Accepted: 31 Jan, 2017 Abstract Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women around the world. Problems, such as treatment failure, drug resistance, heavy costs, other problems associated with the treatment of this type of cancer, have attracted the interest of many researchers to cyanobacteria, since these microorganisms have fewer side-effects compared to chemical drugs. In the present research, the effect of Oscillatoria extract was investigated on the viability of MCF7 cell line as well as caspase-9 gene expression.

Accepted: 10 Jun, 2016 Abstract Background and Objectives: To protect the body from destructive effects of oxidants, living organisms have an antioxidant system (enzymatic and non-enzymatic). This system can be affected by many factors, including exercise training. The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of resistance training on gene expression of lymphocyte antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) in healthy inactive men.

Accepted: 10 Jan, 2017 Abstract Background and Objectives: Studies have shown that impairment in kinases in the nervous system is related to many neurodegenerative disease. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is a serine/threonine kinase that participates in regulation of various functions of neurons. Accordingly, GSK-3β is one of the drug targets for nervous system therapies. In this study, the effect of decreased activity in the form of neuropathic pain, was investigated on GSK-3β gene expression in sciatic nerve fiber of male Wistar rats.

Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats (weight, 230 ±20g), were divided into DMSO treated healthy group, DMSO treated gonadectomized group, or the extract’s solvent (0.5ml), and gonadectomized groups (received 50 and 100mg/kg hydroalcoholic extract of Cuminum cyminum L.) (n=8). First, the hydroalcoholic extract was extracted by soxhlet, then, the extract powder was prepared using an oven. Testicles were removed by surgery. All injections were intraperitoneal, and half an hour after the injection, anxiety test was carried out using elevated plus maze. Anxiety evaluation’s standard indicators (staying period and the number of entering to free arm), were assessed and recorded for 5 minutes. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s tests (p<0.05).
