in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2001)
OBJECTIVE: We compared in vitro relaxant effect of chloride channel modulators, such as 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) and anthracene-9-carboxylate (9-AC), and beta (2)-adrenergic agonists, such as ...
Arteriovenous anastomosis ultrastructure in the rat ovary

Histological findings of long-term healing of the experimental defects by application of a synthetic biphasic ceramic in rats
(WILEY, 2007)
Calcium phosphate ceramics are generally biocompatible and can develop interactions with human recipient bone. Therefore, they can be widely used in the field of periodontology and dentistry. The purpose of this investigation ...
The effects of reduced temperature and photoperiod on body composition in hibernator and non-hibernator rodents
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2002)
We examined the differential change in body composition in response to a gradual reduction in both environmental temperature and photoperiod to mimic seasonal fluctuations in the wild (summer-winter transition), from ambient ...
Evaluation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene mutation in normal rat salivary gland tissue after radioiodine application: An experimental study
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
In this experimental study, investigators explored p53 tumor suppressor gene mutation induced by low and high doses of iodine-131 sodium iodide (I-131) in salivary gland tissue in rats. Group 1 consisted of 10 rats; low ...
