Cardiovascular effects of androgens

Wu F

The burgeoning interest in treating androgen deficiency against the background of the age-related decline in circulating testosterone in middle-aged and elderly men has outpaced the accrual of an adequate evidence base on causation, natural history, and accuracy/validity of diagnosis. The relevance of age-related hormonal changes in the somatotrohic and adrenal axes are currently also unclear. Fuelled by the increased choice of androgen preparations and heightened patient expe...

The study of nutrition with different salt concentrations in prenatal period on BP, tissue changes NA and aldosterone level in next generation

Heydarpour F

Introduction: Salt is the major environmental factor for a lot of hypertension problems. The effect of different salt consumption during prenatal period has been noticed little. In this study, the role of nutrition with different salt concentrations on BP, tissue changes were studied and NA and aldosterone level in next generation were evaluated.Method: Eight groups of rat, six in each group, (one male and five female) having 200±20 grams of weight ...

The effect of garlic odor on appetite center

Heydarpour F

Introduction: Some of the gastrointestinal disorder and diseases reduce appetite and inclination to eating food. In this situation for corresponding to this condition, certain medical management to be accomplished.One of the poultry diseases which reduces the rate of feeding most significantly is influenza. Food consumption decrease more than 80% in a very acute cases, because food consumption reduce significantly, poultry may loss their weight amount to 20–30 per cent in...

Hormonal Male Contraception: An Update

Wu F

Maintenance of spermatogenesis depends on adequate gonadotrophin and intratesticular testosterone concentrations. Hormonal contraception for men interrupts this physiological axis by various means of gonadotrophin suppression; this induces reversible azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia in virtually all men. Clinical trials have confirmed that high contraceptive efficacy, similar to female hormonal contraceptives, can be reliably attained with few side effects. However, the s...

Y Are Men The Weaker Sex?

Charchar F

The intention of this review is to illustrate whether it is our environment, hormones or genes that really make the sexes different in terms of the cardiovascular system. My focus will be on the genetic difference between men and women, in particular, the Y chromosome, a...
