Transitional metals, as vanadium, are known to exert noxious effects by generating oxidative stress. Addition of antioxidants in the diet could decrease the cytotoxic effect related to the oxidative stress. The present study, carried out in Wistar rats, is a

A rapid, simple, and most economical spectrophotometric method was proposed for the determination of nitrite in various water samples, soil samples, and roots of leguminous plants. The method is based on decolorizing effect of nitrite on complex formed between hydrogen
Vanadium is a ubiquitous trace metal present in most plant and animal tissues. Environmental exposure to trivalent and pentavalent inorganic vanadium compounds has been related to impaired different phases of reproduction. Therefore, the effects of a pentavalent inorganic vanadium compound

Acidophilia is one of the hallmarks of acute neuronal damage and death in brain ischemia, excitotoxic and traumatic lesions and epileptic seizures. We here describe a novel and simple method for visualizing acidophilic neurons on paraffin sections, using vanadium acid
Metallothionein (MT) is a low-molecular-weight cysteine-rich protein which has a high affinity for metals. The synthesis of MT is induced by heavy metals such as cadmium and zinc. However, little is known about the induction of MT by tetravalent or
