The current study presents the bisphenol A exposure and the ameliorative effects of Adiantum capillus-veneris on testicular toxicity induced by bisphenol A. Adult male albino rats were divided into five groups of five animals each: A (control), B (vehicle control), C (toxic), D (protective), and E (ameliorative) were served distilled water, olive oil, bisphenol A (BPA) at 100 mg/kg body weight, A. capillus-veneris plant extract at 25 mg/kg body weight, and BPA + A. capillus-veneris, respectively. All of the doses were administered orally for 15 days, and the rats were then sacrificed. Blood samples for the testosterone assay and both testes were collected for histological examination. The body weight, paired testes weight, relative tissue weight index, Johnsen scoring of tubules, and level of serum testosterone decreased in BPA-treated rats. Similarly, histological examination of the testes in BPA-treated animals revealed a lower number of Leydig cells, an irregular basement membrane, sloughing of germinal layers, vacuolization, a lower number of spermatocytes, and debris in the lumen. However, co-administration of A. capillus-veneris with BPA increased the total antioxidative capacity (330.82 +/- 22.46 mu mol/mg protein) of the testes and restored the serum testosterone level (1.70 ng/ml); histological features showed restoration in the stages of spermatogenesis. Conclusively, A. capillus-veneris plant extract overcomes the estrogenic effects of BPA on the reproductive system of rats and protects rats' testes against BPA-induced injury/damage via an antioxidative mechanism that appears to be conciliated.

Gelatin Based Scaffolds and Effect of EGF Dose on Wound Healing Bilgic, H.; Demiriz, M.; Ozler, M.; Ide, Tayfun; Dogan, N.; Gumus, S.; Kızıltay, Aysel; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2013-04-01) In this study, gelatin based biodegradable scaffolds (GS) containing various amounts of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were prepared and applied to full skin defects created on rats in order to investigate the EGF dose effect on healing process. Scaffolds were prepared by freeze drying technique and stabilized with either glutaraldehyde (GA) or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDAC). In vitro cytotoxicity of the prepared scaffolds was assessed by using human skin fibroblast secondary culture (...
Toxicity of 2,4-D acid to phytoplankton Okay, OS; Gaines, A (Elsevier BV, 1996-03-01) The toxic effects of 2,4-D on Phaedoactylum tricornutum (Bohlin) and Dunaliella tertiolecta (Butcher), two species of phytoplankton well suited to bioassay studies and responsive to pollutants, were studied by monitoring changes in growth in terms of cell populations, chlorophyll fluorescence and the rate of (CO2)-C-14 assimilation. Short term bioassays, batch and continuous cultures were studied. Pure 2,4-D acid appeared more toxic than the commercial amine form of the herbicide but this may have been due ...
Killer toxins of certain yeast strains have potential growth inhibitory activity on Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria Izgu, F; Altinbay, D (1997-01-01) The killer yeast strains which are encountered most frequently among species in the genera Saccharomyces, Candida, Hansenula, Pichia and Kluyveromyces (ten killer strains in tote) were tested for the activity of their toxins on the growth of some pathogenic bacteria (four Gram-postiive and six Gram-negative strains) in a test in which purified toxins were not required. Neither toxins of the killer Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia membranefaciens strains were active against the bacterial Candida tropicali...
Morpho-anatomical studies on Bellevalia paradoxa Boiss. belonging to Liliaceae Kahraman, Ahmet; Celep, Ferhat; Doğan, Musa; KOYUNCU, MEHMET (2010-05-01) This current study presents investigations on the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Bellevalia paradoxa Boiss., a very attractive geophyte growing in the eastern and northeastern Turkey. For morphological studies, a detailed description as well as a distribution map of B. paradoxa are given. The morphological features of the species are also compared to those reported in Flora of Turkey. For anatomical studies, tranverse sections of the roots, scapes and leaves, and surface sections of the lea...
Integromic Analysis of Genetic Variation and Gene Expression Identifies Networks for Cardiovascular Disease Phenotypes Yao, Chen; Chen, Brian H.; Joehanes, Roby; Otlu, Burcak; Zhang, Xiaoling; Liu, Chunyu; Huan, Tianxiao; Tastan, Oznur; Cupples, L. Adrienne; Meigs, James B.; Fox, Caroline S.; Freedman, Jane E.; Courchesne, Paul; O'Donnell, Christopher J.; Munson, Peter J.; Keles, Sunduz; Levy, Daniel (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015-02-10) Background-Cardiovascular disease (CVD) reflects a highly coordinated complex of traits. Although genome-wide association studies have reported numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to be associated with CVD, the role of most of these variants in disease processes remains unknown.
